Members katsass Posted September 26, 2012 Members Report Posted September 26, 2012 In my experience, to make good solid brands, the wire has to be red-hot and glowing. One shot is all you get when placing the iron to the leather, and it'll sizzle, squeak, and smoke a bit, but a good deep impression is what is needed. Practice on some scrap first.

Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.

Members JET4 Posted October 23, 2012 Members Report Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) About the only leather I use is heavy weight latigo. I have a local laser engraver that I work with who has been a great asset to my business. The laser engraving turns out great. I would estimate that 95% of my orders are personalized with laser engraving. Here are a few pics. You can check out more on my website. Edited October 23, 2012 by JET4 Quote Otis Leather Company
