    Question about Nomenclature

    I have a question for you more experienced pipe makers, which judging by the pictures, its most of you, ... what is the best way to add a nomenclature of some sorts to a pipe? in other words do you guys use a stamp? or a Dremel tool of sorts? I have neither so what would be my best course of action?
