Dyan, you're a natural teacher. You had examples of your work, organized the lesson well, stacking the steps in a nice logical way. I liked that you kept it simple and straightforward, while providing good side tips on safety, choice of tools (with consideration to costs) and ease of handling. Words of encouragement good too. It can take years of teaching experience to attain this array of skills so props to you (and grandma for the shop space)! And, thanks for the lesson. Even though I've done a bit of word burning, I still learned something and will check out your other videos!

Hey to everyone who has taken time to watch this video, it really does mean a lot to me! If you`re interested in seeing more of what I do, check out this channel! It`s my daily life channel where I make videos about my crazy interesting life and behind the scenes of Dylan`s DIY Workshop

Ya done good kid. I'm 57 and trying to learn how to wood burn(burn wood?). Quick and simple. Thanks

Ahh, finally an actual beginners video on wood burning. Others start talking too fast and burn some fancy things and it's very intimidating! Thank you for showing the different types of wood burners and I'm glad I have the exact one you used here. Will definitely be subscribing. :)

Ha! Holds up a Legend Of Zelda picture and said he'll provide a Link.

What a kind, sweet soul you have. Thank you for sharing your video with us. I have just started getting interested in wood burning. I wish my son had your patience and expertise. Bless your heart and I'll keep watching your videos. Thank you again.

This was great, thank you! And my hat goes off to you for being a full time student, AND working almost full time hours, AND keeping up with a hobby, AND making RU-vid videos. Excellent work!

Nice! I am a beginner. Already addicted! I like your work.

What a pleasant, thoughtful young man you are. Your family must be very proud of you. Thanks for the great videos.

good job bud... Im a 69 yr old lady just remembering how much fun i had doing this, with NO memory *how* ha! so this is great. Will be watching more. Cant believe how much i already learned :) Thanks

thank young Maestro man .!!!..I'm 68 and I'm steel learning from good people like you...!!! Perfect !

This was super helpful! Thank you for making the video. I'm memorializing some fallen soldiers my husband had the honor of serving with and I'm putting the names on my wood trim for my flower bed and buying solar spotlights to keep the names illuminated like the American flag in our yard and I knew I wanted to do wood burning but had no idea where to start. I'm so glad I clicked on your video. Thanks again.

Dylan you're a great tutor...it's awesome that you can fit this between your school and work and other stuff, and despite the young of your age it shows how devoted , focused and organised you are, and the will you have. I'm pretty sure the future will hold wonderful things for you because you deserve it! Thanks for the detailed presentation!

Excellent video Dylan! I am so impressed with your presentation, I'm a 58 yr old woman trying to learn woodworking and have watched a lot of youtube tutorials and your's has been the best. Thank you!

Thanks for the video! I made a wood-burned sign for my brother's birthday and this helped me out a lot

I just recently decided to pick up woodburning as a hobby, something to do. Thank you for your video and I will be looking out for more from you. Thanks again!

I'm now convinced of giving wood burning a try I've always wanted to and now I will! Thanks!

I just started watching your videos, today actually. I think you’re very helpful, you’re very patient and very nice and I think you’re doing everyone on here a great service! But you also need to take care of you and if you can’t be on here as much as you used to be or you would like to be or even how much other people want you to be on here then that’s the way it has to be.....you have to worry about your own life and that’s number one priority. So, speaking for myself please don’t be apologetic for trying to get your life started I think it’s great that you’re going to school LOL. So again thank you very much for the help I’ve been burning for quite a while now, I do more personal things such as a wedding picture frames things like that and I enjoy it tremendously it is very relaxing except for the part where my fingers start burning LOL. So I wish you all the best and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work thank you again and good luck

I really enjoy how you give exactly the details we need and share your personality. I also appreciate your editing to be respectful of time. This has helped this beginner greatly. Thanks a bunch! Keep up the great work.

My first time in 40yrs. I love your work and how you explain it. Thank you for sharing.

I can already tell you’re gonna be one of my favorite youtubers! Just recently got a tool and I thought I should give it a shot. I’m so happy I came across your video, you are a great teacher and glad you are still uploading new videos!

Great thank you!! I haven’t done wood burning in forever. Starting again, lucky to be naturally artistic. Still wanted some tips because it’s been 20 years ;)

I bought a similar tool here in UK. I did my very first today, just lettering for my daughter's Christmas eve box. I'm glad my idea of penciling the letters on first. Thank you for the advice, your a star and thank you for the carbon paper tip.

This helped alot, thank you. It's a simple concept but you helped me see it a bit differently. Beautiful flower.

Wow, Your skills are impressive! I used to do alot when I was many years younger (I'm 60 now). Just goes to show you Your never too old to have fun! I appreciate you taking the time to show people- Looking at some of your other videos I see your a master tradesman. Very nice & thanx again!

Thanks Dylan, I am a novice, no a beginner! Thanks for going slowly over your instructions! Kudos!

Locked down due to coronavirus travel restrictions, thought I'd try my hand at wood burning. I'm glad I watched this video first. I didn't know about the different types of burners and their heat settings. This is good to know. Thanks!

Dylan I can not say thank you enough. I am new to wood burning. In fact waiting for my tool to be delivered. I have watched a few beginner videos and was thinking " oh lord what have I gotten in to" , until I watched your video. I like the way you explained things simply so that it was easy to understand. Now I feel like I can do this.

I learned a lot watching this video, and I want to thank you for taking the time to show how to wood burn. Your video is so much better than others I've tried watching. Great job.

Here Are Some Links to the wood burners I use. Razertip Wood Burner: amzn.to/2AC9GMq My First Wood Burner (the red one): amzn.to/2zQRXz1

Never ever seen your channel just found you while I was looking for tips on wood burning, and not even 5 minutes in and I subscribed. You're awesome bro, I'm gonna be using a soldering iron to practice on tomorrow before I put it 3 foot long and 2 foot wide on my new coffee table that I made today out of pallets

Great intro to woodburning. I'm just starting a little project to make an open/closed sign for a volunteer group and your tips will help me do a reasonably good job for my first try. Thank you!

Thank you for the simplicity, well laid out beginner's lesson, have a family member that will find this VERY useful, ur a very good teacher...that will serve you well later in life...great job!!!👍

Great tutorial, Dylan! I purchased the simple wood burner and found it awkward to handle but the simple kit did include a stand for the burner to keep the burner from rolling around. It's just 16 gauge wire bent into horseshoe shape and then bent to make a flat stand on the bottom. Something I know you'd be capable of making with a heavy gauge wire and a pair of needle nose pliers. 😊

Thank you, Dylan. Great video with lots of neat tips. As someone pointed out previously, you are a natural teacher.

Wow an actual beginner wood burning video!! Hands down best one I have found!! Great job explaining everything, love this!!

Good video. Clearly laid out, and good clear view of what is being done, which is very important, and also good clear explanations

Excellent, wanted to try this for years finally have the time during lockdown. I can see where I’m going wrong now need to change the tip and turn temp up.👍

Thanks for this!! I haven't wood burned since I was a kid, and that was a LONG time ago. I needed a refresher. Good luck in all your endeavors!

Thank you. You're a great teacher. Greetings from Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia 😊

we watched this in my art class, a lot of people including the teacher thought the video was cringey but literally nothing about it is cringey? I think your works are rad and I actually enjoy your stuff. can't wait to see what else you make in the future ✌

Hey sending a big shout out from Va Beach...and a HUGE THANKS for the video. I'm a disabled vet with plenty time on my hands. I decided to give wood work a shot and wood burning. I'm a little intimidated being I can't draw a straight line but you covered that also..lol thanks so much..God Bless...GREAT work..

What more can I say! Everyone else seems to have covered just about all I would have wanted to say myself! I am an artist of just about all mediums, from Painting, jewelry making, to sculpting and music. And just recently looking to add wood burning to that list. Mostly self-taught on some of them. But for the others, had a couple amazing teachers I've looked up to who've made learning a historically (learning the backgrounds and such) fun experience. But when it comes to this avenue... classes via video, I'd say it's always good to have it available at our fingertips. As many people don't always have a way to either get out to find a good wood burning class on the fly, or especially (as I speak) when say, people all around the world may find they're faced with a lockdown because of a global pandemic (something all of us never thought we'd ever say). Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share and teach your craft with us. You are indeed a great teacher through and through. Will definitely sub. *thumbs are up*

I just bought a wood burning tool and this is the first video I watched. It is very informative and moves along at a good pace. Thank you for not adding annoying music! :)

Im just getting into wood burning, this has been a big help, thank you.

What a sweetheart you are! Very good video. I'm just starting to do this craft....your instructions were slot on and I so appreciate it. You do beautiful work! Take care and don't work too much.

Thank you Dylan. I agree you are a natural teacher. I learned a lot and made two Christmas ornaments tonight!

One of the best basic beginners tutorials I've seen so far. Even explanation of different burners. Thanks.

super great video! really really helpful, especially compared to some of the other channels I've seen. Your focus on technique is super useful!

Very nice tutorial to beginning woodburning. I picked up a wood-burning tool a while back and just now trying my hand at it. Thank you so much for making these videos it does really help a lot especially for somebody who is beginning. I'll definitely sub and keep an eye on your videos. Thank you so much

Love this video. You are good at explaining this stuff for a seasoned senior. I learned a lot. Am making a wood valance for over the windows instead of curtains.

You explained very well. Thank you for saying what wood you were using. I have only been wood burning for about a month and I have been making it a lot harder then it should be. I realized after watching a few videos I’m doing it completely wrong! You create some really nice work!

Thank you so much, you’re so sweet for doing this. I’ll use them all. Good luck in school 😉

Thank you very much I'm 40 and I'm just getting started with wood burning any help is good help thank you again

Thank you!! Excellent overview here and so helpful

Thank you for very good instructional video. You have made starting far less daunting than I thought it would be.

Thank you so much for this video im currently making a birthday present for my girlfriend and ive got the wood shape cut out and i just needed to learn basics of wood burning ur absolutely amazing at it (: keep it up

Dylan, you are adorable. I know this was made 4 years ago so I hope you have been successful in your ventures. You are a natural for video teaching. I know these take time and it is appreciated with all your subscribers. Thank you so much.

I'm impressed with your teaching skills. No unnecessary words yet very informative. I have a lot of respect for you young man.

I did some Christmas tree ornaments and they came out really nice. I have a sign that I need to make for a family member that owns a dog breeding business. This really helped

thanks mate! i drank too many beers n tried a design on my axe handle n thought il have another go at this after 30 yrs! really good tutorial!

This video is BRILLIANT! I have only just started getting interested in the idea of wood burning but I thought it was far to difficult for some one like me with no artistic talent or co-ordination, but you have shown me that with time and patience even I can do it! :) Thank you so very much! I have now subscribed to you channel! :) Take it easy every now and then you have a very busy schedule and what you do is appreciated by your fans and watchers! :)

Solid job! My first YT on wood burning and it was very simple very easy. I dn have to keep backing up and restarting because I missed something. Thumbs up!

Very informative. I do all kinds of crafts but have never done wood burning. I just recently ordered a wood burning kit and was looking for instructional videos. Yours was very helpful. Thank you.

Cool thanks for this! My sis just bought one with a few different heads for it so thanks for this to help me start out especially the carbon paper idea too!!! Thank you 😊 cose she won’t use it very often so she’s going to let me use it 👍

Thanks for the tutorial. Just got one for Christmas. I'm excited to try it out but have to acquire some wood first :D Want to draw some Art Nouveau but after watching this I think I'll try something a little easier first, aha :)

Very natural delivery. Really enjoyed watching.

Dyan, good teaching skills, good examples, & techniques. I learned more from you than hrs I spent on Pinterest. Thank you and God bless.

Young man, you are inspiring. Thank You. ❤

Dude you are so awesome. Love this video and I can't believe that I'm learning from a young man (idk as apposed to a middle aged woman? 🤔🤐) You're just not the stereotypical RU-vid tutorial person but you are truly one of the best teacher's. I'm super glad I found your channel and I'm totally subscribing .

Great video for beginners! I used to mess with it as a kid. I've decided to do it as a Christmas gift. The going slow is the one thing I had never learned and now I can continue, but going slow lol

Dylan it is so amazing seeing a young man like you to do such wonderful crafts. Thank you for showing it to us. Great Job

Great info sweethrart! Thanks for even explaining the more advanced machine... I saw it in another person's video but she didn't explain. I'm trying to use Woodburn for a way of getting quality time with my 10 yr old son who's a gamer. He's actually pretty excited! Nice to find such a great video from a younger person he can look up to. :)

Good job Dylan. Learned a lot, especially about the part needing patience when wood burning.

Dylan, thank you for this video. This is perfect for my art class. We will be starting a new project and I have chosen wood burning. You explained a lot and love your honesty on how difficult it is and to be patient. Keep up the good work and good luck in school.

Wow! I found this looking for insight on burning in a date for a neighbor's sign. My goodness man you are talented. Great to see young folks taking on crafts like this.

Outstanding job. You should be a college professor, you're a natural instructor.

Thank you Dillon. I appreciate your time and commitment to share and help us learn.

Very nicely done. He is so easy to listen to and follow what he's trying to show. Thank for making it simple & easy to understand & do.

I love drawing and have always wanted to try wood burning, but had no idea where to start. Thank you so much for putting this video together! So helpful for a beginner like me.

Thank you for taking the time to make videos.

I have big project on my guitar. I think im gonna do this pyrography on my top acoustic guitar. Thanks mate!

Very nicely done. The instructions were clear and the cautions helpful. Very likable young man!

Watched this video today and found you AWESOME, easy to follow and under stand. Hope thinks are muc better for you since 2016

This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you so much!

Amazing talent!! Beautiful. Thanks!!

Well done Dylan you are a natural teacher.I am new to wood burning and have been looking at the soldering iron style wood burning and I am glad I watched your video first I can now look at something a little more expensive but worth it in the end.You are easy to listen too and know your stuff. once again well done, there should be more teachers like you out there.

Thanks Dylan, you are a good teacher. I’m new at this, and have a soldering style tool... I had no idea how inferior it would be - your doing great. I’ll have to check out your other videos.

Thank you for the great video Dylan, I am just starting up so this has helped a lot. :)

I'm starting wood burning today for the first time ever! This helped :D

Thankyou Dylan - I enjoyed watching your video,you explained it carefully and I feel like I could give it a go now!
