So I bought a pretty cool heat press off of eBay. It was advertised as a Kingsley but after talking to the seller on the phone it came out that the press is actually a Gold-Magic Robotemp 315 and it comes with 5 sets of Kingsley letters and a huge tub of foil. I won it for only $100 and I'm driving up to Maine next week to pick it up. Even though I am a bit bummed it isn't a Kingley, for $100 I am not going to hold a grudge. Here are some photos of it that came off of the listing. It doesn't come with a manual since the seller got it for free off of a gentleman that used to work for the State of Maine. The original owner used the press for fancy invitations for state functions, and the seller I bought it off of used it to monogram leather guitar straps. I'm hoping someone here knows where I can find a manual for this machine or has any insight whatsoever. Thank you -Bear

Hi We're looking to have a stamp made with our logo on - does anyone have any recommendations for someone that could do this? Thank you Jonathan

I had a need for a custom stamp 2" wide X 2" high and contacted Studio-N (member here) to see if it could be done. He responded immediately, communicated really well, and made me an excellent product at a very reasonable price. Anyone needing stamps or embossing plates should contact him at: www.maker-stamps.com Excellent quality, excellent customer service, and extremely reasonable prices, I will be ordering more!!!!

Hello all, I use a heating iron to heat my custom stamps, then transfer the stamp to my piece of leather and finally use my 1 ton arbor press to get a good impression on my leather. I have been using an oven mitt to transfer the stamp from the heating iron to the piece of leather. It's a bit uncomfortable but it worked alright. Well now the heat from the stamp has burned a hole in the mitt. Any suggestions on gloves I can use to handle the stamp? Also, would a heat gun work well for heating my stamps? Thanks!

This is my first post on this site, so here it is. I made some leather stamps today i am willing to do some trading, I can make a stamp for some leather ,or tools

Like many others I have seen videos by Ian and Nigel about high quality professional stamps made from brass. I was wondering if anyone here has experience of the lower cost options from a forum sponsor or the various other ones available from the internet. Ideally I would like to start with a smaller set and expand this in the future if required. I have an arbour press and plan to use it hot and cold. Thanks Michael

I couldn't find any information on this anywhere. For those who make things with at least a bit of the flesh side visible, has anyone ever tried stamping their logo onto the flesh side with ink, rather than using an actual 3d stamp on the grain side? I thought it could look pretty cool. If you used archival ink I would think it wouldn't fade or discolor. Any thoughts?

I have recently deiscovered that there is a club who provide access to a laser cuter and CNC machine right down the street from me. I'm in the need of making my own makers mark stamp and was wondering do you think an acrylic stamp laser cut would handle the pressure of being pressed into leather?

I am selling a set of four University of Georgia Bulldogs stamps as pictured. The stamps were part of a large lot of tools that I purchased over the summer and being a Florida boy, I don't really see myself ever using them. Included are the four stamps on 4.5 inch handles.

Made this one tonight. Not if I like this one as much as some of the others that I've done. It's 1.5" high. Chris

I wanted to try working on a stamp that could be used to make patches. This was my first attempt, and for the most part I'm pretty pleased with the results. At the moment I'm a bit limited on the size of design I can do because of the material that I'm using. Chris

Just finished this one up a few minutes ago. 1.5" tall Chris

Here's a stamp I made today. I found the image online and thought it would make a cool leather stamp. Took about an hour to make start to finish and it's about 1 1/2" square. Chris

Alright, I'm overwhelmed by hot foiling machines, and seeking advice. I'm in the market for a hot foil machine, we've been using an arbor press, and I'm ready to add foil to our customization options, but don't know the best direction to go. I have about $700 to spend on one and am just confused. I want to be able to mount my brass tamps on the press without using the tape that I've seen people write about. Does anyone have any experience with the Kingsley presses? Would I be able to do that on this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kingsley-hot-foil-stamping-machine-model-M-50-type-and-type-holders-/282085520442 Just looking for some guidance before pulling the trigger.

I am in the market for a user-friendly stamp press machine to use on small leather accessories such as a leather credit card case. The machine will be used to emboss a logo on the leather. Not sure if I should go with heat or non? I am very particular about quality. I will not be using foil, but may want the option down the road. I have spoken to vendors and the recommendations I am getting are the following: green machine, model 25, and 55. Any feedback regarding model and vendor recommendations would be great. Thanks.

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone knew where to find the stamp shown in this picture. It looks like a geometric/weave, but I've been unable to find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure where to post this so I'll try here. I am trying to find a high resolution vector drawing of a police badge so I can have a stamp made. I attached a photo of the badge that I would like or one similar. Anyone have any idea where I can find one? Thanks

I made this stamp a while ago with the intention to sell it on Ebay, but I think due to Ebay's new selling restrictions on rebel flags, and other confederate items, I'm sure it will be taken down. If anyone on here is interested, I will sell it for $15.. that includes first class USPS shipping.. I accept paypal... private message me if your interested.. The stamp image is 1.75" wide X 1.05" tall.. Ron R.
