Some Cedar Signs

[kartracer63]

Chuck,

Oddly enough, most of my customers ask for business cards to give to their friends, but I rarely end up hearing from any of them. I would say, I've had 3 sign orders (at the most) as a result of word-of-mouth.

I'm getting more and more random hits on my website via google searches.

Here's a few more to share.

Do your signs have your number or website carved in the bottom or back side?

Chuck,

Every sign and cribbage board I make, gets branded before it leaves.

Eric,
The signs and cribbage boards look great!

How do you apply the stamp on the back?

i think i read somewhere that it is a branding iron he burns on....i'd hate to be a cow on his ranch!

Thanks Melissa!

Jack's correct... I have an electric branding iron.

I bought it from here: http://brandingirons.com/

Hi Eric

A tiny thing that can make a difference is you forgot to plonk your phone number on your branding iron. Brands are darned easy to make on the Bot. All you need is a chunk of brass and a 150/200 watt electric soldering iron you do lovely work!

Bob,

Does the 150/200 watt soldering iron take long to heat up the chunk of bass? I'm interested in making a branding iron. I don't have the $200+ to purchase custom one. Besides I'd like to make it uniquely mine. Thanks!

Don, I have a very similar iron which was purchased through Lee Valley Tools. And it was only around $120 (i think) and it takes about 15min to heat up to the point where i can make a decent burn in the back of the stuff i make. i rarely use it because by the time i think to plug it in, i never feel like sitting around to wait for it to heat up and then to find a place away from anything flamable, children, dogs (Great Dane. So needs to be HIGH up) to let it cool down. But it is a very nice touch when used.
