Equiplay Saddlery Report post Posted September 16, 2015 Finally got tired of bending and breaking el cheapo stamps and ordered a few Barry King stamps the other day. I'm just getting started good with this but I've welded and worked with wood for many years and have learned the value of quality tools. What amazed me was how much easier it was to run these stamps compared to the cheap stuff. There is certainly no turning back now its good stuff or nothing. By the way the clarity and detail of the imprint alone is worth every penny! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikefan Report post Posted January 9, 2016 Man. That belt sure looks pretty. How do you do that? I've got some higher end stamps I would like try this with. Can you give me some intel on setting up to run a belt like that? Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you give me some intel on setting up to run a belt like that? Thank you! Vikefan thanks for the compliment. It's really not hard to do especially if you have good stamps. Bruce Johnson has 2 tutorials pinned to the top of this forum that are excellent and can get you started. You just have to reverse the angle for each side of the arrowhead. Also TimKleffner did a really nice tutorial on this pattern. I found it and "bumped" it back to the top of this forum. Just look for Basket weave Arrow. Here is another one I did as a Christmas present a few weeks ago. I used a #2 BK rope basket weave and a #2 BK crescent for the border on a 1 1/2" belt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
