Can anyone recommend me a good wood burning kit and maybe any tips on how to start getting decent at wood burning?
lady carrying an instrument stops a NYC cop and asks, ''how can i get to Juliards?''
cops answers, ''lots of practice!''

Protip: that's just a soldering iron.

So can I just buy a decent soldering iron and get two birds with one stone?

No, soldering irons and soldering iron style burners are not good for wood burning. Their temperature swings a lot between burns, they can't maintain their heat, or they get too hot when you leave them sitting (because if you're buying a soldering iron type you're buying a piece of shit so they don't put temperature regulation that's common in soldering irons now)
call it Pyrography when you google, and you want a pen and power station.

You use the power supply for shade control and simple lettering doesn't need anything but one color, black.

PSU, nichrome wire, mica, router speed control, momentary switch. It shouldn't be all that difficult.

>Soldering irons are no good because if you buy a soldering iron you'll buy a shitty one
What kind of fucking logic is that?

Typical /diy/ logic. Projecting the worst onto the person to drag them down into the "can't do anything" level they happen to be on. The excuse is, "buy a $50,000 tool or go home because you shouldn't touch anything DIY with anything less".
