Whiskey, i am going to buy me a couple 3D stamps, I love the looks of Roses on aa hoslter. I will try the c clamps, I have several of those. But, I am going to either build a small press or a notary press, i saw at a flea market today, a old can opener, that was big, and just pushed a sharo triangle blade threw it at the back, it problems was that the pressure would start at the end closes to you and less at the back.
Slowhand, I want to thank you for the tip on the Hidecrafters 3D stamps!
Slim, What about a dead blow hammer?
Wc last but not least, the older tools I know are better, the guy I told you about that sold me some stamps, they were old, and although I have most of them, I think i will go over and try and make a deal on all that he has he wants to sell, i think about 15-20.
But I did do something neat tonight, I made me 2 stamps on my own, and I feel that if I open up my mind a person could make a lot of workable tools. I plan on going to Joplin and hit the scrap yard and pick up some brass in the form of key stock. I bought a 3 foot piece of 1/4 cold roll, and 3 feet of brass 1/4" rod. I made my first stamp with a 1/4" stove bolt you can make a lot of diff. camofloug stamps with those, also took a 16 penny box nail and made a neat looking Star. I think I am realy going to enjoy making some of my own stamps!
I hope that I am not dragging this on to much, but all I can do at this time is basketweave and some border work.
Once again, i am so greatfull for the help, and maybe more heads working together might be a gain for all of us.
Thank You
