msbarrelchaser Report post Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) Can anyone tell me where I can find a waffle tool? It's a little like basketweave, but I can't find it anywhere except for Bob Beard's website. Thanks in advance!

bruce johnson Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Kristina, Unless I am not thinking of what you are, about everybody makes them. I have one from TLF that makes a pretty good impression, within 5 years old (not one of the celebrated "pre" prefix era stamps). I have a custom waffle from Barry King that is good, reeeally good. Hopefully the rest in the set are in the mail. Jeremiah Watt has a good one. Some people refer to what I call "block" stamps as "waffle" stamps. I have good blocks from Jeremiah, and also Wayne Jueschke. I think Wayne makes some of the best and most interesting centers. My wife and I never agree, and we usually end up with two. Personally I think across the board, Barry King's stamps are among the best value. I kind of fill in from Jeremiah and Wayne what Barry doesn't have. I pick up a few others here and there that are either relics or match up an old pattern I like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance! Kristina Kristina, I whole heartily agree with Bruce on his evaluation of stamps and makers. I also agree that the present breed of Tandy waffle stamp may not be as sharp as the older, pre-letter prefix stamps. However, I believe a lot of us have gotten pre-letter Craftools on Ebay. I just have to be patient in searching. This is how I and several others that I know have gotten good Craftool stamps. carlb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
