<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 34929, member: 54"]Am wondering if the box was made using a kit? If so the product is in somewhat the same category as "paint-by-the-numbers" paintings, and neither will ever be worth very much unless done by Adolph Hitler or some other infamous/famous person.</p><p><br /></p><p>My parents' second favorite gift for B'days and Xmasses was the woodburning set (their favorite was Coppercraft kit.) So I wound up with one of those. It came with a soldering-iron with woodburning tips, and 4x4" thin slabs pf plywood with white faces into which you were supposed to burn a design. Seem to recall design templates too. maybe they were printed on the wood slabs? I don't recall trying to be very artsy but I really liked the smell of the wood smoke, and found the hot iron would melt crayons and do other things I thought were fun at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
