I love your videos. They’re just honest, personal, and useful. I watch your new ones on things I’m not even planning to do because I usually get something out of them that helps me later, even when doing something different. I ended up on this one completely by accident because I want to make a brand for wood and leather and it was the 3rd video in my search. I wasn’t expecting to find one useful but here you are 😊
Loved this video! It provided an apparently easy solution to getting a branding tool for my wood turnings. And, as a bonus I learned a new trick/technique: the ring on the drill bit!
title got me thought I was going to see a video of how to make a branding iron not how to make a branding iron handle and stem but hey still a good video
Thanks for the video. Before ordering a brand I figured I'd search and see how to make one and that's when I found your video. Went through all the steps and within an hour and a half I had my piece designed and ordered. One mistake I almost made is not reversing my logo (as it is not symmetrical)...... that would have been disappointing. Thanks again, this saved me a nice little chunk of change.
It’s odd to me with how much I do both CAD and 3D printing to the point I do it for fun, I never thought of getting a head 3D printed.. great video man!
Hi James I like watching you're videos sir nice to see videos that use hand tools not power ones I'm currently buying a hand drill like yours for £2 thought was a steel just hope the bits easy to get as think work on diff drill bits
Thank you for this video I am trying to figure out how to make my own branding for my wood turning projects, thank you this answered a lot of questions.
James, I have been looking for a simple way to create one of these for like the last 6 months! I can't wait to try this out! I also subscribed to both of your channels because I love collecting and using old hand tools!
Just a thought. If someone was concerned about touch the hexagonal nut you could have a big lip on the front end of the handle, like some soldering irons have.
Very good video! Love it! I like octagonal handles! Maybe it’s a good idea to make one surface of the handle different than the others so that you feel with your hand when you have the logo’s topside pointing in the desired direction without having to look at the bottom to align it the way you want.....speeds up the workflow when doing more pieces.
Right on. Especially if you're working in wood if you're working on a soft leather you need a little bit more but still rarely more than a 16th of an inch
The main point of burn that would be obvious to me is the head end if the carriage bolt. Of course it could be countersunk into the handle to remedy this issue. Thanks for the links.
I originally thought that was going to be an issue but I've never had a problem with it It gets a little warm but never too warm to touch even after using it for more than a couple hours. The heat doesn't travel off the bolt that fast and it tends to dissipate before it gets there.
Wood By Wright How 2 You could simply wear a glove on that hand lol. Also, you can rubber coat the wooden handle. I purchase a can of rubber coat for dipping tools in for better grip and so it doesn’t conduct electricity when I’m working on panels. I’ve been doing electrical work for 30+ years and have never been shocked lol Well except that time I saw how much my wife put on the credit card one Christmas! Lol Cheers mate
Stainless steel is perfect in my opinion for a branding iron because of the low heat conductivity (20 vs 100 (brass) vs 400 (copper)). The heat stays where you put it. Also stainless is perfect for the handle and very scratch resistant. The brass coating will do absolutely nothing. For branding irons which are heated electrically I would prefer copper.
@@LegoMan-cz4mn because of the age of those handles, most were all so rounded off they are like a work of contoured art. My general practice nowdays is to reshape any hand saw handle so no sharp edges or flat spots are left, then donate them back to the local habitat for humanity or goodwill, where they sell it for 10 to 20, not 3 to 5 that i paid for it.
Richard Rosenau that’s really nice of you. I restore hand tools like planes and spokeshaves that I get from garage sales and other places. Once I have them in like new or better condition I donate them to schools and other places that teach woodworking to young people. They have such meagre budgets that they are always in need of stuff. Cheers mate Merry Christmas
Took a while to redesign my logo into the shape, but I got it. My brand is on the way and should be here in less than a week from now (I ordered it about 2-3 weeks ago).
@@WoodByWrightHowTo that's the plan! I've been wanting a makers mark for years. This tutorial was the first that didn't rely on my (nonexistent) carving skills or cost $250+.
Upload your file somewhere without the letters?? That way we can use your template?? Even better... just save the text as ABC for example to help with those not as advanced with CAD. Awesome video!
Wood By Wright you rock, thank you! Just something I hadn’t worked on before and that should make it easier. Especially for the threading. Link an affiliate for the part the connects to the threading if you’d like.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo thats great ty James sir im in stages starting up in woodworking got an idea for custom tea coaters so may be after some of your paste wax but is it food safe
the head does not get hot at all. I often have my thumb on it even when using it after 2 hours of heating. the heat dissipated before it gets that far.
I was literally about to ask why your ring was hanging off the bit and then you started telling about the reason! LOL By the way, you may want to consider a different bolt as heating zinc (that bolt looks like it is zinc plated) results in a toxic gas. Likely not enough to hurt you, but better safe than sorry....
Right on. In this case I'm not heating it up enough to cause problems with the zinc. You have to heat up zinc to thousand degrees or so to even start causing issues with it. If it's galvanized it can do the same thing in a slightly lower temperature but still nowhere near The temperature this gets to.
Do you need to mark the handle in some way, so that you know whether the text is "upright" ( "the Wright is upright" HA HA ) as you apply the brand to the wood ? Thanks
Ordered one, but cannot get the die started on the rod? I noticed you skipped over this part, well, it shows you starting to turn it, then it skips to it already being several turns down. I have tried many times and it just won't bite. What's the secret?
I filed down the tang so that 1/16-1/8" would stick into the die. Then put even pressure on the die. Some people use a drill press to push down on the die then turn it by hand.
James, I'm concerned. It would seem that you didn't misspell anything in your intro. Are you okay? Is everything alright? LOL Cool tool, man. Gonna get ahold of Shapeways soon for my own brand. Got some soft maple scrap I'll be making my handle out of. Thanks for the video.
Safety note: make sure the hardware you use isn't galvanized. Galvanized steel can give off dangerous fumes that can make you very sick if it's heated too high. The risk is probably pretty low here, but as always, better safe than sorry!
@@petermangan1124 That's an old welder's myth with no evidence supporting it and a lot of evidence against it. Having something on your stomach, including milk, _might_ reduce your nausea a bit, but neither milk nor calcium supplements offers any substantial protection from heavy metal poisoning, including metal fume fever. Even _if_ milk could help alleviate the symptoms of zinc fume inhalation -- and it can't, aside from placebo effect for milk cases -- it won't prevent developing pneumonia as a result nor protect from long-term consequences of inhaling heavy metal fumes. Bottom line, avoid heating galvanized metal. If you must do so, do so in a well-ventilated area and use proper PPE, including a chemical respirator rated for heavy metals. And if you develop symptoms of metal fume fever afterward, seek medical attention.
@@petermangan1124 Have _you_ asked a doctor? Because they don't. As it happens, a close friend of mine is a CRNP -- i.e. the exact kind of person likely to treat you for metal fume fever at urgent care or the ER, and who probably sees you at your regular clinic. Even though I knew the answer, I asked her how she'd treat it: "If their vitals are OK (non-emergency), just treat the symptoms, then have them follow up with their primary care. I'd have to look up if regular scans are recommended for long-term care." When I asked her, "So you wouldn't give them milk?", her response was, "What? Why would I do that?" When I explained the myth, she laughed at how ridiculous it is. No medical research backs the claim. No medical/first aid sites recommend it. Even Poison Control doesn't recommend milk, _except_ in cases of caustic or irritating poisons, where they recommend milk OR water -- it's about dilution, and they're considering that young children may drink only milk, not water. Poison Control _does_ recommend milk for toothpaste, because calcium binds to fluoride. In their pages for denture cream, diaper cream, and shampoo -- all of which they mention contain some form of zinc -- they make no mention of milk. Every professional welder's association or occupational safety site that mentions milk is specifically saying the old milk myth is false. It's an old welder's myth from before they regularly had good shop ventilation and PAPRs to protect themselves. There isn't even a consistent claim on why it's supposed to work, as everybody had their own reason (it's the fat, no it's the calcium!). It is completely false. Please stop spreading it.
I click on the link to tinkercad and it comes up with your branding iron. I’m not understanding how that works for me to try and design a logo for me. Lol. Like a lot of others I’ve never used a cad program of any kind lol. Could you please explain? Thank you Cheers mate
When you create a cylinder you can tell it to be a negative cylinder so it will remove material so I just created a cylinder inside of a cylinder and then made it a negative cylinder.
Only if you think someone will try and steal it. Copyright is only useful in proving when you created something, mostly to prove it is yours in court. It costs around $30 for three or less designs from the library of Congress. (FYI I teach Copyright to college students)
@@OuroborosArmory I've always understood copyright to be something that automatically goes with anything you create in a physical or digital form. As long as you can prove you created the content prior to the thief you are good. Paying just makes it easier to prove right?
FuZion Videos LLC exactly right. Without the library of congress, you can only really prove it using multiple sources of where you had used it prior, and it can be argued. Registering it means you have a surefire way of proving it. Just in case someone brings it up, mailing your self a copy does not work, and is not proof at all.

So I'm starting a little shop out of my house I was thinking of a name and my last name is cutwright my girlfriend said wood by wright sounds good and I just realized that's not happening lmao
I want to make a branding iron so I can brand my wood carvings, someone drew it cartoon face with my name beside it. I’m having a hard time finding anyone to do this, any ideas.
Have you tried a local artist? Long story on why I thought of this but try searching Fason Arts on Facebook. Looks like Chris does cartoon stuff that might fit the bill. Let me know if you go that direction as I’m curious. Good luck!
Or you could just cut it on a CNC. Make sure you have the right speeds and feeds for brass... If you use a larger (deeper) head, it will retain the heat long enough to do several brands per heating. Take care, the bolt protruding out the back of the handle will get hot. Worth machining a mark on the side of the head, to indicate where 'up' is...
@@WoodByWrightHowTo You do understand that that is a personally imposed limitation? And farming out machining does not really distance it you know. You cannot maintain 'purity' by having others do machining for you. Either hand chisel the iron, or accept you are not a 'hand tool shop'. Embrace it. Limiting yourself to 19th century tools is entirely arbitrary. Why not flint tools and antlers only? I enjoy making things using hand tools for some projects. But not all. I try to use the best tool for the job. Purity is nothing without honesty. You have a great channel, with a lot of useful information and engaging presentation. But do not allow that to rule your life- there are more ways to machine wood, and more materials to machine than dead plants.
After watching u bunch of your videos of HPWU, I've stumbled upon this video by accident and was quite suprised to see familiar face. I find your personality on this channel more enjoyable, your voice is more calming. The WU channel your appearance of excitement look fake and forced, and i dont like it. I watch it for news and news clarification. Looking forward on checking your other videos in woodworking section.
Thanks man. It's more or less just two sides of who I am. The woodworking is my business but wizards unite is my hobby and that's what gets me excited.
Going to go out on a limb here and guess you didn't watch more than a minute or so of the video. You should watch the rest if you're really interested in making a brand and, like him, don't have a $1000+ 3D printer or a $2000 CNC.
I came here thinking that someone made some of these branding iron. But just controlled a software and ordered. Ah, I was forgetting the handle. Was nice. 🤦🏻♂️
Tiny bit misleading as the stamp itself is what people have trouble with making. Having shapeways make it, you'd might as well just have someone commission a whole stamp.
You may want to read up on your methodology. I sharpen it the way I was taught to do so years ago by a man who has been sharpening auger bits for over 60 years. Not to mention if you actually read about the historical methods this is the way it's done.
I think I see your confusion. This is not a drill bit this is an auger bit It is a very different thing. It's basically a plane that will run in a spiral fashion.
@@shenaniganguy If you know of a better way then how about make a video about it instead of writing comments with no useful information to back them up? This man obviously seems to know what he's doing you on the other hand just seem to only provide criticism. Have a good day

I think it might be better to put a mark on the back of the branding iron, because it could rotate in the handle.

Or you could just cut it on a CNC. Make sure you have the right speeds and feeds for brass... If you use a larger (deeper) head, it will retain the heat long enough to do several brands per heating.
Take care, the bolt protruding out the back of the handle will get hot.
Worth machining a mark on the side of the head, to indicate where 'up' is...
Surprisingly the CNC costs more for just one small part.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo You don't have a CNC mill? Gosh! They are cheaper than a Stanley #1 you know 🙂- and a tad more useful.
LOL no... Hand tool shop. LOL
LOL no... Hand tool shop. LOL
@@WoodByWrightHowTo You do understand that that is a personally imposed limitation? And farming out machining does not really distance it you know. You cannot maintain 'purity' by having others do machining for you. Either hand chisel the iron, or accept you are not a 'hand tool shop'. Embrace it. Limiting yourself to 19th century tools is entirely arbitrary. Why not flint tools and antlers only? I enjoy making things using hand tools for some projects. But not all. I try to use the best tool for the job. Purity is nothing without honesty. You have a great channel, with a lot of useful information and engaging presentation. But do not allow that to rule your life- there are more ways to machine wood, and more materials to machine than dead plants.
After watching u bunch of your videos of HPWU, I've stumbled upon this video by accident and was quite suprised to see familiar face. I find your personality on this channel more enjoyable, your voice is more calming. The WU channel your appearance of excitement look fake and forced, and i dont like it. I watch it for news and news clarification. Looking forward on checking your other videos in woodworking section.
Thanks man. It's more or less just two sides of who I am. The woodworking is my business but wizards unite is my hobby and that's what gets me excited.
Wood By Wright How 2 what is this other channel you speak of?
Is it something you recommend to those of us who follow this channel?
Cheers mate
That tool is oh so cool -- er, uh -- oh so Hot !!!
Yes, make it at home for those that have a $1,000+ 3D printer or a $2,000 CNC. Just what everybody has
Going to go out on a limb here and guess you didn't watch more than a minute or so of the video. You should watch the rest if you're really interested in making a brand and, like him, don't have a $1000+ 3D printer or a $2000 CNC.
I came here thinking that someone made some of these branding iron.
But just controlled a software and ordered.
Ah, I was forgetting the handle. Was nice.
🤦🏻♂️
thanks for the feedback.
Maybe the title should be "How to Order a Branding Iron for Woodworking".
Hi, nice work! But how do we who are ordinary guys without CNC, 3D...and so on, do?😩I can pay You 50 bucks if do one for me😉😀
LOL one of these days I will get one of those too. that is why I used Shapeways to print it for me.
You design it yourself at tinkercad for free then send the file to shapeway and they make it for you for a fee.
Tiny bit misleading as the stamp itself is what people have trouble with making.
Having shapeways make it, you'd might as well just have someone commission a whole stamp.
i just tried to do this. Shapeways wanted $397 for mine the same size as yours. Talk about inflation. Oh well on to somewhere else.
Wow! That is crazy!
Its the handle. Not the iron stamps.

Don't attempt to sharpen a drill bit the way this way. 4:08 You will ruin your bit.
You may want to read up on your methodology. I sharpen it the way I was taught to do so years ago by a man who has been sharpening auger bits for over 60 years. Not to mention if you actually read about the historical methods this is the way it's done.
I think I see your confusion. This is not a drill bit this is an auger bit It is a very different thing. It's basically a plane that will run in a spiral fashion.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I'm not confused. You're doing it wrong, but it's not my turn to teach you.
@@shenaniganguy If you know of a better way then how about make a video about it instead of writing comments with no useful information to back them up? This man obviously seems to know what he's doing you on the other hand just seem to only provide criticism. Have a good day
Don't you have a belt sander lol?
Now that would take forever.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo lol not my Porter-Cable benchtop belt/disc sander
The title of this video is misleading...
