Thrift Store Find: Wood Burning Kit

CalamityJon's picture

At the same thrift shop where I found the old-school comics rack spinner, I found this wood-burning kit.

It's really in excellent shape considering its age - actually, even not considering its age, merely the fact that it survived sitting on a shelf crammed with Atari 2600 controllers and broken fans speaks a lot to its condition.

I've kind of always wanted a wood-burning kit; we had my brother's old one lying around the garage for ever and a day, but my mother was too nervous to let me ever play with it, and it went the way of flared trousers during a garage sale one day in the Eighties.

I'm not sure if this one still works, but it was worth a couple of bucks to find out. Maybe I'll graduate from woodburning to ritual scarification. It IS the 21st century, after all...
