I just had a custom branding iron head made and like how it turned out. Before this I had wooden discs laser engraved that I router into bigger projects.
Do any of you use branding irons to sign your work?

I've used an electric branding iron for several years now. But like everything else, I'm thinking about getting some laser-engraved discs for future projects. I'm never completely satisfied.

I use a branding iron, then drill a 3/4" hole about 1/16" deep, and insert a penny to denote the year.
