So I finally feel like I have some work I want to leave a signature on but I am not too sure which route to go. I have some soft glass friends and they all use a dremel with a diamond bit but I am just a little bit apprehensive about grinding away on some the thinner pieces of tubing. I am mostly looking to sign hollow things too if that changes anything.
Id say a titanium pen would be a lot better option, esepcially for hollow, the dremels can be hard to control.

The titanium pen is the best option I've found. Easy to use, and you don't have to plug it up.

i like my dremel personaly. i just do a few test sigs before my real one. for mibs and such though i like how the tit pen looks more cause you cant hide a sig like you can on other objects. peace brett

Sounds like a Ti-Pen it is. Thanks for the input
Jason, I am not quite up north yet. I think as of the first of the year I will be in Seattle. We should get together and get some torch time in January or February. I just took a Steve Sizelove workshop and a ton of ideas in my head now.

I use a diamond point in a pin vice, must be similar to your ti thingymajig.

Ti Pen!
I got $5.00 worth of Titanium (2 feet) from a metals supplier and snipped off a piece and stuck it in a pin-vise. Find your local metals supplier and do the same.
A little sandpaper preps the tip nicely.
