Hi Michael,
Thank you for the reply and compliment. I still think you guys are the masters, I just mess with wood as I do not have the metal working skills you guys have, though that will have to change when I have inspected my truck in the next day or two and ordered the patch panels I will be needing, as I cannot see myself making up repair panels from flat sheet metal at this point.
The Grizz Logo was kindly made by a guy called Shep, who frequents
www.ukgser.com which is a BMW GS motorcycle forum I play on.
He completely randomly sent me a PM and asked if he could make me a brass heat brand to mark the stuff I turn.... of course I said yes please, as it was always something in the back of my head.
Drew up some artwork and had a friend who is clever on PC's etc do a vektor pic that he then fed into the work machine cutter and he produced and posted me the brand.
Here is a link to my wood turning thread on Retro Rides's "Readers Other Modifications" section

As delivered:
I just use a pair of long nosed pliers to hold it in the butane flame of a weed burner I found at the tip, as it loses a minimal amount of heat and thus heats up fast, not wasting gas.
Used it on the inside and outside of the Electric Cigar Box Guitar I built about two years ago as a challenge.

Always checking if everything passes security.
Right, the garage calls.
