"Brand" Name :)

[knightyme]

I suspect many of you are already aware of this or even using one, so this is directed at those who don't.

 

As many of you know by now, I have a small custom plaque business that keeps me busy. When I first started the business, I looked for a way to "sign" my work, if you will, in an effort to capture follow-up orders. As such, I came real close to ordering a "rubber stamp" kit, to place my name on the rear of each plaque. However, I really wanted something more "rustic" in appearance and I found just what I was looking for at Rockler.

 

A branding iron for wood.

 

I brand each plaque (see image below) and follow-up orders have already manifested themselves! I love my branding iron!

I am not in business but I have a branding iron. The guys at work gave it to me when I retired. I don't use it on everything but I really like having one that is for sure.

[dgman]

THAT'S a nice brand there John!! Well done!

I purchased an attachment for my branding iron so that I can burn the year as well.  The attachment is such that the numbers may be altered each year (using a primitive form of typesetting).

 

Often, I not only brand my work, but I add other information, such as the name of the designer if the design is not mine.

 

I'm attaching an example.

Frank, that year attachment is a nice touch! If I may ask, where did you find that? Merry Christmas!!
