Because you offered a solution with relatively "everyday" workshop tools to complete this job, I'm subscribing to your channel. Thank you for a great way around making such a tool, without having to purchase even more expensive tools and/or machinery 😉👍
Incredible! I am a amateur woodworker and have recently made some wood swings for my daughter and granddaughter. I wanted to engrave (or something) on the project and finally decided to purchase a wood branding iron. That is until I saw the prices! have a limited budget to work with, so, I decided to look on UA-cam and see if anyone had built a branding iron. An, that is how I found your video! I am really impressed! I am not sure that I can make one like yours, but I am going to give it a try! Thanks for sharing the video!
Very glad you liked it, even more glad that you'll be able to put your to good use. The process of making those is a bit tedious, noisy and messy, I'll make another version somewhen in the future, casting those. Which not only is going to be tedious and messy but will involve open flames and molten metal. So ... YAY!
It dawned on me that a CNC bit does not do much of anything else than what I did manually. I thought about making a fixed position stand for the dremel and move the workpiece underneath it, but I didn't have a decent clamp for the dremel. As to the effort: You're welcome, glad you liked it.
I'm really impressed👍😲👍I once had a go and it looked like my dog's had chewed it lol. You make it look sooooooooo simple and easy to make! 👍😆👍BRILLIANT video thanks for sharing👍😎👌
One of the perks of forcing myself to keep quiet while filming: No one can tell how much I was cursing, bitching and moaning internally. It was tedious, but well worth it though.
Love it! I've been looking for an approach w/o a CNC. This looks doable, but I guess it really depends on the logo you intend to manufacture. Anyhow, great job!
Agree that brass would work better for longevity, but is there a good reason to NOT use aluminum? I ask because I have a ton of cutoff pieces and was looking to do this exact same thing as soon as my logo is done. Aluminum will heat up much quicker, but probably not hold the heat as long as brass. And because it's a lot softer you have to make sure to take care of the brand, dropping it would easily damage it. Other than that, any reason to not use what I already have on hand?
Save a couple of steps; Get an old screw driver, cut off the end and put threading on that; pre-drill and tap the aluminum blank before you cut the logo. Just a thought 🤔

Thank you very much for the kind words and I am glad you liked the video.

This was a great video, I never thought about just drilling and dremeling the waste. Thanks for the effort!

Sometimes the easiest and cheapest way is the best...
Turned out pretty well, keep up the great work!

Nice work and great presentation of video with comedy touches.... I see a UA-camr in the making! Subscribed
Thank you for the kind words.
The power and usefulness of a good file can not be underestimated. I like your logo and the stamps look great! Cheers!
My respects, you are very determine and crafty ! Thanks for sharing, Stay Blessed! Wow.....
been looking to make a brand from aluminum, thanks for proving it can be done
I found a few folks on youtube happily dremeling away iron, steel and brass.
Have fun making yours.

Great video! Thanks for the idea!
Good job. I was able to make one that works on 12 volts

Anyhow, great job!
Brilliant tutorial! Thanks for sharing ;)
Thats really good thanks for sharing!!
Nice job!
Thank you.
Too Cool!! Instant subscribe!
Well done!
A lot of work but you did it!
You need a circuit machine, but its a great job.
One word, WOW! 👌👏🇬🇧
i love how you show your screw ups. it makes me fell less dumb
Using brass plate would be a better choice, but I like this :)
Thx.
I didn't have any brass stock on hand and neither had any of the metal shops. Didn't want to order anything, so I used what was at hand.

Where can I purchase an aluminum block like that
I bought mine in my local variant of home depot. I'd guess this would be a start. Metal yards might have something like this as well.
Smü ok thank you
Mcmaster.com Excellent company to get almost anything from.
YES WOW

Just a thought 🤔
Nice, thank you. I figured a few different ways to do it more nicely pretty much right after I was done. But that is always the case, methinks.
Veri good
Bravo
I did not know that uhu made epoxy!
👏👏👏
Hey man ,where did you buy those gloves??
Local hardware store.
I want for me
