[TheForge] Branding Irons?

[Jonathan Barnhart]

I'm not a welder, I have no welding equipment. 
Everything I weld is forge welded.  Thus welding is
out for me.  As to the actual use, it's entirely in
the traditional use of such items.  Cattlemen,
horsemen, farmers that want to mark their cows and
horses.  As well as cowboy wanna-be's that are looking
for some cool cowboy chic stuff to hang up in their
houses.
