Ok, so do people usually make the jig to hold the letters themselves or are these off the shelf items that can be bought?

Hi, I am new to leatherwork and I have some work which involves stamping peoples names into pieces of leather. This means that I need a stamp set that allows me to easily and quickly change the text whilst lining up each character properly. It is worth mentioning that I may need more than one full alphabet for people who have repeated letters in their names. I am sure that pieces of kit like this exist, however I am not sure what they are called or where to get them. I am in the UK and so a UK supplier would make things easier. *Can I use a cold stamp to do this or should I use a hot stamp? *Can I hit the stamp with a hammer or should I use a press? Any help would be appreciated.
