    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!

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

      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 found a few folks on youtube happily dremeling away iron, steel and brass.
      Have fun making yours.

      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!

    Using brass plate would be a better choice, but I like this :)

    • @smu1129
      @smu1129  7 років тому +2

      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.

    • @spencerjw

      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?

    Where can I purchase an aluminum block like that

    • @smu1129
      @smu1129  7 років тому +1

      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.

    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 🤔

    • @smu1129
      @smu1129  5 років тому +1

      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.
