Do you believe in the saying, "The best person to guide you is the one few steps ahead of you!"?While doing my Engineering, I realized this fact that just before the exam if you require minimal, to the point, useful and applicable information to pass the examination, your friend/colleague who has gone through the subject and appeared for the exam just last week is the best Go to Person.That person may not be the SME (Subject Matter Expert) like the professors teaching for years but is the best bet to solve your immediate problem.So are you a beginner in Pyrography or Wood Burning & looking for a friend and colleague for informal guidance? Your search for that colleague ends here. I sincerely want to take you through that first step and prepare you for your first Pyrography Project!Why Pyrography?Of all the crafts I have practiced, Pyrography is the most value for money. It gives me immense satisfaction and serves the purpose for which I practice the art on the weekends. (i.e., to unwind from my regular job)The best part is this art has got something for everyone.If you are a beginner, get a scrap wood and use your existing soldering pen to start the artwork. Later, you can shift to a proper burner. If you like calligraphy, you can burn letters. A friend of mine is a space enthusiast, and he is making space ships!With experience, you master the art of shading, which gives depth to the artwork. Drawing hair, fur, or skin of an animal takes time, but it is worthwhile to put the effort.What I love about this skill is that it makes one of the best presents for the loved ones. As the art ages with time, it leaves a memorable piece of history to your loved ones.About the BookIt is not a traditional book but an effort from your friend to present the experience and discussions while learning this art in the last few years. I have made many wood and leather burning projects over the years and interacted with fellow crafters. This book is the crux of all those learnings and experiences over the years.This book provides a minimalistic approach to the information required to start your first Pyrography project. It covers: Introduction to the art: The history and steps involvedTools: All about tools involved: Detailed instructions on using Wood Burner including different tipsDesigning, Tracing, and Shading: I must say the shading part only comes by practicing!Coloring, Polishing, and FinishingSafety Instructions: Very important and highlighted all through the book Step by Step instructions on 10 starter projects with picturesFrequently Asked Questions (All the ones I could remember and not covered in other chapters)Sample Designs: Mandala, Tiger, Dragon, and more.I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips which helped me.This book is for people who are in their first lap of Pyrography journey and want to have a holistic idea of processes, tools, and need help in their initial projects.I have included photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting.So, what are you waiting for?

Suppose, you have to appear for an exam next week, who would be the go-to person for seeking help and guidance? Option 1: A Subject Matter Expert (SME) who studying/teaching the subject for several years and often assumes while explaining that the basics are covered or looks it from their frame of reference.OrOption 2: Someone who also started from scratch as you have and passed the exam just last week. He/She knows the exact process, challenges, doubts, and roadblocks you may be facing and can think from your perspective.If your option is 2, you are in the right place. I am a Technology Consultant by profession, and started my leathercraft journey in the year 2014. I started by going through multiple YouTube videos, courses, Facebook groups, and finally completed my first project after four months. I was confused and was lost in the magnitude of information available online. I firmly believe that while starting, you need exact, necessary, minimalistic information to start your first project, pardon: Complete your first project!So I started writing this book to provide a minimalistic approach to information required to start your first leather project.

"Una cocina sin armario es como un cuerpo sin alma"Esto es lo que dijo un sabio ebanista cuando le pregunté qué significaba para él la ebanistería.He practicado todos los aspectos de la carpintería, como la ebanistería, el torneado de madera y la fabricación de muebles, además de la ebanistería, y debo decir que este arte ofrece la máxima posibilidad de influir en el aspecto general de la cocina o el baño y, finalmente, de la casa.Los armarios, para mí, son una extensión de su personalidad y una gran manera de expresarse.Cuando empecé a hacer trabajos en madera, busqué desesperadamente una guía sobre los procesos específicos y las herramientas exactas necesarias.El contenido que encontré en Internet era una sobrecarga total de información y no se presentaba de forma secuencial. Los libros se centraban en unos pocos procesos o daban por sentado que yo ya tenía la información necesaria. Además, muchos de los libros estaban muy anticuados.Hay dos formas de obtener información: aprender de expertos en la materia con años de experiencia, y la otra es adquirir conocimiento de personas que están sólo unos pasos por delante de ti en su viaje.Yo pertenezco a este último grupo. Llevo cinco años en esta afición y sigo aprendiendo de los expertos.Todavía recuerdo mis dudas iniciales y los primeros consejos que me ayudaron.Este libro es para aquellos que todavía están dando sus primeros pasos (0-3 años) en la artesanía de la madera y quieren hacerse una idea global de los procesos y herramientas necesarios.He incluido fotografías de proyectos realistas para principiantes, y explicaré los procesos y procedimientos operativos estándar asociados a ellos.A continuación, los temas que encontrarás en el interior:· Introducción a la ebanistería· Tipos de armarios, puertas y cajones· Herramientas utilizadas y mejores prácticas· Procesos y técnicas· 10 proyectos para principiantes· Recapitulación y consejos de seguridad· Conclusión y recursos gratuitos en línea En el último capítulo, he proporcionado un enlace a recursos gratuitos en línea para planificar tus próximos proyectos.Éxitos, ¡y empecemos el emocionante viaje!
