Wire nail branding iron - Pricklysauce
Mini branding iron made from a wire nail, easy to make and great to use.
Uses a wire nail something about 125mm with a nice sized flat head.
Hammer the nail into the end of a piece of wood...this will become the handle.
Cut out a design from sticky backed vinyl and stick on the end of the nail.
Check out my Metal etching video youtube.com/watch?v=t2D7DICS070&t=13s
Etch your design onto the nail head...remove the vinyl and black gunk.
Use files or a rotary tool to grind away the excess metal to allow the branding to give the best results.
Cut the piece of wood to length and form a comfortable handle.
Heat up the end of your wire nail branding iron and brand your, great results are easy to achieve.
Big thanks to Matt Harris for his funky tune Critter Cruise available for free use from YouTube Creator Suite.
