"you've never seen a piece like this" but yet its like every other fractal wood burn that ive seen lmao

I've been binge-watching woodworking videos lately, and this one is by far one of the best I've seen. Such precision and finesse in every cut and carve

I have learned a bunch from watching your videos. Especially when it comes to sanding. Your transformer works much better then my neon light transformer. You are a true artist.

IT’S 2000 volts, 20 times electricity needed to kill you in an instant. ONE TOUCH to the surface of the wood/clip/table/equipment WILL KILL YOU. AGAIN, DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!

Do not do the fractal wood burning. It can VERY easily kill you, and in the few cases you survive an accident it will maim you and likely start a very large fire. It is possible to do this without problems, but incredibly risky and extremely hard to make safe. All it would take is one mistaken touch

@bruceburnswoodshop 5:49 I’m an artist, welder, sculptor etc. My dad’s a welder, firefighter and has many other trades under his belt and my grandpa was a master woodworker and built instruments too. So after seeing some bad injuries growing up, I have a healthy fear of engines, chainsaws, electric machines etc. I was always told to respect the tool!! My dad always says the machine doesn’t care if it cuts your finger off or injures you in other ways, it’s important keep safety as your number 1 priority! Often times using tools without paying attention to what you’re doing 110% is when you get hurt. Especially when working with fast moving parts or electricity. If there’s anything I’d suggest for your videos is to tell people to RESPECT THE TOOL and keep safety as your #1 priority. Thanks for sharing your videos! They’re neat to watch!

Be so careful with that. Many people don't understand how high the transformer puts the voltage up to. They think they're dealing with your household 120v when it actually puts the voltage up to 2000v or more. That kind of thing will fuse your contacts to your cornea and burn you from the inside out from a single touch. Sometimes it can even jump gaps. It would be incredibly painful, but usually death is instant.

Nice work

It definitely depends on what you’re selling and for how much. But I will also say I don’t know if there’s anything that’s quite as enjoyable and satisfying as working with wood.

Not that I know of, I use epoxy because it forms a very strong bond to wood.

I have built my own fractal burner and made several projects. I enjoy the process. I did, however, get bit by the burner on my first try. Thank God I had some friends there, too. Took about 18 months to get close to it again. I now have a foot switch and do one step at a time before stepping on that switch. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger or wiser. I'm much wiser today. Great videos.

Kill switch, kill switch kill switch. never, I repeat, never burn without a kill switch. I like your creativity. Just wondering, did you ever consider using a neon sign transformer for burning? You can do amazing things using one. I’ll try to send you some photos of my work.

Saw your video some time ago on your set up using one of those hard plastic cases for tools and I haven’t built one myself like that but I definitely still plan on it. I like the idea a lot better than having it just out in the open while using, Just an accident waiting to happen. I got recommended this video asking an AI for some inspiration on what I can do with my random assortment of boards I have burned and filled with epoxy and coated like yours. Really like the mountain idea and I think I’m gonna try it, I’ll be sure not to make it an exact replica or anything 😝(just a joke, because you know, fractal patterns lol)

Really wanting to get a neon sign transformer at some point, I heard those things work a lot better if you get a good one and can make better patterns because of the higher voltage, unless burning through material, charging it from just the raw heat of the high amps from mot.

Badass pieces. Fractal wood burning is scary. I've been doing electrical work for 15 years or so mainly on the dc automotive side but still understand how dangerous it is. What are the mountains being used for? The one thing I was curious about was if they are using them as wall pieces they may be rough to hang with the way you lobbed off the peaks on your backing. Couldn't you have just used luan as the backing and it would've been easier to form to the mountains? Either way, kick ass job!!!
