Nice build. I've been meaning to make a brand, but was waiting until I befriended the machinists at work more. Now I will just do it on my own at home. Thanks for sharing.
Just about the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. As somebody who has fabricated actual branding irons for cattle ranches, that gave me a good laugh. Thanks!
What's with the gatekeeping? As a maker who marks his products with punches and brands, what he's made here is more than exceptional. And just to let you know, most people don't see you as a better person because of your experience in fabricating tools for the inhumane treatment of livestock. As a matter of fact, I'd wager a guess that not only are you lesser for it, you are pretty miffed that some guy on the internet is getting actual attention for a branding iron he made for his own personal wood branding while you're out here getting only negative attention for your J.O.B job making scrap that will never tell anyone who actually made the tool. Lighten up and stop acting like your way of doing things is best. Maybe instead you can be an open and encouraging person who makes an effort to contribute to society. Have a nice week. I hope you stay well. 😊
thanks so much for showing this. i have been wanting one for a while but did not want to spend anywhere from 80 to 150 bucks for one. i will definitely be making one.
I was first considering electro-etching, but i think getting enough depth on the etch without undercutting the shapes could be a problem. So low tech was my only option.
Your channel is amazing man, I can't wait until you grow bigger and bigger, your production value is incredibly high and you always make quality products. Keep up the great work.
I can't really say if my channel will ever grow that big, time will tell. I'm just totally amazed and grateful for all the subscribers and feedback i have already got. Thanks!
Damn, very impressive! It suits you well! Now try making one three times smaller! It's much harder ;) Really love the high quality burn mark with smooth lines. Great job!
I was looking at the handle and thinking that would have been a great turning job! :) I make all my tool handles now that I have a mini lathe. Maybe we can work something out? ! :) Specially if you live in MN. Love the Logo
Thanks for showing us that, I need a channel logo and a makers mark too, but I have no idea how it should look like... Anyway, great video, ceep up the good work!
I've watched a lot of videos on making a makers mark stamp. This one is the absolute best for me to create with the tools I have available, and quality of the stamp is incredible! Great video in every respect! What kind of steel should I buy?
As a safety note - you should never point a metal piece downward on a sanding belt or grinder. If you need to sand/grind an edge do so with the piece pointing up. The close tool rest as shown here is perfect. But if the part gets caught it will pull your hand into the machine so fast you can not get away from it.
Yes. I have a personal rule: anything thinner than 5 mm I don't grind it the way I did here (learned that the most effective way).Thinner sheet metal easily gets jammed between the tool rest and the wheel.
Nice vid! Your logo is so simple though I wonder if branding is the best way to apply your mark to things? A small spray paint stencil for example might actually achieve a cleaner result? Still, thanks for the vid!
Hi, i am loving your work, never knew you existed as there are so many talented guys out there like yourself :) Would it be possible to make me one of these Branding Iron's with l a logo ? I appreciate you are a busy man but would really appreciate a quick response if you can, the iron handle do not need to be as fancy as yours as this takes time,Thanks... ps keep up the good work and loving the way you use a chisel to craft the shape, excellent !
Nice work. But maybe one suggestion for improvement: the handle shouldn't be conical at all. The forward end should be thicker to avoid slipping and hurting at the hot iron.
Yes that would be a safer choice. I have burnt my hands a number of times blacksmithing and find it gets easier to avoid with time. Thanks for commenting!
If the logo has round shapes i would probably use some shape of carbide cutter for the Dremel tool. I find it harder though, as the carbide tip tends to snag the material and pull itself out of the cut.
It's great that you show how to make this with tools that people actually have!! I was expecting a lathe to make the handle
It'd be easy enough to throw the handle on a drill press or even a drill and rasp it down. Make shift lathe is easy.
Because we all have welding equipment??
I like the ease you displayed making this with minimal tools.
Thank you. Technically it really wasn't that hard, only required patience.
that's some mighty fine dremel work. well done..awesome build!
Nice build. I've been meaning to make a brand, but was waiting until I befriended the machinists at work more. Now I will just do it on my own at home. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome! Good luck on making your branding iron.
Thank you! I’ve often wondered how I should make my own brand tool. Now I know! Awesome video!
Perfect man finally found a good one that's plausible! thank you

I need to learn how to make my chisels that sharp.......GREAT build you did there.
I had been wondering how to go about that. Thanks so much for that demo - gives me a few ideas on how to make something similar. Cheers.
Yes this channel is now my favorite. Taking the spot of Diresta channels. Nice, practical videos, Finn. Thanks.
Glad to hear you like the videos. The name Finn(Crafted) refers to the fact that i'm from Finland.
thanks so much for showing this. i have been wanting one for a while but did not want to spend anywhere from 80 to 150 bucks for one. i will definitely be making one.
Glad if it helps someone out!
I'm digging your channel, nice work! Adding a makers mark to my list of to do projects thanks to this video!
Glad to hear that, it's a fun way to mark your projects!
This is awesome. Can't wait to try it on my own!
Go ahead, I was surprised as it wasn't really that laboursome.
Great Video! Very Nice Craftsmanship! I really dig the videography as well! I vote yes on the music in background! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
Thank you for commenting Gus!
I think the music suites the video it great to have man don't change it cheers amazing works man really nice job
Thank you for the support. It sometimes gets boring editing only video. Adding music and pacing that to the video is a nice challenge.
Excellent work with explaining
That's nice!! I like both the tool and your logo :D
A tip: you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Messiah Ben Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
Very nice, low tech technique. Been thinking about making an iron myself. Thanks.
I was first considering electro-etching, but i think getting enough depth on the etch without undercutting the shapes could be a problem. So low tech was my only option.
Liked using steel for this & using a Dremel. Gives me ideas. Thx!
Great idea/method and well presented.
Your channel is amazing man, I can't wait until you grow bigger and bigger, your production value is incredibly high and you always make quality products. Keep up the great work.
I can't really say if my channel will ever grow that big, time will tell. I'm just totally amazed and grateful for all the subscribers and feedback i have already got. Thanks!
I also liked the music and good work on the brand
Real fine work, you did a real fine job
Thanks!
Cool project. Might try making one for myself. Thank you for sharing. GW
Thanks for watching! Hope it works for you too.
This whole time, I thought I was watching jimmy diresta, and trying to work out what the letters were. Nice branding iron by the way, pleasant video.
Fair play, that came out very well indeed. Good work [goes away to try and simplify his own logo]
that brand looks pretty clean, cool vid.
Very very very excellent
I'll be making one of these! Thanks.
That's really cool! I also like the video style!
Thank you!
HolzwurmTom no... It's very, very hot!
One of those moments in which i'm thinking "Well, a CNC would be helpful...".
Turned out awsome though.
Great segment. Thanks.
Great video. Thanks for sharing .
Very well done, congrats.
Really nice work! Well done...
turned out really cool
beautiful results
Nicely done!
Very Very Nice 👍
That's fabulous.
Very good my friend
Beni from Brazil
Awesome job my friend!
Great job!
fantastic craftsmanship. I genuinely thought you used a CNC during the intro. Dremel and an exacto never crossed my mind.
thanks for the inspiration it was an awesome idea great video
awesome make!
This is amazing work love your videos
Muuuuuuuuy bueno congratulations..!!!
Damn, very impressive! It suits you well! Now try making one three times smaller! It's much harder ;) Really love the high quality burn mark with smooth lines. Great job!
Thanks! It will need to be much smaller when i make my hot punch for punching into steel (not looking forward to that) :D
Great work!
Well done, may have to do something similar. Thanks!
Excelente aporte mi hermano...
Very cool. Nice 'n heavy duty. I can imagine buying a cheap angle grinder - but welding...hmm, bit beyond my workshop/experience/ambitions.
Could also be drilled and threaded onto a shaft.
Nice work!
I love it man
Cool process!
very cool man!
Just checking out you stuff for the first time . Nice job on that . Going to sub you.
Welcome to the channel!
手際が良くてわかりやすい動画です。このような設備はありませんが、参考にしたいと思います。
Great video!
I was looking at the handle and thinking that would have been a great turning job! :) I make all my tool handles now that I have a mini lathe. Maybe we can work something out? ! :) Specially if you live in MN. Love the Logo
I live in Finland, but thanks for the offer :) I would like to have a lathe some day.
Thanks for showing us that, I need a channel logo and a makers mark too, but I have no idea how it should look like...
Anyway, great video, ceep up the good work!
Hope you find a logo you like. I too had a hard time with this.
Very nice!! I actually made a wood branding tool out of an old screwdriver.
Nice idea, no need for a handle.
I'd love o have you stop bay and check it out. btw I subscribed! I hope I can earn yours too. :)
Gracias por su valioso video
love it great video
i did not know it was that simple to make
All depends on the logo.
Great idea! Thanks.
Nice job on the iron! Your video filmography (i guess that's a word) is excellent too. I subscribed : )
Thank you for the support and welcome to the channel :)
I really love this!Thanks
thumbs up...good woork!!!
Cool video
nice idea

Awesome video dude, Thanks! Should be really useful, I'm keen to make my own. Kiitos
Thank you. I'm happy with it, works fine. Making it this way really makes one think about simplistic logo design.
Indeed, I'm re-designing mine at the moment. I'll be sure to keep it in mind.
I need one of this.
Todella siistiä. haluaisin itsekkin tehdä tuollaisen, mutta en ole vielä keksinyt kätevää tapaa sen valmistamiseen.
Kiitos. Oli kyllä pähkäilemistä logon kanssa jotta olisi jotenkin työstettävissä eri materiaaleihin.
wow, ellecent video, thanks for sharing
That chisel work was sexy.... :]
If it was me I would be tempted to touch that little turning wheel at 1:42 to see how fast it is going
Nice vid!
Your logo is so simple though I wonder if branding is the best way to apply your mark to things? A small spray paint stencil for example might actually achieve a cleaner result? Still, thanks for the vid!
Muy bueno, felicitaciones
Welding can warp the metal of that plate so you're better off welding it first, then cutting your design and smoothing out the surface as a last step.
nice!, i really need to make one again. too bad i used a harder logo to reproduce :D
But how did you mark your maker's marker?
Hi, i am loving your work, never knew you existed as there are so many talented guys out there like yourself :) Would it be possible to make me one of these Branding Iron's with l a logo ?

Have you tried etching the logo out with dc power?
Think it would work?
Use a big iron soldering and change the thick iron letter- bit by copper one
I might have to try that at some point. Thanks.
I guess you would have to have a logo with straight lines to be able to do this? Thanks for sharing the process, as always.
If the logo has round shapes i would probably use some shape of carbide cutter for the Dremel tool. I find it harder though, as the carbide tip tends to snag the material and pull itself out of the cut.
rneustel it's a lil harder but doable
+FinnCrafted That makes sense. I need to get a Dremel. There's so much you can do with one.
+Dank Memer Thanks
Is this only for wood?
What can i use for concrete pots?😘😘
Genius
parabéns. trabalho excelente
отличная идея! только без дремеля сложно повторить )))
Nice.
"Bravo"... "WOW"....
Show de talento parabéns
Thanks !!
Brand your kids too :) "Your honor I made those kids!!! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO MARK THEM!!!"
