Even if this has been posted before, it probably ought to be posted again: I recently moved, but when my stuff arrived, my granite block had somehow "disappeared". So I went to a local granite / marble countertop shop, told the guy my problem, and he even helped me dig through his scrap pile. Wound up with a lovely 26" x 18" x 1 3/8" perfectly flat polished granite tooling surface ABSOLUTELY at no charge. The guy even helped me put it in the back of my truck. While there, I picked up a couple of smaller pieces for use in tight spaces and so forth. Even if you think your local shops might cooperate, it's worth a try to find out - no?

I was just wondering what weight of poly maul everyone is using to stamp with? I have the Tandy rawhide mallet but I think especially for basketstamping I would like something heavier. I usually have to hit the stamp more than once even with the leather cased well. Thank you, Todd

I was getting ... better ... at regular basket weave stamping and figured I'd try out the tri-weave stamp I acquired. That experiment was a mess. Do you guys have tips for laying out this stamp? https://tandyleather.com/products/craftool-tri-weave-stamp

Hi all. I want to start foil stamping my company name and location onto my products. However, I am feeling challenged by the price of type. It seems that it is sold only in sets at $300 to $500 a set. But I only need 16 characters. Is there a stamp maker that sells individual characters to fit the Dream Factory hot foil machine? Art

I have often toyed with the idea of making key fobs with horse breed stamps on them, intended to be sold at horse events. I have an engraving machine, so I am pretty sure that I can make the stamps myself, but I am not sure if I should try to make the stamps so that the logo is raised or depressed in the leather. The easiest thing machine wise would be to make the stamping so that the logo stands proud, like those old US cavalry stamps in the link below. the stamp itself will most likely end up being a diameter of say 1.25", so it hope that it won't require a super heavy pressing to work. But if I make the stamp the opposite way, so that the logo is pressed…

Bill asked me to post this little deal on stamping a rope border. I whacked this out in a couple minutes one morning. I do a lot of western things, and this rope is my most requested border. This is all done with Tandy stamps. I used the #957 rope stamp and a modified #803 beveler. I took a small circular stone on the Dremel and ground out a curve on the toe of the stamp to fit the curve of the rope border. Takes about a minute. I have attached an impression of each stamp, the linear pattern and then how I handle corners. It is pretty self explanatory. Any questions. fire away!
