Branding my projects
For the last 15 years I've simply bought a basic stick on label that says Made by ............
Given the price of buying these from a local trophy shop I've decided to buy myself a branding iron to do the job but am after any suggestions.
I'd imagine there are some that are better than others and traps for new comers so any help is very welcome please???
Btw I don't sell my projects I donate them to family and close friends.
Cheers

G’day Kerry
Every maker deserves the credit for the items they make!
I had some help from an old graphic designer to refine my “logo”.
I got a Melbourne based company to make my “logo” for a hot stamp insert for a big soliding iron which I purchased separately.
I’ll have to chase up the details for you tomorrow.

I'm in the same boat as Pottz.
Bought one from Rockler, heat with a propane torch and brand. Just simple text or a standard design.
You can get fancier with self heated units but unless you are doing a bunch of stuff in series, not really worth the extra cost over the torch heated unit IMO.
As of the last few years I have been using my laser. Infinite design possibilities. Dr. John lases round wood "pucks" that he then attaches to projects, look very slick!
