We all know the importance of branding your work. Just as every artist signs their art, we woodworkers should also proudly claim our work, and what better way than with a branding iron!
In this episode, Morgan cut a branding iron out of solid brass on his Elite Series Woodworker. With the right bits and toolpath settings, you can make one too. Use your own logo and follow along to see how easy it is to create a branding iron of your very own!
Cut files with pre-programmed toolpaths for both Vcarve and Carveco are available for FREE here on the user forum. Also included are Vectors in DXF and SVG format, as well as toolpathing instructions for anyone using other software.
Download the files and make your mark in style!
