Features

The Colwood Super Pro II woodburning kit comes with two replaceable tip handles and includes 3 of the most popular tips. The kit also includes 2 abrasive tips polishers and Sue Walters' Pyrography Workbook. Even though this is the latest model, it's still a good choice for woodburners who want to get started. Here are some of the most important features of the new model.


Dimensions

Colwood Super Pro II can be ordered in two lengths to match different cars. One heavy duty cord and one ultra flexible cord are available. Each unit is equipped with its own control unit, with its own wattage. It also has its power supply and the cord size. You will have more options when it comes to detailing. The Super Pro II's heat range is higher than the Detailer's.

The Super Pro II Unit measures 6.2 inches x 4.5 inches x 2.5 inches. The tip storage bag measures 8-1/2 by 13 by 9 1/2" by 5" in the plastic carrying case. Each tip measures approximately 1/4", while the B Large Point Fixed Tip is 0.076". The D Small Round Fixed tip is 1/8", and the S Shaping Fix is 3/16".


Temperature range

Colwood Super Pro II can be used in many different applications. It has a wider heat range and wattage that is comparable to the Detail Master Exccalibre. It is designed to work on a 120V outlet. The Super Pro should not be used in countries with different voltage standards. Here are some pros and cons to the Colwood Super Pro.

The Colwood Super Pro II comes with two separate burning capacities. The thermostat can be calibrated between one and ten and regulates the burning temperature electronically. The high-temperature range on the heavy-duty side has been replaced by the detail side which is perfect for feather detailing. The Detailer has a wider heat range. It includes a control box and two handle cords, one heavy-duty, and one ultraflex.

Pen tips

One of the benefits of the Colwood super pro ii pen is the ability to replace the tip. The tip can be easily removed from the base and replaced with a larger lip. Colwood also ships handsets in protective plastic tubes, and labels them with the letter "RT".

Storage case

If you own a woodburner, you probably want to keep the Colwood SuperPro II storage case nearby. This case stores the woodburner, accessories, and other items. The new design eliminates the need for molded compartments. Instead, it uses one foam insert. The case comes with an accessory storage container and space to add a second one if required. Although it might seem expensive, this case is a great value.




FAQ

Are you able to teach yourself woodworking

You can learn everything best by doing. Woodworking is an art that takes patience, practice, skill and experience. Mastering any craft takes time.

Learning how to do something is best done by doing it. Start small, and work your way up from there.


Do I have the potential to make a decent living doing this?

Yes! In fact, many woodworkers already do. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual woodworker wage was $34,000 in May 2012. This is higher than the $31,000 annual national average.


What types of woods are best for furniture making?

Woods are classified according to their hardness. Softwoods can be pine, fir or cedar. They're often used for outdoor furniture because they don't rot easily. These hardwoods include maple, mahogany and teak. They're generally used indoors because they won't weather well outdoors.


Where can I purchase woodworking supplies

There are plenty of places where you can find everything you need to start out. For example, you could visit local hardware stores or look online at websites like Amazon.com.

You can also look for used furniture at flea markets or garage sales.


What wooden items do you sell well?

Most wooden items that are best-sellers are made from wood harvested sustainably.

Most furniture is made from oak, maple, mahogany or walnut.

These woods not only have great strength, but also beautiful patterns and colors. If they are well cared for, they can last many years.

To protect wooden furniture from moisture damage, you should paint it first. This includes all surfaces, including drawers, doors, and handles.

If you want to make sure that your furniture lasts as long as possible, then you should choose a paint that is resistant to water.

Use a high-quality, oil-based primer and two coats of topcoat. It is possible to apply multiple coats depending on how heavy the wear.

Avoid spray cans and aerosol paints. These products contain solvents which evaporate quickly and leave behind harmful fumes.


How can I learn basic woodworking skills

It is an excellent way to learn how to build furniture. You can make a simple bench yourself. You can do this project using any type of wood you have on hand at home. If you don't know what kind of wood to use, then go ahead and buy some cheap pine boards from Home Depot or Lowes. After you've built your bench, you'll want to sand off all the rough edges and finish it with a stain or varnish.



Statistics

  • Most woodworkers agree that lumber moisture needs to be under 10% for building furniture. (woodandshop.com)
  • The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the number of jobs for woodworkers will decline by 4% between 2019 and 2029. (indeed.com)
  • If your lumber isn't as dry as you would like when you purchase it (over 22% in Glen Huey's opinion…probably over 10-15% in my opinion), then it's a good idea to let it acclimate to your workshop for a couple of weeks. (woodandshop.com)
  • Woodworkers on the lower end of that spectrum, the bottom 10% to be exact, make roughly $24,000 a year, while the top 10% makes $108,000. (zippia.com)

How To

How do you measure wood accurately?

We have several ways to measure wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.

A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.

Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.

Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
