Just received my new logo branding iron a few days ago and put it to use last night. I think it turned out great! So far I'm very pleased with how this amp and cabinet are turning out.

Thought I'd post some final pics of the Rocket build here for you guys. It was my first cab build and Im very pleased with the way it turned out. Im excited to give this amp to its new owner within the next week!

Nice looking amp! Tell us more about that branding iron logo technique, that front panel has a great look to it.

Thanks RJ!

I had the branding iron made through brandingirons.com. I sent them a vector file of my logo and they CNC'd it out of brass. Since mine so large (6"x2"), i had to get the standard fire heated kind. That being the case, I use my gas grill to heat it for branding. Not the ideal method of heating, but it works great and heats evenly! From the picture attached, you can tell what the iron looks like and see that it came with a short handle. This was taken the first evening that i heated it up to practice with it.
