My New Maker's Stamp

My niece provided me with the art-work and my good friends at Tundra Leather ordered the plate. A retired machinist made the "punch" for me and I epoxied the plate to the punch. Works good and adds a bit of professionalism to my projects.

Here is a photo of the stamp. The block portion is a small chunk of scrap aluminum. The block was tapped to accept a stainless steel bolt I had on hand. A "lock nut" was screwed on to the bolt.

I really don't have the ability to do this sort of thing on my own and am very fortunate to have a retired machinist that is willing to help me out.

I also made a really simple leather case to cover it with so that I don't damage it when not in use.

A leather case for the stamp is a great idea! Aluminium or Brass stamps are relatively soft metals, they could be damaged if it's got knocked down from the table.
