What miscellaneous supplies might I need to complete a leather branded project?

A few household miscellaneous supplies might be needed when leather branding.  These supplies are:

• Small Ceramic Dish – Can be used to hold leather branding points – perfect placeholder for warm points while cooling down.
• Pencil – Can be used to draw a pattern onto a project surface.  Can also be used to retrace over pattern lines when transferring a design.
• Graphite Paper – Use to transfer pattern design lines onto leather surface.
• Stylus or Ballpoint Pen – Use to transfer pattern design lines onto leather project surface.
• Tape – Either stencil, painters or cellophane tape can be used: 1. Use to secure pattern to surface while transferring design lines. 2. Use to secure the metal safety stand to work surface.
• Flat Nose Pliers – Can be used to hold a point while attaching to or removing from the tool.
