	I want to have a Branding iron made up to use for the woodwork in the other modifications thread. HERE: www.retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=othrmod&action=display&thread=115998 I suspect there will be an answer or two from the general group here. Ideally it will be brass, copper or steel and be able to be fitted to an oldfashioned soldering iron (the heavy duty ones) It could also be heated with a gas flame..... and then used on the piece to be branded. Does anyone here work in a shop/business that could take a basic design and then laser cut it into a 35mm or1 inch steel/brass rod ? If you do not do it, do you know someone who does, and what sort of cost it will be? Thanks.

	Rian, followed your link and like what you're doing. I can't help with the branding iron, but good luck and I'm sure somebody will be along who can... ;D

I went back to Google, and found that with rewording my search to include branding iron, I got the answers. www.equibrand.co.uk/commercial/branding_FAQs.html Now just need a decent design that will brand well, and get it made up if the price is sensible. Alternately one can have a rubber stamp made up and use indellible ink and hope it does not run into the wood grai too badly.

	Nice work there... good luck with it. I got a wood lathe from Freecycle, the boy was interested, but it was corroded beyond saving. Anyways. I reckon if you got a design cut in 8 or 10mm steel, you could weld a stud (or chopped bolt) on the back. Then use that to mount on a steel rod, make a wood handle for it. Could drill & tap the rod end on, or in the side of it, 'hatchet' style. I use s/s bolts for this sort of thing, they weld nicer than plated ones. There's been a few posts with names of laser cutters on the MIG forum, these among others- www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=21116&highlight=laser+cutting www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=23628&highlight=laser+cutting edit - I mention cut from plate because profiles are bread & butter for laser cutters. And the mounting thing lets you change it if you ever wanted.
