[TheForge] Branding Irons? Professional witness?

[craig.schaefer at verizon.net]

OK   Back on topic.  I made a couple for burning into WOOD.  Biggest thing I didn't think of ahead of time was to brace them adequately from the back side.  I was using them at a red heat and it didn't take much pressure to deform them to the point they needed to be straightened before I continued to use them.
