Mocivnik Report post Posted November 27 What's this stamp number, that's been for the edge in marked circle? It seems I cannot find it anywhere, just other "grainy" stuff.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDragon Report post Posted November 27 Is this the one https://www.ebay.com/itm/333575752337?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=b60briaxqgs&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mocivnik Report post Posted November 27 Not sure if correct, but surely looks very very simmilar. Also, super expensive (found brass version for 60USD /3pcs.). Any other that kind of stamps I can find, preferably from standard palette? These are from Sergey Neskromny, but I'd rather stick to Craftool stamps.

BlackDragon Report post Posted November 27 I wasn't able to track down Craftool that's similar so far. You can try this place. I've bought from them in the past and they have a few somewhat similar. https://proleathercarvers.com/collections/background-stamps/products/e481-background-matting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuck123wapati Report post Posted November 27 140 bucks for something you can make with a file in about ten minutes. Actually looks like a dull chisel was used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yukonrookie Report post Posted Thursday at 08:46 AM Sergey makes brass or steel. Big difference in price point. That said, for a background like that I’m not sure how important crisp imprints would be. I wouldn’t want to pay that kind of money either. If I’m not mistaken CraftJapan makes a stamp like that. Actually a dull chisel is not such a bad idea either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually a dull chisel is not such a bad idea either making background tools with these abstract impressions is very easy. stainless steel bolts and a file or a punch, as you can see in my pic above. just round off and shape your bolt head then go to town if you do not like the impression grind it off and try again. Then guess what people will come on here and ask where you bought it lol. I will put this out there, most of the original tool stamps are copies of handmade tools from years back. I also use tools like straight-blade screwdrivers, the edge of a half-dollar etc, just use your imagination and you can find tons of designs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simply made with a file. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarshalWill Report post Posted Thursday at 03:22 PM I agree that making your own is easy. A good portion of mine are made from bolts. Stainless bolts are certainly the best to make them from but you can get by with other materials too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the older discontinued ones MIGHT be found on eBay as well.

Simply made with a file. Holy shit man! That’s really cool! I know what I’ll try my hand on next… Well, first I should get this leatherwork thingy more perfected lol. Definitely really cool though. Hands above than any craftool plated stamps, if I may say so. I got tons of bolts and old tool flying around and some metal shaping tools too (been also trying my hand at making knives). Not sure if I got the talent to make em to get as nice of an impression as yours but I’ll surly give it a try anyhow. Mighty fine job there sir. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
