Its a branding iron made from a bolt with a square piece of steel welded onto it (thanks T.S.!). I then used a Dremel tool (Yup! This thing predates my metamorphosis into neanderthal mode.) to carve my mark into the square. Grab with Visegrips, heat it with a propane torch, and brand achoice.
The mark is just something I made up using my initials. But seen sidechoices, it looks an awful lot like a little pig. Hmm.
I have been planning on making a newer, and possible smaller, version of this brand. To do this without the Dremel would be a new challenge. Ive been thinking that I could make one out of an old tinsmiths soldering iron, as the copper would be much easier to work, and it already has a nice handle attached - not that I dont like the Visegrips...
