I popped into Lidl whilst out this afternoon - I like to see if there's anything I can use for craft. I bought a woodburning tool for £8.99 - it was too good a bargain, for me anyway especially as I'd been wanting something like this. It says it's for use on leather, wood and cork; but some manufacturers don't know us crafters LOL. I've used it here on Grungeboard, but also tried it on wood, cotton fabric, paper and card; it works on them all. If you get one but have never used one before and maybe try cutting out stencils from plastic milk bottles for example - I only mention the milk bottles as a way of recycling ;-) you can clean it with steel wool. Obviously being cheap it may not be as robust as a more expensive one but I think I'll get my money's worth out of it.

Edited The bottom pic shows the fancy tips stamped onto Grungeboard, as you can see there are 7 of them and there are 7 writing/drawing tips

A very lovely new toy it is too :0)
OMGosh! Did you design those stencils? I am in total awe. I bought one awhile back, but it doesn't have all the fancy attachments yours has. I intend to use it to burn synthetic fabric, like old polyester scarves and such. I take it the stand came with it? If so, that's a great buy.
I was correcting the photo problem about the same time you were at my blog. They are all now showing. Blogger must be mad at me for taxing it yesterday and Wednesday.
What a useful toy and how about that Lidl must go and have a look.

Hey dear, I got your message from my blog, but I can't access my e-mail account that you are sending to. I have my alternate e-mail address now posted in my profile. Sorry I didn't write to let you know sooner. I'll be on the lookout for it. And thanks in advance.
oooo burny,burny. I have a soldering iron for burning fabric, It works great if you free machine onto several coloured layers of sheer fabric and then burn thru various layers to reveal the colours beneath.x
