PURE BRASS – “pepe” Signature Branding Iron for my Wooden Toys

Pepe Brassbranding Teaser in

After the first wacky try to make a branding tool (HERE), i made me another tiny brass branding iron stamp for my wooden toys.

This time instead of using a common font, i did vectorize my signature and let the CNC mill do the work with a our smallest 0.3mm drill. Afterwards i made a brass mount with M2 screws for holding the stamp plate in position. The signature is approx 15mm long and i still have to get a feeling about long i have to press, till the signature is proper burned into the wood. But i’m pretty happy with my new tool and it works very good while clamped into a soldering iron.

Now all my new wooden stuff will get some hot mark on their butts for sure! Icon Biggrin in

I’m a huge fan of brass, it’s really easy to work with it and it’s perfect for my next small experiment: branding my wooden toy hordes!

I used the CNC milling cutter to get me some small brass stamps with my name engraved (first attempt was a miss, because i forgot to mirror inverted the letters…urgh Icon Biggrin in ). With a soldering iron and some patience with the sightly goatish PEARBLOCK guys, i got the result I’m looking for!
