Show-N-Tell: BHI branding iron

BHI branding iron, originally uploaded by Black Heart Industries.

I made this for branding my clocks, and anyone who would like to be my slave. Wanted: young ladies who would like to be tied to train tracks. The heart is cut and ground from a piece of 1/4″ thick steel. A hole was milled and tapped in the center. An old, worn out philips screwdriver was used for the handle. I ground the tip off and then annealed it so I could tread it with a die. This was fun to make, and even more fun to use. Heat is applied via a blow torch.
