The first thing that came to mind was "I need to make a brass branding iron with my logo so I can brand tortillas" ;) Great video and I really like the narration style.
For marking leather, I've had success using a method that's similar to your iron: I've lasercut a logo or illustration in acryllic, glued it to a piece of plywood and used a vice to deboss it into the leather. Obviously you could handcarve a piece metal like you did, but instead of heat, apply pressure. The vice is good for applying even pressure.
This was awesome - I have screen printed for years and never come across the screen and wood glue solution. Emulsion has such a short shelf life! I’m looking at getting a small branding iron for my new projects, but will get it professionally made, so it lasts and looks great for years. I love your work. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks Laura, you reminded me that I need to design my maker's mark as I'm in the middle of making my mum a pasta board out of Australian Oak. Love your work xx

I use a dedicated fine burning tip in my soldering iron that I use to burn my name and year into small thin pieces of oak that I either glue to or inset into my projects. You have to do a tap tap tap vs a slide or it does not burn well over the harder rings in the oak, but it does work and looks decently cool.

I love this video! I hadn't even considered doing some of these things, like printing t-shirts... Also, I have used Hydrogen Peroxide to rust metal with great success. Like your process, the metal must be cleaned first, apply the HP, and then apply heat. The sun works if the weather is warm, space heater, and heat guns work too! Thanks for this.
Regarding ammonium chloride: Make sure to take the necessary safety precautions, you will probably get hydrochloric acid and ammonia gas, so at least wear your goggles and do it with good ventilation! I recommend experimenting with lemon juice instead.
I'd love to know how well you can polish up the copper plating before it wears away (or perhaps you just use it on polished steel?) - looks like a super cool way to be able to imitate large, otherwise expensive copper parts
I used FeOH pcb etching solution to put my logo on a Hex shape cut off a Messing bar as a branding iron / wax seal for personalised boxes or to seal the envelope with the invoice

Hello Laura, you released this video at just the perfect time for me. I was going through your older videos to find the technique for chemically burning wood since I wanted to use that technique to put my brand on something and BAM!...this video comes out! Impeccable timing! Thank you for putting all these techniques together in one video. I'm sure we'll keep coming back to it as a reference. Again, thank you.
People use thickeners to make it less runny. Maybe corn starch ? You might try your woodglue screen print and use thickened mixture for ink ? Use a small screen for permanent use as brand ?

Hello, the photo sensitive emulsion is nothing more than white glue and ferric dichromate sensitizer dissolved in water or DIAZO sensitizer. I forgot a touch of dye or water soluble paint ... Congratulations from Venezuela The advantage of using the same method with the stencil, there is no need for anything else, you apply it the same way you remove the stencil and then let it dry with a hand dryer and expose to artificial light or the sun and voila, better defined edges, just with logos because elaborate designs would be more complex and it is necessary to use negative photos on transparent paper etc. EXCELLENT VIDEO- EXCELLENT IDEAS ...

Did you happen to see EdibleAcres video from a week ago about using old blinds to fashion plant labels? I wonder if Laura's suggestions would work on that material...
@@robertlarsonwoodford Yes, I did. My experience is those blind labels don't last as long as I would like. My flock of geese pull them up and chew on them. I need something more durable. The geese will tear up anything they deem "unnatural" - and they have serrated bills!
Hi Laura! Great video! Some very thought provoking ideas. Have you tried Electro Chemical Etching on Steel? Very easy and safe. Uses only salt and vinegar for the electrolyte, and a very simple power supply to make really clean makers mark on steel or stainless steel. I just built a power supply to do this last week and it took me an evening to make and I got great results. There are a number of tutorials on CZcams, but its really easy and fast. Makes a durable permanent etch and mark into steel in about 1 minute.
The ammoniumchlorid technique reminds me of playing with lemon juice as invisible ink as a kid. When heated, the lemon juice browns the paper. Ya know... I guess it might work on wood too... huh?
Cool compilation of different techniques👍 The chemical approach I found on your channel a long time ago and gave it a try. Had some issues with the liquid bleeding but in general it worked quite well. Cheers

using the screen printer to create a mask for the copper plating on steel. most paints will block the deposits of copper. the possibilities with this. i would love a solution like this that would deposit copper onto an insulator so you could actually create you own circuits that way. once initial copper layer is done it could be built up in a number of ways to any thickness you need.
How fine do you want your copper lines to be? Because they do make thin copper strips with a sticky back. It is for stained glass work but can be stuck down onto anything. But I think the thinnest you can get is a couple of mm. You would have to lay down each part of the circuit separately, so it would be time consuming and not feasible for mass production. Does anyone know if there is a place to buy thin copper sheets with a sticky back? If you could find that, you might be able to cut it with a vinyl cutter.... if the copper is thin enough and the vinyl blade tough enough... 😀
@@PandTRanch copper foil is available in many forms and this has been done on glass before, but the adhesive is not ideal as the heat of soldering can cause it to curl up and come unstuck so this isn't a great option.

I love all your techniques! I was looking for a way to make 2”-2.5” calligraphy style fancy letters to indent into cement….nothing on Amazon. All too small or standard letters. Looked under concrete stamping and stepping stone. Some of the carbon steel set are $200-$400. Out of my budget range. I would be happy with plastic letters as I just want to do a letter indentation in the concrete. If anyone has suggestions I would really appreciate some feedback.
i use a rubber stamp and paint similar to how you used the stamp and ammonium chloride. i just put a thin layer of paint on a piece of scrap wood and press the stamp into it then stamp my project.

Using a water bath to prevent overheating the contents of the flask is a good idea, but it is done wrong in the video. The flask is sitting on the bottom of the water bath, which means heat can conduct directly into the flask from the outer container, defeating the purpose of the water bath. You need to put a support under the flask to allow the water bath to circulate under it to limit the flask temperature. (This is the same physical principle as a double boiler. Like a double boiler, it doesn't work if there is a large path for direct heat transfer.)
It's funny. I have experimented a lot with branding, mostly hot branding. Last iteration was a metal 3D-printed branding iron that was perfect(of course). Too perfect it turns out. I tend to use the ones I've made myself by hand from brass or steel, since they "feel right." Less perfect, more alive. As best said by the at least as talented wife of great Swedish artist Carl Larsson "Det ska synas att det är från handen" (old swedish), "It should be seen that it is made by the hand". I.e perfection is not a goal in it self.
The first thing that came to mind was "I need to make a brass branding iron with my logo so I can brand tortillas" ;)
Great video and I really like the narration style.
Hahaha! Yes please!
Great idea "bite me softly" is a good frase lol
I often use DNA marking. Usually as a result of inflicting an injury on myself :(
Haha

Thanks! I like these compilation videos too!
Love the compilation. Great ideas can get lost in the archives. The wood glue as screen print emulsion idea is my favorite.
For marking leather, I've had success using a method that's similar to your iron: I've lasercut a logo or illustration in acryllic, glued it to a piece of plywood and used a vice to deboss it into the leather. Obviously you could handcarve a piece metal like you did, but instead of heat, apply pressure. The vice is good for applying even pressure.
Nice!! Great tip!

how long will the copper oxide mixture stay potent for? will it work after a month of being kept on a shelf?
I used it after a week and it still worked good. But I have no experience about storing it longterm
Good stuff Laura. And you where a cute baby ;)
Great now I just need a logo.. :D
That was fun. I used to silk screen you made me want to do it again. Can you add copper solution to aluminum? Where did you learn all this magic?
