Stamping Letters in a Circle on a Round Coaster Updated
I have been working on some coaster designs, and I remembered seeing a gizmo that someone 'here' had made - to attach to a coaster with a pin in the center, that would swivel around the coaster so you could stamp letters in a circle. Well I didn't want to have to put a pin in each coaster. And I have never seen anything else written about how to do this. Soooooo, I figured something else out...
Some of the coasters I am making have no border, some have a straight line edge, some have a straight line edge and a camouflage stamp border etc. So I have made a special CIRCULAR STAMPING GUIDE COASTER to line up the letter stamps with to use with each different border design. The distance from the edge will be different with each different design - and also for your different sized stamps.
So for the coaster with just a single line border, make 2 coasters (both with a single line border) one will be the *GUIDE to line the stamps up on all the other coasters with the single line border. Take the *GUIDE coaster and place the stamp on the coaster where you want the letter to be - in the position you want the letters to be in... Cut out the leather under the stamp - straight up the left side of the stamp and straight out along the bottom of the stamp. I am not an engineer, so this might sound confusing, but the pictures should clear up any questions you might have... Take the *GUIDE coaster you have cut out and just put it over the coaster you want to put letters on in a circle, and just stamp a letter and then turn the *GUIDE coaster in a circle as you go. Just give it a try and you will get used to how far to turn the upper *GUIDE coaster to stamp your letters/words.
An easy fix to circular stamping on your round coasters... or what ever!
You will have to pre-plan what you want to say, where you want it, if it will read from straight on or if you'll have to turn the coaster around to read it... I know this sounds simple, but I can honestly say it is Real Easy to make scrap leather pieces out of your leather cut in perfect circles...
