Here is a tip if you want to add your maker’s mark but are concerned stamping might be a challenge or warp your piece: ⁣
⁣
π’π­πšπ¦π© your custom mark onto 20g sheet .09mm (could be thicker or a bit smaller) and saw out your stamping.⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐩𝐩π₯𝐲 graphite to your stamping, this will avoid solder flowing into the stamping.⁣
⁣
π’π°πžπšπ­ solder it onto your piece. Sweat soldering is when you flow solder on the back of the component (in this case the stamping) place it on your piece and heat from below. ⁣
⁣
In this video I am using the Ti-Quad Soldering Stand from @lionpunchforge⁣
⁣
Adding it this way even adds a bit more dimension to your piece! π‚π¨π¦π¦πžπ§π­ if you add your signature to your work and if you have other tips and techniques please share them in the comments!⁣
