Title: Any welders here?
Post by: biggraham610 on November 08, 2014, 01:08:03 PM

This is a link referring to the branding iron I have. I've been pleased with it. I use my fish cooker to hot it up.

I got mine laser cut through one of our suppliers, then the boys at work tig'd on a handle. minimum order value ($50) meant I got 2! the order was shipped with another order for work so saved on freight too, helps to work in the metal industry though ! :)
