Branding Iron

[Wildthings]

I think I need one. Probably electric. Anyone have any suggestions where, who, why and what. Mods move this where it should go if not here

I will be following with interest. I've almost pulled the trigger a couple of times on a branding Iron, seems great for flat work, but I do that much anymore... so I'm still hand signing everything with my woodburner...

I got mine from a guy in the Ukraine I think. It works great. Maybe @Bean_counter remembers his name.

Ive got one that i ordered from rockler or woodcraft, but that was before i got the lathe. Its too big for most turned items. I know ive seen much smaller ones that others have for turned items.

I think @TXMoon had one made for turning a little while back.

The first one I had came from Rockler, I don't recommend getting one of those.

@Wildthings yeah there is a guy in the Ukraine that does good work. He is on Etsy let me see if I can find his info.

I did a search on here and found your conversation with @TXMoon and the link he provided HERE Hoping he will follow up with a review of it

Barry this is who I got mine from. It wasn’t cheap but it is well made and no issues with it. Had it for probably 4 years

Mine too, good guy to deal with.

I had one made and, to make a long story short, I shelved it in lieu of one of those mini laser etchers. The laser (logo on right) cuts a cleaner, more professional looking logo. And it's easy to make different logos with the type of wood used. You can also scale your logo from 2" sq down if you need a smaller logo.

That looks extremely clean!!

Have you tried it on a variety of woods, or any other materials?

Man it is amazing the technology out there now, looks like a neat and versatile solution, unfortunately, tinkering with tech gadgets make me break out in hives lol....
