Yeah but I dont have all that stuff. I improvised. My stamps are hand held stamps.

Here is another sample with a bigger stamp & gold foil.

Here is how I set my foil up.

Thanks guys & gals. I figured its 1 more weapon to have in your arsenal bag. Another option to offer your customers. I think it looks quite well to boot.

Here is a couple pics of the finish hot foil. This is a copper foil.

Guy & gals I wanted to share my procedure for hot foiling with a steel makers stamp. 1st off I reached out to Tim at steel stamps to make sure it would not hurt my stamp. He said nope it wont hurt them. So a toaster oven works the best for accurate temperature settings. Preheat toaster oven to 300°f & then place your steel stamp in the oven for a minimum of 15minutes. Then once the stamp is heated. Place your stamp on the hot foil on the leather & sit stamp on the foil & leather. Leave it there for 10-30seconds. It leaves a nice foil stamp on your leather.

Cant access picture. For some reason I can now. Sorry.

Nice work. Looks professional to me. I say thumbs up on your fabrication work.

Yeah I have been accused for making too heavy/thick wallets. Said they caused back issues. Lol. Soo I figured I would put this design on a diet & thin things down. It should be a nice thin wallet when done, with the ability to carry quite a bit of stuff.

Ok thanks. Much appreciated. I'll check out your store/products.

If you buy this book. There is 4-6 pages with every measurement, nut, bolt, screw needed to make a stitching pony.

Here it is after a coat of fiebings mahogany pro dye & a quick rub down. The fiebings mahogany pro dye is a perfect match to the Conceria Walpier mahogany Buttero. But if you put it on too heavy it will darken the exterior of the leather. I'm glad I did a test run before doing the wallet. Another pic for ya all. Thanks.

I havent brought much to the table lately. Figure I would show the beginnings of a wallet I mixed & matched pieces from a few different patterns. Its 5oz Conceria Walpier Buttero in a mahogany color for the main body. Then I used 2.5-3oz Buttero for the cash pocket & card slots. This particular design of mine holds 8 cards Lol slowly learning what & what not to do, with my electric creaser. Well for a work in progress I'm pretty happy. Thoughts? Thanks.

Looks good. Nice work. What leather did you use there? Thanks.

Looks good!

Yes I'm not the only 1. I got a BW stamp I made, it's not as nice as yours. I was in a hurry. Pear shaders is the other tool I make from time to time. Nice work on the handmade stamp. It looks Good!

Congrats! I hope to do something like that someday. I would take some tools you want to learn better or gain talent with. Sounds awesome! Keep us posted. & of course we all love pictures.

@bruce johnson might be able to find that stamp # Lol I paged him, we will see what he has to say.

Do you got any pics of said stamp you are looking for?

Will you be shipping to the USA? Just curious. Thanks.

Looks nice to me. Nice work.

Well keep us posted how it went!

Thanks. I appreciate the informed run down of tools. I had a feeling a grand was a touch low on my estimate.

Thanks. I did not know that. Good tip to know thou. Lmao I hate onions is the only reason I said what I did.

I use weldwood glue as well, give it a few days & the smell will go away. I would much rather smell the glue than the onions!!!
