My dad's 2007 KR F250 has patches sewn into the seats. It looks like the patch might be pressed or branded with the King Ranch logo. I'm not sure what the difference is, though. I can get pictures if anyone wants them.

That can't be very expensive (aside from buying the machine) and looks great. Hmmm... buy one of those freakin lazer beams [/A.P. moment], Mark.

I think it'll just ignite. I'm waiting on the video, though.

We actually have one of these "fancy" lasers.
Chances are very high of laser damage, fire, smoke smell, etc...
Leather coated with armor all or leather protectant, besides that the leather itself can burn. Will not mix good with a laser.
Also you are decreasing the life of the leather where it is burned. It's not that thick. The soft supple leather you had will be
much different, in the burned areas.
I'll bet any amount of money, you send these in at your own risk, "if" damage occurs.

It came out, and you can see it. But it's not nearly as bold as you would think. The brand needs to be extremely deep and then allowed to heal and scar properly... So, my initials are branded into my passenger seat, its just sorta hard to see... If I can get my damn batteries back today I'll grab some pics...

So yea, you can do it.
Yeah, I actually remember seeing your thread thinking it was pretty cool, and gross as hell, all at the same time

Here we go All I have to say is

Junkyard had closed but we lied our way in Didn't have much time and we couldn't get the iron hot enough (I just had a small lighter based torch) to do the whole girl at once so we burnt around her for ***** and giggles in the first video...



and actually heated her gun up enough for it to work in the second...



To think, people actually by parts from us !!!

Absolutely true!....but not as awful as Mark's burning hand/arm hair from the torch, lol.

We've got another test to try monday, lol. Stay tuned.
