As you may have noticed we use a fair amount of pyrography on some of our turned pieces. This is possible largely in part to, what we call, the Priddle Vaporizer 1000 that we built a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

The Priddle Vaporizer 1000 is made from a 10 amp battery charger and based on a design by woodturner, Graeme Priddle<\/a>, hence the ‘Priddle’ portion of the name.<\/p>\n

We made it because, although the smaller, commercial versions of woodburners are very good for traditional woodburning applications, they don’t lend themselves well to projects that require a lot of burning or those that require larger brands. The problem in these cases is that the tip tends to cool quickly and you have to wait a long time for it to reheat, therefore a project may take much longer than necessary. Likewise, with the extra power the options for homemade brand styles greatly increases.<\/p>\n

Here’s a photo of the burner in use. You can see why it’s called a vaporizer. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
