Perhaps create a flat on the top or bottom of your brand aligned with the logo. That way it would be easier to line up the brand with whatever item you’re branding
Chris Daigle personally I find a flat easier to align with something unless you have a mark on both sides of the brand and a visible line on the work to line it up with. Remember, the center of the brand is not positively located so it’s easy to have the mark on center of your work but have the center of the brand off-axis still leaving you with a tilted branding.
ive always loved your work. no annoying music, no gimmicks - just tools, skills, passion, and the sounds of the workshop! keep up the great work and i will keep watching.
I admire how you always take the time to fine finish your work. It is very satisfying watching the process and I bet it is even greater pleasure using the tools you create. Thanks for sharing.
Very skilled craftsmanship....but the part I like best is that you provide your son with a hands-on learning experience. That is worth everything. Best wishes.
I have binge watched almost all of your videos, all are spectacular! As an artisan myself I enjoyed a different take on adhering the toner to the brass, never seen that one before. I use acetone and a cotton swab to transfer the toner on all of my bone, antler, and metal carvings, works very well also. Thank you for sharing all of your skills with us!
Very nicely done if you have a good hand with a Dremel tool! For those of us who suck with that tool, there's an alternative, but you use mild steel instead of brass, and it helps if you have access to a stencil maker - the kind that can cut stick-on vinyl sheets. Disclaimer: this is not my original idea, there are plenty of YT tutorials! Create the logo with whatever graphics editor you prefer, then transfer the image to the stencil maker program to make a stencil out of it. Create the stencil using stick-on vinyl, and transfer that to a square (or disk) of cleaned mild steel at least 1/8" thick. Suspend the steel in a bath of copper sulfate and table salt (100 g, or 1/2 cup, each in 1000 ml warm water) and leave for a half hour or more, depending on how deeply you want the steel etched. It helps to have an aquarium airstone and air pump, or a magnetic stirrer plate, to circulate the solution. I've found with a stirrer at room temperature, three to four hours is enough for a brand. Also, tape up the back and edges of the steel with something like duct tape to keep those surfaces from being etched. Just be careful if your stencil has very narrow parts, as the steel can be etched away from the sides inward underneath the stencil. I've created several satisfactory brands with this method, and the results were much neater than I could achieve with a Dremel 😊
I love how there is a reason behind everything you make... you make something to make something to use for something else and at the end it all makes sense...
Just be sure to remind your son that, Pride in your own workmanship, not arrogance of your ability, is what will set him apart from people who may have more talent. Keep doing what your doing TA
It's common practice for home made printed circuit boards - you print a mirror image on paper and use a clothes iron to re-fuse it on the copper clad circuit board. After removing the paper, you place it in a corrosive bath (ferric chloride or a mix of hydrochloric acid and oxygen peroxide) and eat away the unwanted copper, leaving you with the printed circuit. This can also be used for artistic engraving. In this case, it was possible to use a salt water solution and a battery charger to erode electrochemically part of the excess brass, making the hand engraving a bit easier.
@@jeffreycoulter4095 Your suggestion is a bit tempting. However, I recently changed home and I have not the shop installed (most things are still packed). You can search TH-cam for DIY PCB - there are a lot of videos, but many are made in a very messy way, even if using the right methods. I recently found one that is a bit more proper and uses acetone instead of heat, to transfer the tone (never tried it that way, but the procedure is reasonable - I also used supermarket leaflets, before I started using the backing of self-sticking films): th-cam.com/video/cVhSCEPINpM/w-d-xo.html In the meantime, I'll see what I can do on my side - I'll post it here, when I get something. Hope this helps :-)
It's well known you've had a burning desire to do this.☺ I made mine from a $2 thrift store 100 watt electric soldering iron with a generous hunk of copper as a tip, I carved directly into that, worked out very well for me.
I love watching metal turning because of how precise and well made of a tool a metal lathe is. But when I see a wood lathe it just looks so much more fluid and artistic compared the the more surgical metal one - almost like molding clay. Thank you and keep up the great videos, friend.
Nice job Torbjörn! One tip that may not have been mentioned you can also polish your handle with the wood shavings from making the handle. I liked tour toner transfer idea. I have used this in the past for many things. Lettering, PCB manufacturing even symbols and instructions for machine plates. It works quite well. A protective layer of clear coat helps!
Far more than a blacksmith, Sir. So enjoyable & relaxing. Thank you. Nearly 300 dislikes ?????????????. What's not like other than some people are just dissatisfied with their life & inabilities & can't appreciate someone who has skills they don't .
Горячий штамп, конечно, красив, как и шило. Но больше всего меня умилил вид мальчугана лет 10 у станка и отец, стоящий за его спиной и контролирующий процесс точения. Желаю семье автора видео крепкого здоровья и долгих лет жизни!
One of the biggest mistake I ever made.......not teaching shop basics to my kids at an early age. PLEASE, you young guys (and gals) follow suit here and get your kids involved, it will make a difference in their lives. Thanks for video and life lesson for others young man. 👍🏼
A new video from Thunder Bear, life is good. Enjoyed it immensely! Nice to see little Bear working with you. Thank you for sharing this with us. Greetings from Alabama, USA. Wishing all here a good evening.
It look like Thunder Cub really enjoys learning the skills that Papa Bear has to offer. Even my wife loves watching your videos, Herr Åhman, which says a lot. Beautiful result, as always.
Good Morning Torbjörn! Well done, I whish my initials would make up a cool logo like your's. What made me subscribe immediately was the fact that you teach your son this craftsmanship. Remembers me of the time, when I learned these from my father back in the early 70ies. Will check out your other videos over christmas. Take care, stay safe God Jul Andreas
In the near future I am going to high school. I will focus on the specialization of Art smithery. Thanks to your videos I learn and prepare for what awaits me.
A lovely tool. I have been toying with the idea of a branding iron for a while. Now I know how. Love the way you included your son(?) in the work. He is a lucky lad.
I was expecting you to create a full set of gravers to do the carving. An amazing job as always, both with the item you make and the video. Thanks for the amazing content Torbjorn.
I've just got into your site and subscribed. Very interesting indeed. I don't know if anybody has mentioned, but the flat on your handle, also helps prevent the tool rolling off the bench.
For that you can buy a $170 3d printer and print one. I did a little plate with my daughters name sunk and reversed, and she can emboss her name onto paper.
Certainly, anything to be stamped / printed (like a signature will need to be prepared in reverse before carving out). This will be an added challenge. For the uninitiated, Dremel type equipment revs will skid off metal surface unless as it requires a level of competence in controlling it, as it slips off surface. All in all, it is a fun process.
Hey, so, tip from the jewelry world if you haven’t heard it yet. Acetone will get the same results. So, you get that face rough like you did, put the paper with toner like you placed it, but then dampen the paper with as it one from a rag or something. Not too wet. It’s a technique that takes a little practice to do. Same for getting the toner off, just a rag with acetone. I would have acid etched the design from there, but I do that on quite a few things, so I have ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid around anyway.
Very Impressive I liked the trick with the printer paper putting it onto the Brass its kind of funny as a retired Woodworker i always routed things Straight on with rotary tools not from the side as you demonstrated of course all that matters is it worked with the bit you chose i originally was a little Stumped on what type of a jig you would need for the flex shaft untill i realized you would just freehand the logo the way you did
I was a bit surprised by 2 things -- first, that the handle didn't get branded before it was assembled, and second that you didn't have or make small chisels for cutting the brand, rather than using the rotary tool. Lovely video, as always, thanks.
The only suggestion I have is to sand a small flat on the side which would represent the bottom so to be able to register it more easily. Nice piece! 👍🏻 Doh! Now I read the comments; someone else got there first. 🤷♂️
Excellent work again Thunder Bear! Also...glad to see the next generation willing to try out what Dad is doing. I need to get my two sons involved with me since one is 20 and the other is 17. ( both have birthdays at the end of this year.)
I absolutely love Cherry wood. I have worked with it an have made a lot of furniture with it. It is So enjoyable to work with an gorgeous looking after you stain it. That branding iron fantastic looking !!!!!!!!!
Amazing! My awl also has a flat spot to prevent me from dropping it all the time (turned the handle with my father-in-law). Now I want to make a brand and do the same thing...
Даже на дереве клеймо!!! Тоже надо, мастер высокого уровня!!! У вас уже трава зеленая, точно зимы и не было? Видео качественно снято - приятно смотреть. Молодец!!!

Hi Thorbjörn Maybe a pointer on the bottom so you know what is upside/down on the outside ring! Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.
Brilliant idea with the toner . I made one free hand your way is better! You may be interested in putting some reference marks on the stamp to get it lined up perfect every time. I did but only after I made mistakes lining up and had to spent time putting right lol. Thanks
If you put a metallic screw into the brass - so you can heat it up until the metallic change his color and you know the temperature - after using you must scratch the color for the next time
Perhaps create a flat on the top or bottom of your brand aligned with the logo. That way it would be easier to line up the brand with whatever item you’re branding
That's probably what I will do!
Was going to say a little witness mark, good idea.
Yep! I was going to say the same :-)
Not a flat, just a shallow v cut at the top of the brand.
Chris Daigle personally I find a flat easier to align with something unless you have a mark on both sides of the brand and a visible line on the work to line it up with. Remember, the center of the brand is not positively located so it’s easy to have the mark on center of your work but have the center of the brand off-axis still leaving you with a tilted branding.
Seeing you teach your son how to use these tools is so heartwarming.
ive always loved your work. no annoying music, no gimmicks - just tools, skills, passion, and the sounds of the workshop! keep up the great work and i will keep watching.
And the birth of "TA" signature series limited edition tools.
I admire how you always take the time to fine finish your work. It is very satisfying watching the process and I bet it is even greater pleasure using the tools you create. Thanks for sharing.
Is there anything this man cannot do or create? Just in awe of his skills.
I like the way you involved your son. Well done. And nice job on the branding iron!
Simple but elegant. I am glad to see that you now have an assistant in the shop.
Very skilled craftsmanship....but the part I like best is that you provide your son with a hands-on learning experience. That is worth everything. Best wishes.
It is great to see you are bringing your Son along. I hope one day he realizes how lucky he is to learn from such a talented, perfectionist Th
What a neat trick with the toner to transfer a design!
Yes it worked quite well! Took a bit of trial and error to get the temperature right. It needs to be quite hot!
@@torbjornahman huh i would probably burn the paper before it's hot enough 😅
It's used a lot by hobbyists, including myself, to etch circuit boards. But I use a clothing iron.
You can also do toner transfer with acetone. I have done it to transfer artwork onto wood.
@@Bikeeast ooh, thanks a lot for the tip!
I have binge watched almost all of your videos, all are spectacular! As an artisan myself I enjoyed a different take on adhering the toner to the brass, never seen that one before.

I've got a lump of brass to do this with, but you have raised the bar to god mode!!
Oh, no I haven't!? Carving is the tricky part, but with the right tools and good eyes it's not difficult just tedious!
@@torbjornahman it's not just the carving, the handle, the turning and getting your son? To help as well, great stuff!!
Yes these pieces deserves the badger of honor. Thank you TA.
Just be sure to remind your son that, Pride in your own workmanship, not arrogance of your ability, is what will set him apart from people who may have more talent. Keep doing what your doing TA
Great to see your son taking interes, reminds me of the old days with mine. Stay safe out there Happy Trails
Maybe I'm just late getting to the party, but I have never seen that transfer technique before - way cool! Thanks for sharing and have a happy day!

That's a "brand" new branding iron. I would like to have something like this if i was working with wood. Great work and beautiful tool.
Thanks!!
All that's missing now in a brading iron to brand the branding iron. Can't leave that one unmarked! Well done, Torbjörn!
Actually, technically all that's missing is a second handle.
@@Gameboygenius Shhhh, don't tell Torbjörn that, I rather watch him make a whole other branding iron that just a handle.

Another wonderful video and project. I was happy to see you teaching your son on the lathe. Cheers from the States
Very nice work as allways.
Fun to see a kid getting some real life experience in actually making something.
The toner transfer trick was nice👍
Superb work! The challenge is.. the right temperature or seconds of heating....
Your kids are getting a good education there.
and you can mark them at the same time! ;p
not in safety

Should be a arrow or mark which show you top or bottom while branding iron is in round shape . Any way many thumbs up you are a genius .
Wonderful job , Torbjörn ! Great video! Love seeing, you passing the knowledge to your son!
An indicator line to know the orientation from the side would be handy. Neat video!

Before some of your viewers get frustrated, not all printer toners can be remelted like that. Some are plastic based, and some are based on other materials. From practical experience, HP toners mostly seem to work, Brother printer toners do not. Same applies to photocopier toners. Experiment until you find one that works for you. Another option for toner transfer is to soak the paper in acetone and rub the back of the paper with something firm. Same issue as above-works for some toners and not others.
This is such a clever transfer technique! I'll definitely use that thanks!
Your work finishing is awesome. Very nice hand crafted tool as all of your work bro 👍
I would add a flat spot to the brand so you can more easily tell which way it is oriented
Thank you for the "Toner Trick". Much appreciated. Cheers.
Hi Thorbjörn Maybe a pointer on the bottom so you know what is upside/down on the outside ring! Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.
Yes, I will probably grind a flat at the bottom side of the letters.
You can stamp a top of a handle in the same direction as the stamp itself.
Torbjörn Åhman, thank you for your answer. Enjoy your day.
Brilliant idea with the toner . I made one free hand your way is better! You may be interested in putting some reference marks on the stamp to get it lined up perfect every time. I did but only after I made mistakes lining up and had to spent time putting right lol. Thanks
Very nice! The rotary tool also seems really good.
You could still make a mark on the seal where the top is .
Cool With that tool you can make other brands that screw on to the handle like a smaller logo for awkward round surfaces.
Very nice, great aim marking the awl..
If you put a metallic screw into the brass - so you can heat it up until the metallic change his color and you know the temperature - after using you must scratch the color for the next time
I've had great success transferring toner based copies with acetone onto copper. I assume it would work well on brass as well.
You got your boy involved.... Great to see 👍🏻😎
That's what i was hoping you would make exactly. Love it
Very nice indeed. A lathe is a cool tool to own.
