I don't know what type of detail I could get from a 3d printed stamps. I just watched some videos on it and it looks promising. I'm going to anchorage at the end of October and there is a makerspace there. I'll do some testing there and see what I can come up with. The formulas I want to make into stamps might be as simple as 2+2=4 or complex trigonometric equations or geometric symbols. I might want it to look like it was typed, like from a textbook, or I might want it to look like it was written on a chalkboard. I might want it small or large. The mass produced alphabet and number sets would be totally inadequate for this project. But if I could get the right amount of detail, this would be the cheapest way to go. Sure, someone with skill could effectively use a swivel knife and carve formulas and math symbols all day and it would look fantastic. But I have done almost nothing with a swivel knife. With Scouts, we only work on small projects and the classes are not long enough to do anything but stamping. If 3d printed, I wouldn't be able to recycle them for my own reuse. Only if I was making them out of brass or some other metal would I be able to possibly melt the stamp and metal shavings to reuse. Also I wanted to use metal on some stamps so we can use them with a mallet and not a press of some kind. Mainly for a camp logo or event logo that the Scouts can use. It might be used hundreds of times. Thanks for the response. Dale

I know I'm opening a can of worms here but here it goes. I want to make some custom leather stamps. The kind you make with a piece of metal and a cnc machine. I know that I can get them made but I need to make a lot of them for some projects I want to do. These would be for personal use or for use in the leatherwork classes I teach with Scouts. Some will be used once or twice and others might be used hundreds of times. I will probably recycle them, after I'm done with them, by melting them and turning them into "raw" material to make more stamps. Example 1 - My wife is a High School math teacher. She also runs the Rubic's Cube club along with having a bridge building competition team. She was born on 3/14 which is considered Pi Day and also happens to be Albert Einstein's birthday. I want to build a portfolio briefcase that incorporates all this onto it. I plan on making a border with a meandering stamp with as many digits of Pi that I can fit going around the whole front and back piece. There will be a Rubic's Cube, a swivel knife portrait of Einstein (the one with his tongue sticking out) and lots of common math formulas for the different classes she teaches. Some will look very formal (like they were typed) and some I want to look like they were written. Example 2 - I want to make custom stamps for the different events that are held in our local BSA Council. Like one for the 2020 Summer Camp so scouts can make something with the 2020 logo and year on it. Example 3 - I want to make some custom stamps (like the Craftool 2D/3D stamps) that you use a mallet on. This is only a few of the ideas I have. What I would like to know is: Who should I talk to about this? The same companies that do the "Maker's" stamps don't want to talk to me because they think I want to do this as a business. Would it be a machinist? Someone that runs a trophy store? A mechanical engineer? Who can tell me what equipment and software I should use? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dale

I'll see what I can do about that tomorrow.

I think I may have discovered what the problem is. One of my settings on ebay is to not ship overseas. So maybe the listings don't show at all to people overseas. I think that makes sense. The reason I don't ship overseas is basically because I'm not sure how to go about it. Especially calculating shipping, in addition to any paperwork that might need to be filled out. I've actually done very little selling on ebay. I really, really, really hate selling on ebay because of all the fees between ebay and Paypal. That's why I have all this extra stuff.

Thanks Sheila. I tested it and it works on my end. I don't know what to tell you. If you do a search on harley leather stamps you should see my listing then click on "See Other Items" once your in the listing. I have a lot for sale.

As many of you know I've been acquiring leather tools and stamps for scouts. I've been buying them for years and even received tool donations from a few people from this site. I've donated hundreds of stamps to our local BSA council in Las Vegas. I just listed, on ebay, all the extra 2D/3D leather stamps I have, along with some others (Harley Stamps, Pre-63 Native American Symbol Stamps, etc...). The prices are probably a little high but the money is going to be used to purchase the tools we need for the Leatherworking program. I would appreciate it if you looked at them and hopefully purchase something. I estimate I need around $6,000 to get everything I want to get for them. My user name on ebay is d-prez The link below should take you to my user page. Then select "Items for Sale" to see what's there. https://www.ebay.com/usr/d-prez I hope to have more leather stamps listed this week so please check back. If you could pass this on to other leatherworkers, I would appreciate it. If you wish to donate any leather tools, please look at my ad in the wanted section to see what we need. Please message me if you have any questions. Thanks, Dale

First, I want to thank everyone that has supported us in the past. We've received some really great stuff. I'm doing a final push to try to get the rest of the basic stuff we need, and have it ready by May 2020. I am looking for donations of the following Leather Tools and Stamps to use with Scout and Youth groups in the Las Vegas Valley. The BSA Council is trying to get together the necessary tools for 5 sets (4 for up to 22 scouts and 1 for up to 44 scouts) of leather tools for Cub Scout Day Camps and the Boy Scout Leatherwork Merit Badge classes. Large donations are great, but even small donations are greatly appreciated. Even one tool from the list would be fantastic. I can get you a donation letter, for tax purposes, from our BSA Council if you want it for any of the donations you send. Cash - Always welcome. Please contact me first so we can discuss what you would like purchased with your donation. You can even purchase it and have it sent to us. Gift Cards from Tandy, Springfield Leather, Weaver Leather, ebay and Amazon would be most welcome. Even Home Depot or Lowes since we need storage containers and other supplies. 15 - 8059 Stylus 13 - U710 Mules Foot Stamp 17 - X511 Basketweave Stamps 132- Small Stamp Handles - The kind with the little ball that prevents the stamp from falling off. They only have a couple of these. 44 - Large Stamp Handles - The kind with the little ball that prevents the stamp from falling off. But not the ones made by Ivan. They don't fit some of the 3D stamps. 20 - 1/4" alphabet and number sets (8137 or T8137 24 - poundo boards - 6"x6" or larger. I will cut to size. 24 - Leather Shears - We need the heavy duty ones like Tandy Super Shears 24- Snap/Rivet Setter Sets - They currently have no setters at all 24 - Both Mini and Maxi Hole Punch Sets (They have zero hole punches) 48 - Wing Dividers- Preferably 3" - 6" but all sizes welcome. All Scout related Leather Stamps especially the BSA eagle, OA and Wood Badge stamps (we really need these) Empty Stamp Boxes For 1/2" and 3/4" 3/D, Alphabet and Number Stamps - Must be in good condition. I need to replace a bunch of the old boxes because they are severely damaged 60 - No 2 (Round Profile) Edge Bevelers - Other sizes welcome also Any leather stamps you no longer need. Including handle stamps, 3D stamps and stamp sets. 8 - 1/2" Wood alphabet sets - Even partial ones as we always need to replace letters that are lost. 6 - each of the craftool stamp sets, like the Native American Symbol set, Cartoon Animal set, Text Terms set, etc... All leather tools are welcome. Tools we do not need for the above tools sets will be saved for the Summer Camp Program. If you want a complete list of what we need, message me and I will send it to you. And please pass this to your friends in leatherworking. Everyone usually has a few tools they don't need anymore. Please send all donations to: Donald Reynolds Scouting Resource Center Attn: Edgar and Dale 7220 Paradise Rd Las Vegas, NV 89119 Even if you decide not to send us anything, please support your local Scout council and ask about donating leather tools to them. Thanks, Dale

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to test some of these ideas and I'll post my results. Keep the ideas coming. Dale

I have not done a lot of leatherworking in my life. It turns out I am mostly a hoarder (collector?) of tools than a user. I mostly work with Cub Scouts at day camps and Boy Scouts as a Merit Badge Councellor for Leatherwork. So most of the stamping I do is just to demonstrate the different types of stamps before I turn them loose. Last weekend I did a couple of LW Merit Badges classes for about 35 Scouts. There was an Eagle Scout in attendance that reminded me of myself. He wanted everything perfect and was afraid to do anything until he was sure it was going to look good. He wanted this one 3d stamp on his project. It was one of the larger stamps but no matter what we did we couldn't get a good impression. I used a 3lb mallet on it to no avail. He was frustrated, but I was more so. Due to cost, and weight, we do not have granite slabs. After all, lifting 20 of them into a car and hauling them across a field on a dolly is impossible for most of the counselors. We use only 6x6 poundo boards and wooden mallets on usually portable tables. Not a recipe for crisp stamping. When I did do some stamping, it was on my kitchen table with a 12"x12" slab of quartz or granite from Tandy. Which is usually what most of us start out with. But even using those slabs, some of the more detailed stamps didn't come out so good. A couple years ago, I started setting up a section in my garage for do leatherwork, but have never been able to keep it clear enough to get to the workbench. I even bought a piece of granite (called a surface plate) 12"x18"x3" thick. The shipping on it was twice the cost of the granite but luckily I was going to pass by the sellers shop on a short trip I was taking to LA for another reason. So lucky me. In my effort to stock out local BSA Council with a number of LW tool sets, I listed some of the more expensive stamps on ebay so I could buy a bunch of tools for the Scouts. Someone requested I stamp them on leather so they could see the impressions before they buy. I didn't know where my Tandy slabs were, but I could barely get to the corner of the workbench where I set the surface plate 2 years ago. Wow, what a difference. The impression was so detailed it was like the ones I see in the You Tube videos I always watch. So I did some tests on different thicknesses of leather scraps and they all looked fantastic. This has inspired me to get that area clear so I can do some of the projects I bought but never started. But it got me thinking. If the Scouts were able to get close to that type of experience, would it inspire some of them to continue with LW? I think so. I know I'm willing to haul 20 slabs of granite around, but other MB Counselors wouldn't. So I now have a conundrum. What can I do? These are the options I came up with: 1 - I'm going to try to get some free granite scraps (about 3/4" thick) from a countertop business and test them out with the tables we use. If that works, great. I will try to get them cut to a good size for free (ha ha) and that will be great. 2 - I saw an article in a magazine about building a portable stamping surface. It was a granite tile glued to a piece of plywood and a poundo board glued on the other side. The advantage is that it is a lot lighter than a thick slab since the tiles are only about 3/8" - 1/2" thick 3 - Buy the slabs from Tandy. They sell a 6"x6"x1.25" thick size that may work. 4 - I found some small granite surface plates on Amazon that may work for us. They are 6"x8"x2" thick and according to the description, are around 10lbs each. They run around 25.00 with about 10.00 shipping. But when I put 20 in the cart, total shipping was 24.00 total. Wow, that's just over 1.00 each. Obviously, option 1 would be best due to cost. But I don't know if 3/4" is going to be enough due to the abuse that the kids would put it through. I'm afraid they would break and need to be replaced often. Even thought they are close to free, it would be a hassle. The same problem with option 2. I think this portable stamping surface was mainly designed for attending LW seminars, learning new figure carving techniques, and not the pounding they would get with Scouts. Option 3 has the advantage of being the most used in leathercraft but the 12"x12"x1.25" slabs are heavy and cost around 35.00 each. The 6"x6: is around 18.00 and would be 1/4th the weight. I like option 4 because it cost less than the 12"x12" from tandy and weight about half as much. Now, here's the rub. Our local BSA Council has 5 sets of tools. 4 for up 20 Scouts each and 1 for up to 40 kids. (They actually don't have enough leather tools to cover all 5 sets but I'm working on it.) So, based on cost alone it's never going to happen. Plus no other LW Merit Badge Counselors would want to do it. So why am I even thinking about it? I guess it's because I want to give the Scouts the best experience I can. And, maybe, inspire them to take up LW as a hobby. After all, the reason I decided to start buying tools and getting into LW was because of the positive experience I had at some Boy Scout Summer Camp 40 years ago when I did the Merit Badge. Anyone have any ideas (options) for me or recommend some medication that prevent me from coming up with these "impossible" ideas? Dale

Craftool 8162-00 I see them occasionally on ebay.

Probably wouldn't need it in your own shop. If you do classes you might. Even outdoors when I work with scouts there is a lot of noise. Especially under an awning. Up at the scout summer camp, the craft area is fairly close to the swimming pool. They cannot have a class (i.e. Lifesaving) there if the leatherworking merit badge class is going on due to noise.

OK. My anal retentive mind won't let me rest until I can get this info. Can someone post a photo showing what stamps belong to the midas mini stamp sets 3550 and 3551? I lost my leather stamped pieces at a scout event and I want to remake them. Thanks, Dale

My advice is to: Go to a business that installs granite countertops and ask to take a small (at least 12"x12") piece of granite. From Tandy get the $70.00 set (55402-00) Deluxe Carving Leathercraft Set. Follow the instructions and watch lots of videos online. Buy project kits of things to make for yourself and family and do them. If you have a local Tandy, go to their free classes. Only add tools as you need them. Ebay is a great place to pick up used tools. But watch the prices and shipping costs. A Cautionary Tale Hi, My name is Dale and I'm a leather tool hoarder. I am currently doing an inventory of my leather tools and this is what I have: over 450 unique Craftool handle stamps over 175 unique Craftool No-Letter stamps All 84 of the Craftool Pro handle stamps Around 200 Craft Japan stamps Around 200 handle stamps that I don't know who made them Every Craftool handle stamp set. 10 different zodiac stamp sets 701 2D/3D stamps (I am only missing 3 Craftool, 6 Leather Factory, and 32 Midas stamps) All of the Craftool 2D/3D stamp sets All of the Craftool and Midas alphabet and number stamp sets. Plus over a dozen from other brands In addition to all that is listed above. I have over 1,000 duplicate handle stamps and over 1,400 duplicate 2D/3D stamps. And that's after I donated hundreds of stamps to our local BSA council I haven't even started on the rest of my tools yet. But there are boxes of them. But in my defense. I was planning on doing some group classes for up to 40 kids and I didn't want to use my personal stamps. Yeah, that's my excuse.

I look at ebay many times a day. Most of what I want is listed there. But I have a hard time spending the 25.00 to 80.00 for a single stamp. That's why I put "reasonable price" in this thread. I'm hoping someone out there hates to sell on ebay as much as I do and has stamps they no longer use and that I need. This isn't a complete list of the 3D stamps I need. I actually need a total of 36 Craftool stamps (most between 8500 and 8550), 26 of The Leather Factory stamps, and 171 Midas stamps. I do have over 700 extra 3D stamps that i bought over the years that I would be willing to do some bartering with though.

Thanks Rockoboy. I'm probably going to get 2 sets of their aussie stamps soon. I'm trying to get one complete set of the 3d stamps (craftool, midas and the leather factory) for use in Scouts and another for our scout summer camp. For about 8 years I've been compiling a list of all the 3d stamps I can find and I've identified 741 stamps from the three companies listed above. So, for two sets I will need 1,482 stamps. I'm down to needing: # Needed Craftool 36 Midas 171 The Leather Factory 26 So I only need 233 stamps to complete both sets. I found places I can get 62 of the midas stamps. But the rest I am probably going to buy on ebay or here. Dale

I am looking for the following 2D/3D leather stamps at a reasonable price: Craftool: 8523 Flag of Israel 8524 Star of David 8536 Rearing Horse The Leather Factory: 8501 Eagle Head 8502 Deer Head 8504 Cougar Head 8507 Wolf Head 8517 Eagle on a Branch 8540 Wild Cat 8546 Bear Facing Right Midas: 8234 Wild Boar 8299 Wood Duck Left 8307 Deer Family 8339 Kangaroo with Joey 8344 Religious Fish 8347 Flower 8368 Leopard 8375 Semi Truck 8379 Cowboy Boots Please let me know if you have any of these. Thanks, Dale

If you've read any of my other posts, you know what I am trying to do with working with Scouts and other youth groups. This year I plan on running the Leatherwork Merit Badge at our Summer Camp. One of the things I'm trying to do is to put together several displays that I can hang up around the facility to show the kids some interesting leathers. I'd like to thank Kevin and Rusty at Springfield Leather for generously donating leathers from different animals (lamb, a few caiman, a couple snake, lizard, bison, elk, deer, ostrich, elephant, pig, shark and carp). See Photo I need some suggestions on how to display these. So this is what I'm asking for: Suggestions about how to actually display them. What information should I include on the display. Other types of leather, if you can donate them. PM me for my address. I first thought about putting them in a display cabinet behind glass. But I ruled that out since it would be very heavy and I want to be able to add more as I get them and I think it is important that they be able to touch them. I could create a single board for each sample and link them together to form a display to hang. I could mount them on large sheets of plywood to hang or create a floor display with 2 pieces of plywood, back to back, and the bottom spread out. I could put them in a binder with each type on a different page. I'm not a big fan of this idea since a binder, or certain pages, could easily "disappear". I could just pass them around during the initial class when talking about different types of leather. This would be the easiest but I would have the same problem as above. I could make a big "quilt" like display with just a small name plate stating the type of leather. This would be the most difficult, but might be the best. Any help would be appreciated, especially with additional leather samples. Thanks, Dale .

I need some help. I'm going to be running the Leatherworking Merit Badge classes at our BSA Summer Camp this year. The council has about 2,000 rounders so I guess that is going to be one project for them to do. I hate the standard flower pattern that is always used at Tandy so I want to have a bunch of patterns for the kids to choose from. The kids will each have the following: Swivel Knife Stylus A104 B200 C431 P206 S724 V407 V707 X511 Plus appropriate tools to use the above items. A large variety of 3D stamps and alphabets Guidelines for the challenges: Photograph each step of tooling. After completing the final tooling and photographing, any finish of your choice (that is available from Tandy) can be applied. Designs can be as simple or complex as you want but remember we are dealing with ages 11 to 17. Email me the patterns and photos. And, I would like you to send me a finished piece and I will make a display of them. Put your name on the back of each submission. Dale Prezgay 4800 Crimson Glory Lane Las Vegas, NV 89130 dprezgay@yahoo.com Please include your name, business name, email, website, list of tools used, finish and finish technique used and any other important info needed to complete the design. NOTE: The patterns submitted are intended for use in leatherworking training. However, I would like to put together a PDF about how to run a Leatherworking Merit Badge class and include patterns and photos of the items you submit. Giving proper credit, of course. Here are the Challenges: Feel free to do more than one of the challenges, but please do at least #1. #1. Create a pattern for a 3.25" Rounder using 1 or more of the above listed tools only. #2. Create a pattern for a 3.25" Rounder using any Craftool stamps. #3. Create a pattern for a 3.25" Rounder using only a swivel knife. #4. Anything goes - Create a pattern for a 3.25" Rounder using any leather stamps and tools from any maker. Any boarder, lacing, stitching, etc. This is a chance to really show off. #5 Key FOB, wristband and bookmark designs using the criteria from Challenges #1 to #4. Also post photos here as I'm sure everyone else wants to see them too. Thanks for any help you can give me. Dale

Thanks

I understand that they are the same company. My question is, are the impressions of the zodiac stamps from Baron Tool and Baron Tool LA EXACTLY the same? Thanks, Dale

Thanks for the response. The reason I ask is that I have a set of zodiac stamps that include both BARON and BARONTOOL LA in it. Some of the BARON stamps have a circle base and on the others, the base is loosely shaped around the stamp design. I'm thinking that the "round" BARON stamps are older stamps. The "shaped" BARON stamps are newer. And the "shaped" BARONTOOL LA tools are even newer. But they may or may not be the same design. I have 9 different sets of zodiac stamps (both Western and Chinese). Some are full handle stamps and others use a separate handle like an alphabet set. 1 Set is made out of that black plastic material that needs a press in order to use them. I intend on making a chart on a large piece of leather and framing it, one day.

This is an update to the leather tools I need for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. (I'll do another post of my progress on leather tools for our Girl Scout Council at a later date). PLEASE LET OTHER LEATHERWORKERS KNOW ABOUT THIS POST. I am currently looking for donations of the tools listed below. NOTE: First of all, I do realize that it is unlikely that I'm going to get everyone in the forum to clean out all their unused leather tools and send them to me. Leather tools are expensive. What I would like is that all the people that read this, think about picking out a few tools that they don't use anymore and send them to me. Maybe you've upgraded to Barry King or another maker. Maybe you have some 3D stamps you know you will never use again. Even if you are going to sell them, you can afford to take a few out and send them my way. If I could get 100 people to do this it's worth the effort. My posts are already much too long so If you would like to discuss any of this with me, send me a message with your phone number and I would be happy to explain, in great detail, what I am trying to do. This all started with me helping out with a Leatherworking Merit Badge class last May and I noticed how incomplete their tool set was and the horrible condition they were in. But once I started looking at their leather tools and programs, it turned into a rabbit hole. I am trying to get our Local (Las Vegas) BSA Council's leather tools in shape. The leather tools that they had were in such poor condition that I had to throw many of them away. It doesn't look like they have any tools or stamps that are less than 20 years old. I donated over 300 stamps to put together some sets of tools for the Day Camps that they put on. Even with what I donated, they are still very much incomplete. These tool sets are loaned to the different districts in our council when they run a Day Camp which are held between May and October. In addition, these sets are loaned out for merit badge classes. I also inventoried the leather tools at the Boy Scout summer camp and was astonished how little they had. I ended up leaving many of my tools and stamps for them to use last summer just so they would have a good selection of 3d stamps and alphabets to choose from. There is a lot they need, just to do basic projects. They don't even have a hole punch or rivet setter. There is a 3rd program called Scout Reach. It is designed to provide opportunities for at-risk children to get a taste of some scouting activities and hopefully get some of them to join the Cub Scout Pack at their school. I looked at their tools and there is almost nothing left. Some of the stamps were so damaged that I couldn't even identify what the stamp was to begin with. They have not included leathercraft in this program for about 2 years. But they very much want to. So after I get the Day Camps and Summer Camp tool sets together, I will concentrate on Scout Reach. Because of the way non-profits work, items purchased for a particular program must stay with that program. Here is what has changed since the last request I posted.: They built a park next to the Council Office and need 1 additional set for day camps that they will keep there and not loan out. I juggled tools around from different programs (even though I wasn't supposed to) in order to spread out excess tools from 1 to another. I talked to the "Grand Poobaa" at the council office and except for about $1,000 budgeted for the new, Park Day Camp, there is no money for leather tools. This set will remain on premises, and not be loaned out. I received about a dozen packages containing a wide variety of leather tools. Most of it is going to the Summer Camp. See bottom of post for a list of priorities on use of cash and gift card donations. If you send anything please text me and let me know If you would like to make a cash donation, my Paypal ID is: dprezgay@yahoo.com Checks can be made out to: Las Vegas Area Council BSA and sent to one of the address below. Please include a letter specifying that it is to be used on leather tools and supplies, and include my name and phone number to contact when they receive the check. My address is: Dale Prezgay 4800 Crimson Glory Lane Las Vegas, NV 89130 702-768-3335 If you want to send directly to our Scout office, the address is: Donald Reynolds Scouting Resource Center 7220 Paradise Rd Las Vegas, NV 89119 702-736-4366 ATTN: Edgar Almodovar I can get you a donation letter from our Council if you request it. ALL DONATIONS MADE THROUGH PAYPAL, OR by GIFT CARD, WILL RECEIVE A DONATION LETTER. Please include your address so I can have it sent to you. I can also use gift cards from Tandy, Home Depot (for mobile carts for the leather tools), Springfield Leather, Hobby Lobby. NOTHING RECEIVED WILL BE SOLD. If we can't use it then I try to trade for what we need or I will find another home for it at another Boy or Girl Scout Council. So, this is what we still need: Supplies and Tools: We need leather scraps. All shapes, sizes, thicknesses, species. Anything we can use that is at least large enough to make key fobs, rounders, etc.. Old leathercraft kits you aren't going to use. Hardware items like rivets, key rings, conchos and any other hardware you want to send our way. Any size and finish. Please put them in separate plastic bags. Setters to go with the different fasteners. Craftool Hand Press with any Press Dies. I would like to get a couple for the Summer Camp. Hammer/Mallet Dies in the shape of key fob patterns, rounders, coin purse. Anything they can make a project out of. Clicker Die Cutting Boards - They are usually red. Heavy Mauls - 3lbs and up - If you have any of these hanging around, even if they are in poor shape. We will try to repair them to use. Hole Punches - Oval and Round. All sizes. End Punches Bag Punches Lacing and sewing chisels Thread and Lace Awls Needles for lacing and sewing. Lacing-Stitching Ponies - I'd like to get about 12 of these for Summer Camp. Wood Tool Racks Leathercraft Hammers Wing Dividers Stitching Groovers Books, Patterns, Stencils and Craftaids.

The Cub Scouts use mostly stamps that are a complete image. Like a star, fish, flower, etc... Craftool makes some and Craft Japan has a lot of them. Basic Tool, and Baron Tool have a lot too. Really any stamps would be great. The Summer Camp needs all kinds of handle stamps. I'm trying to put together 24 sets of the "Basic 10 Tools". I need 23-Swivel Knives, 23-8059's (stylus), 10-A104's, 8-B200's, 4-C431's, 6-P206's, 14-S724's, 18-V407's, 22-V707's and 24-X511's For the Summer Camp, I would like to eventually get at least 1 complete set of all Craftool letter, no-letter and Craftool Pro stamps so the kids can make any design from any of the Tandy books and Craftaids. I would also like to get some Midas/Kelly Tool stamps and any from all other brand of leather stamps. On the off chance I receive donations of some premium stamps (Barry King, Linnell, etc...) I will save them for some intermediate and advanced classes I want to offer starting in 2020 or 2021.. I would also like some homemade tools to show the kids. You know, the old timer ones made from nails and bolts and steel rods and such. I have about 6 and they are pretty basic ones, so I would like to have more to show them. ANY LEATHER STAMP, ANY BRAND - We will use them.

That's a total of 2,956 stamps. I still need over 1,700 to meet this goal. I'm also trying to get 1 complete set as extras so I can replace any missing stamps when I do an inventory each year. However I am not making a great effort on this and not included in the above calculations. The one's I have came from other sets I bought on ebay that were included with the one's I wanted or got them real cheap when Tandy discontinues and clearances them. If you want to donate to a specific program like Summer Camp or Girl Scouts then specify that in the package that is sent.

In addition I will be watching ebay and a number of other sites for good deals on leather tools. Like I stated before. Any Leather tools and Supplies that are donated will not be sold. But if we purchase any tools on ebay and it turns out that we don't need them we may sell those in order to get other needed tools. If you read all the way to the end your amazing Thanks, Dale

I just received some zodiac leather stamps that I bought on ebay. Some are labeled BARON and some are labeled BARONTOOLLA. Are they from the same molds and interchangeable or are they actually 2 distinct sets of stamps? Dale

Here is a photo. The Wood Badge ones are in the right two columns. The OA stamps are in the middle. The Boy Scout ones are the three on the far left.
