Pyrography stage nearly finished (another three hours spent on it today)
Just the head and underside of tail to do. Then I will fit a pair of museum quality german made glass eyes. The eyes will be brown with a black pupil.
This is an ongoing project which can be followed in the Decoy Duck set. It is my first decorative decoy duck and will be a female mallard. She is carved in European Lime wood and will be painted in acrylic paints.

I am testing the craft training notes I have written for HFP.
These designs were done for Level One of Pyrography. I will be adding shading and paint later.
Salvo retoques de última hora (siempre quedan detalles que mejorar), queda muy poco para acabar este panel.

This is my home brew Lichtenberg Pyrography Machine.
The first thing I MUST say is that this is a very dangerous device. The voltages used in this device can KILL!!! I am not being over dramatic. This device is bloody DANGEROUS. I do not recommend that you make one.
OK, now that I've mentioned the necessary serious stuff, let's have a look at the device itself.
It's basically made up of a few basic parts.
First there is a microwave oven transformer which converts 240 volts AC to about 2,400 volts AC. That's the bit that can KILL.
The secondary high tension winding of the transformer is then attached to a couple of leads, which are in turn connected to some electrodes. The electrodes are the things that allow the machine to do its pyrographic magic.
A couple of enhancements - I'm running the unit through a VARIAC type device which allows me to control the burn effect.
Also, I've attached a couple of visual warning devices to tell me that the thing is on. A light which is connected to the primary winding. And a meter which is connected to the low voltage secondary via a bridge rectifier and resister. Using both of these is a type of redundancy system. But, if ever I need to touch the leads or the electrodes, I do unplug the unit first (not just turn off - UNPLUG!)
The fuse in the VARIAC is running at 3 amps while the fuse in the Lichtenberg Machine is 2amps. Hoping that the Lichtenberg Machine fuse blows before the VARIAC one does - which is generally what happens.
Lastly, I've put the thing in a box to keep the nasty electrical stuff that can kill away from me. You might also notice that the transformer body itself is also pretty well insulated. That's because it is also live!
The clear cover on the box is to let me see if there is any arcing or shorting happening.
The cables are nice thick high amperage ones - don't really need them on this device (as it is running a fairly low current) but they do look impressive! It also reminds me that there are nasty electrons in there waiting to jump out and attack any unsuspecting human that's silly enough to play with it.
Carving and pyrography stages finished now, and german glass eyes fitted. next and final stage...the painting.
This is my first decoy duck carving and will be painted in acrylics. (Please see my set 'decoy duck' to see the progress from the beginning)
