Fantastic Fine Craftsmanship.

Absolutely fantastic fine craftsmanship. I bought the hot stamp for my 13 yr old son's woodworking projects.

Outpost Workshop has a super fast delivery service which was greatly appreciated as we needed the stamp before Christmas. Brilliant service thanks.

Amazing Quality

Thought about getting a branding iron for a while. Finally bought one and am very pleased with it. The logo is perfectly crisp. Very impressed with the quality.

Part-time small business hopes

Ordered a branding iron Outpost Workshop, received an email from Mike stating that the logo was great but was probably too small to work - took Mike's advice and within a week I received a beautifully-crafted bit of kit that helps makes my products stand out a bit better!

Does exactly what it says on the tin

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Uploaded my graphic with wording, only needed 2cm, and am delighted with the results. The branding iron is solid and only takes 30-40 seconds to get to branding temperature (with a torch flame). Great for all my turned items.

I ordered it

I ordered it. It came. It remains to be seen if it works, though I doubt that I'll be disappointed.
