Looks great. I think cutting it down thinner would make it easier to heat, so you don't have so much thermal mass to heat. You've given me inspiration to make my own! Thanks
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
I've been thinking about buying a branding iron... Not now! Handily i've got all the tools to make my own, and thanks to you, now have the necessary knowledge too. You just saved me $200 which makes you entirely awesome!
I have recently started crafting leather and I was thinking of a branding iron or stamp for my logo. My friend suggested making my own, I initially frowned upon this idea. However, after watching your video you have given me the confidence to try and make my own as I have all the tools except the tap & die set. Thank you so much for sharing your phenomenal skill. Keep up the great work. God Bless.
That's sweet! That huge piece of brass must take a long time to heat! Made one for myself in much the same way a few years back, but with a piece of copper about quarter the size.
That is so good thanks - I had been trying to think of how to build material up to make the mark - now I realise a touch of carbide to remove material is the way to go.
See I knew someone else would have already said it. If you're only getting one decent compression per heat, thinning the stock definitely wouldn't hurt lol
Yep. The specific energy is too high with such a large, dense iron. No need to remake it. Just have someone with a metal lathe shave down most of the excess.
You have to remember that, the smaller will lose heat faster, so you frequently need to heat it again to do a big batch of something. So I think this is good size
I have watched a ton of videos about metal work and a lot of times by the end I can tell those projects are just a little more than what my skill set could accomplish but this video is not one of those. Great job! You made it clear and easy to understand each step and I feel like this is something I can do.
Nice. Just starting to do a little metal work on my CNC. It's completely different than wood. I need to get a buffing wheel for my grinder. Looks great. Thanks for sharing.
I've made a couple brands from scratch for my local pool and a couple projects to help my son. I found that keeping the rotary tool stationary and instead moving the brand around the bit works surprisingly well (kind of a manual CNC). I can move the brand along a straight edge under the cutter for those nice straight lines. You can also make a quick curved jig out of 1/8" hardboard. Nice work.
Excellent job at carving with a Dremel. Once I bought my Foredom Flexshaft - I never went back to a dremel - being able to control spin speed with my foot control allows for much finer carving of metal details. Cool video!! FYI - you can etch brass and copper with PCB board etchant - might have been another interesting way to do the logo.
I wanted to make one of these until I saw the end of the video. I would definitely go "brand-crazy" if I had one of these! Great work and great video. (no music next time though)
Nice work. So that's what a Dremel is good for! I have one but haven't found much use for it - until now :D Thank you for showing at the start what will be made - so few video do that. Good editing, thanks :)
Now, I´m going to mark this an that. My car, my dog, my wife...hahaha very cool. P.S. I´m dying to have a workshop like yours, have everything I would like to have. Amazing job.
That's a really nice brand that you made , if you made it only 1/2'' thick it wont take so long to heat up. Right now it's a giant heat sink . Not hating on this its a thing of art and beautiful !
Should have cut the iron down to 1/2 an inch then threaded on your handle. It might have heated in 90 seconds and had lots of gas to mark a nice brand. I'm going to make one this weekend because of your cool vid. Thanks!👍
Some things you could have done: Instead of glueing your logo in the cylinder you could have used a mirrored image of it printed with a laser printer in magazine paper (with glossy finish) and transfer it with a clothes iron (more or less like you'd do with a PCB), so you don't have to worry about losing pieces of paper. Other thing you can do is a thiner cylinder (like a 1/4 inch or so). Is easier to heat a "thin" piece of metal instead of a huge chunk. In the end, the only thing that matters is having enough material to make the thread :)
+Jeronimo M yeah the bigger piece definitely takes a while to heat. Things to consider for next time. Though I was happy with the bell shape of it. Cheers
OK, the ad before I saw this was for a FormLabs 3D printer. A great combination of old and new would be to do a computer design of a logo, print it in some kind of plastic that will burn out cleanly, then invest and cast that in metal. Hmmmmmmm. I might just do exactly that someday.
Cool video! I need to think about making myself one of these. Couple of things: first, what was the point of heating the threaded rod when mounting it to the handle? Secondly, I'd use caution heating up threaded rod. the zinc coating on those suckers produces toxic fumes when heated hot enough. All in all, excellent craftsmanship!
My nana is Melody Wilson. I've been messing around with ideas for my logo for a few months. I came up with this sleek idea a while back. What if I draw 3 vertical lines, a small v at the top of the first two and the opposite between the 2nd and 3rd. MW woodworking. Maybe put a circle around it? I love it! Then I stumble across your channel!😢😂 It's been done. I thought I was so original. Hey, great minds think alike I guess!
There is something wholesome and totally satisfying, to see true craftsmanship and in seeing something made from scratch. Thank you. Do you made-to-order on etsy or sell from your website? If so, could you post the link?
Looks great. I think cutting it down thinner would make it easier to heat, so you don't have so much thermal mass to heat. You've given me inspiration to make my own! Thanks
Same thought

Will Matthew's. You are the definition of badass/kickass. You unviel the Secret to making a stamp. This is way cool.

8:07 - I thought it was the fire alarm at first. Great video. Great tool to brand your creations!
That's sweet! That huge piece of brass must take a long time to heat!

That is so good thanks - I had been trying to think of how to build material up to make the mark - now I realise a touch of carbide to remove material is the way to go.
Will Matthews you could have made the block smaller, if it was smaller it heated faster. You have to spend a lot of energy to heat it.
It will stay hot longer... but still would probably be a good improvement.
See I knew someone else would have already said it. If you're only getting one decent compression per heat, thinning the stock definitely wouldn't hurt lol
Yep. The specific energy is too high with such a large, dense iron. No need to remake it. Just have someone with a metal lathe shave down most of the excess.
Just cut off the body. 1/2 inch should be plenty of branding iron.
You have to remember that, the smaller will lose heat faster, so you frequently need to heat it again to do a big batch of something. So I think this is good size
Love the design. Your initials really lend themselves to the shape/style, it looks really cool!
+美しい川 thanks for the feedback!

Great job! You made it clear and easy to understand each step and I feel like this is something I can do.
+Britt Fisher thanks for watching! It's definitely accessible to regular folk! Give it a go :)
Great video! Very clear and concise, step by step instructions.
Nice. Just starting to do a little metal work on my CNC. It's completely different than wood.
I need to get a buffing wheel for my grinder.
Looks great.
Thanks for sharing.
Loved the music that went with it. Really made it that much better. Great video!
Burned in handle, old school and wonderful to see!
Nice work man. Loved the fact that it was 100% handmade without using a CNC. My logo would have been a pain in the ass to manually carve out haha.
+Oakmoon Life // Leathercrafting & more thanks heaps. Yeah it's challenging doing it by hand, but all the more special and unique!
"A
If it's the same as your profile picture i'm gonna agree with you for 100% on that
You could make a negative version of yours which would be pretty easy. :)
Good idea. Love the use of the Dremel.
Nice work. Enjoyed the video. That'll save me a ton of money and be fun too.
Nice looking branding iron.
Really appreciate the time lapse intro. Wish more videos did this.
This reminds me so much of myself it's not even funny! Just trial and error untill you get it done! Who needs fancy tools!? 👍😊
+Griffin Benchmark thanks for the feedback mate! You can do plenty without fancy tools that's for sure!
Nice work! Thorough. I need that belt sander. Not that id use it much..its just cool.
Very very very good!!!!!!!!
Well done! Skill, Tools, Presentation and Music in equal proportions..❣😊
Very good! Lot of work! Thank you.

Or you could move the rotary tool itself, like normal human, have more conrol and detail.
Thanks for sharing, Will. Really good stuff.
Great video I hope your channel takes off so that people get to see more great videos like this one.
+Tommy Lein thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!
lol at the smoke alarm at the end. amazing job dude.
Eric W conical article screenprinding the
Absolutely fabulous! I would agree with some other comments to make the body thinner for quicker heating.
Great job with the branding iron! I love how simple your logo is! I plan to make one soon!
Excellent job at carving with a Dremel.

Frederick Miller g
necessary. I can do it too. Thanks for sharing. greetings from Turkey🤝👋
Thanks for the vid. New and up an comming Chippy myself need the helps. And great way to get the brand seen
I wanted to make one of these until I saw the end of the video. I would definitely go "brand-crazy" if I had one of these!
Great work and great video. (no music next time though)
Nice work. So that's what a Dremel is good for! I have one but haven't found much use for it - until now :D Thank you for showing at the start what will be made - so few video do that. Good editing, thanks :)
+Tony Y no problems, thanks for watching!
Wooooooooow, this is a Man´s World; you are the Man. Amazing work, many thanks for share.
so cool!!!! will have to make me one soon!!! working on my makers mark now
Haha, when I saw the coil I figured it would be induction heated or something. Nice brand!
Awesome build....cheers
Awesome work! i would put an ironsight on, so you always get the right angle
Entertaining video and nice tool to pass on to your offspring.great job!!!
Really awesome build, looking forward to seeing more.
Now, I´m going to mark this an that. My car, my dog, my wife...hahaha very cool.
P.S. I´m dying to have a workshop like yours, have everything I would like to have.
Amazing job.
Don’t forget, marking all of your barbecued meats
Great job on the iron and well done with the video editing!
+Mike Kim thanks!
That's a really nice brand that you made , if you made it only 1/2'' thick it wont take so long to heat up. Right now it's a giant heat sink . Not hating on this its a thing of art and beautiful !
I so wanted that fastgrip to set and stick your screwdriver to the block lol
Idk why, but this video inspired me to finally design my own logo, and I just did.... Odd that I didn't come up with it sooner
i love your videos!
Bro you kill it
You definately have to be here in Aus
This is awesome! Thanks for the inspiration
Super cool!!
Awesome video. Rad to see a small UA-camr getting alot of success for quality entertaining content.
+Walker Mayer thanks for your feedback! Appreciate you taking the time!
very cool video and music too..
The copper added is a nice little touch that should act as a heatsink and draw heat away from the upper part of the rod. Gj.
Nice work...good look
Gorgeous! Very impressive.
Cut that billet into about 1/2" plugs and you can make about 5 of these! :) Thanks for sharing. Nice work.
très bon boulot, chapeau, vous avez pas mal de matos aussi, et savoir faire !
My man! Great job!
Beautiful job! :3
very nice -congratulations
Should have cut the iron down to 1/2 an inch then threaded on your handle. It might have heated in 90 seconds and had lots of gas to mark a nice brand. I'm going to make one this weekend because of your cool vid. Thanks!👍
Wow!!!!! You deserve waaaaaay more subs. The filming is great as well !
Outstanding!
Great work! Now I want one too :')
+Black Beard Projects thanks mate, appreciate the feedback!
I have thought about making this myself earlier but i purchased two set for under $50 and saved me 10+ hours...
Nicely done! What’s the name of the book you referenced to when you drilled and tapped that hole?
excellent video,bra!! less metal does indeed heat faster, nice ;-)
Wow, so intelligent and smart lol. Thanks!
Very good in brass . Easier to make . I’m doing one for me . Regards ,Beni from Brazil.
Yeah that's a big chunk to heat up. Looks great though 👌👌👌
Fantastic!!!
Great craftsmanship, just watched all of your videos. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Aloha!
+kbbjedi thanks!
Very cool!
Nice machining bro
Oh i need to make one of those
This is amazing! Your videos have such a high quality to them. I hope in the future that you become a huge channel!
Thanks Kevin for the kinds words! It really helps to get that feedback to know I'm on the right path of producing decent quality videos :) cheers!
The only problem with one of these in my case is every wooden surface in my shop would be covered in brands. Nice job!
Great job!

+Jeronimo M yeah the bigger piece definitely takes a while to heat. Things to consider for next time. Though I was happy with the bell shape of it. Cheers
love the bell shape and the copper wire that also acts as a heatsink
Copper tubing would make just as good a heat sink and be much easier to make.
totally gonna try that

Great video sir
great job!!!
yay i can now brand a man to my cult
Love the Soundtrack!
thanks for the detailed instruction. see you rudolf
There is something wholesome and totally satisfying, to see true craftsmanship and in seeing something made from scratch. Thank you. Do you made-to-order on etsy or sell from your website? If so, could you post the link?
you make realy nnice work !!!!
Thank you!
Good job! :)
Very impressive!
Woooooo I know it's farther than it looks but let's keep that flame away from the flammable can at 5:54. :) Thanks for sharing your process.
Great shirt and an even better video 👍 what type of ruler is that, looks really handy
Clever, I love it! Next project...a proper forge?
+Douglas Quaid watch my next video after this one. I think it does the job well :)
This is, by far, the coolest shit I've ever seen😵😎thanks so much for sharing!!!
+JPA thanks for watching and giving feedback!
I think your heating problem is because of how big that chunk of metal is. I do love the simplicity though. Good Job!
