man, them things must have gone up A LOT.

I didn't pay that much for TWO.

JLS are them stamps there, made of steel or derlin? They look nice. How wide is that oval stamp? 

Thanks.

I don't know if you noticed it on his website Diesel but he has a tutorial posted on using petal lifters along with a few other tutorials.

He's quite a talented guy from what I can see of his work posted on his site. He does inlay work as well as leatherwork ~

Laser etched plexiglass 

The makers mark is glued the a steel plate

I have stamps that are 6” x 6”. As long as you use a steel plate and press in multiple places it is good to go

Thanks I appreciate the info. A guy might need a cheap harbor freight press for a stamp that big!

How you getting along with your makers marks? If I had seen this sooner id have suggested exactly where you ended up going. I got mine about a year ago now...

 

Best couple hundred I've spent in some time. Mine is on a 1" square, makes the stamp about 15/16" diameter.

What do you use to set it? Ive got a 3# deadblow that works pretty good.

I love my stamps Tim did for me. I got 2 makers stamps a 1" & 1½" 

For setting I bought the big Barry king maul I can't remember for sure, but I think it is 32oz. 

I know if you don't case your leather good enough, the 1½" sometimes takes a couple hits.
