I had a wood burning kit when I was a kid. Yes, I made a blister or two on my fingers, and then I learned how to not get burned. My father had a kit to pour lead toy soldiers when he was a kid in the '20s. Imagine how that would go over today. I have a 1950 Gravely walk-behind tractor. You have to be careful with that thing, because there is no dead-man, and if you get it in reverse and accidentally back yourself into a tree, it'll pin you there, half crushing your legs while you try to remember how to get it into neutral. That's part of its charm though.
