Branding Letters And Numbers

[Mike516]

I was thinking about branding rather than stamping letters and numbers to get a straighter line on, say, a bracelet.

I found something called Walnut Hollow creative leather branding tools. It looks kind of cheesy and I was more thinking about something you could insert the letters or numbers so they'd come out straighter. That's the only reason I'd brand anyway, because if I have to brand one letter or number at a time, I might as well just stamp them.

So any help with a decent branding iron kit would be greatly appreciated. The one Tandy has looks like the WH one.

Thanks.

This is the kind of thing I had in mind but;

1) there's no manufacturer name for the item, which is never good imo, and

2) just the fact that the seller says "letter only 0-9" although it made me laugh, from a business standpoint it's completely ridiculous and there's no way I'd buy anything from them.

This thread is old but I guess there must be still someone looking for heat branding with holders.
