Making My Own...

Recommended Posts

Found some old nails in the garage. Decided to try my hand at making a stamp.

That's a Samsung Galaxy 3 for scale. Took about 2 hours to make it.

Dremel with cut-off wheel, grinder and buffer. Couple of files.

Last pic is with a Tandy B200, granted not their largest. Now I have one to do borders on belts.

Assuming it works right. Might still need some polishing.

I have made 3 tools myself just recently because I didn't have what I needed when I needed it and didn't want to wait to get one sent. Mine are very simple tools ( one beveler and a couple beaders, no fancy checkering or anything like that) but it was kind of fun to make them and have them actually work and do the job I needed them to do. Question: did you harden your tool?

No but I did keep and use a tub of water nearby when grinding and polishing. When my fingers got warm it got dunked.
