Looking to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience of everyone on this question. I work at my uncles custom cabinet shop and a customer is requesting something we have never done before. They wood like a custom art design burned into one of the pieces we are making for them. While we haven't ever done nothing like this before we never shy away from a request, only thing is we don't have the tools to do this.
I have been asked to research and find a tool for the job. I ran across this best wood burning tools guide and it seems pretty comprehensive in that the different models range from hobby level to professional level. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with any of the higher brands on that list (True Art and Razertip). Mainly looking to see how durable they are and if they will hold up in a dusty cabinet shop when working with the tool. Pretty pricey piece of equipment to have it give out because of a dusty shop.
If you have other suggestions I'm all ears as well. The piece is fairly detailed and artistic so I do think we need the wire tip style. I suppose we could always keep it stored and use it only when there isn't a bunch of sanding and sawing gone on.
All ears!
