I'm sure you wont be dissapointed. I spent about 30 mins with it on some scrap leather to figure out how to get a good impression, without getting a double I.print. 1 good solid wack caused a rebound and double impression. I found that solidly held and 2 to 4 lighter wacks got a very clean impression. I use a 1 pound poly maul, by the way.

I've got one in my Machinist tools... I'll have to give it a try.

Leatherstampmaker.com.  made a few for me and the local golf courses. Supporter of the forums too.

I second leatherstampmaker.com ive used them several times for custom stamps for a few businesses i do regular work for and they work great and the first pieces i got from them has made several hundred impressions with no sign of slowing down. And with there brass stamps you can get there heating iron and use the stamps for branding as well as stamping. Ive got smaller stamps that work great with heavy handle and a hammer. And ive got bigger stamps i use in my press with equal quality results. I wouldnt hesitate one bit about goin back to leatherstampmaker for any custom stamps i need or want in the future.
