Thank you for visiting Drive1Long!

My name is John Rankin, and a few years ago, I purchased a hand-stamped golf ball marker for a good friend of mine as a Christmas gift. Once the item arrived, I looked it over and thought, “I could make this!” A few weeks later, I had acquired all the necessary equipment to do custom hand stamping on copper blanks. This hobby allowed me to make customized markers for friends and business associates.
 

In early 2022 I found a machine that would laser engrave detailed images on metal. While hand stamping offered a personal touch, the ability to laser engrave logos with incredible detail really piqued my interest. After much research, I decided to purchase a Fiber Laser machine in the Spring of 2022 and ‘Drive One Long Designs’ was launched!
