nice work looks like a shorty ??
Agreed your logo is & should be a representation of your self
My first items I hand engraved my logo on & it looked not to impressive

had a go & made a stamp but found I had to stamp hot steel or get a bad stamp or risk & double stamp from bounce

personally I am settling for pro made stencils & etching my works you can pretty well finish the job then etch before final polish & all done clean with neat lines
I got my etch stencils made by a lad in Aus $70AUD for a 4" * 6" sheet

Found this site: Infinity Stamps, Inc. - Custom Steel Hand Stamp for Metals
Not sure if this is what would be used?
I looked at these also early on
but I wanted 3 stamps & it keeps adding up
Etching really well!!!
Etch is the way to go. Had a stamp, really only works well on aluminium. As for design, mine is my initials squeezed together with a circle around it. you just have to play around with designs until you find something that speaks to you.

Second the "year made" suggestion. It would be something if the vintage makers had adopted that practice from the beginning. Ken
