A friend of mine bought me a Creative Versa-Tool wood burner but I never bought a book for it because the Michael's in town has a very small wood burning section. So I was looking around and asked someone about it. I asked if I am wasting my time with this cool tool or should I save up for the expensive big boy tool and this person told me that I can just get a lamp dimmer and use that. Well, I just so happen to have one of those. I tried it and it works great.
The only issue that I have with this light dimmer is that it doesn't really have a dial, it has buttons instead. Like "Bright" and "Dim" so I had to plug in a lamp into it and press the dim button while counting lol. It does 0 dim to 15 bright so when I use the wood burner with it I have to just count lol. I think it would be a good idea to buy a piece of wood and trace like a checkerboard and number it 1-15 and just do shading in each of those boxes so I will get a better idea of what each shade looks like so in the future I will know the exact shade I need lol. Good idea eh?
If someone has a Creative Versa-Tool wood burner, I would love to hear your comments if you have some good suggestions on how to do things.
