LNLeather Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) What is a clicker? John Clicker is a Die Press - I don't know why they call them that... The Tippmann Clicker is sooo easy to use for Cutting or Embossing leather with cutting dies and emboss plates. Tippmann 700 Clicker (or 1500) Die Press - runs on air. Electric - Craftsman 1 hp 7 gal. *Tippmann also makes high quality cutting dies, with great prices too - made to your specifications. I have this set up and there is so much less wasted leather. While I am learning leather work... I am trying to make some money too, making small items like Coasters, and Christmas ornaments etc. I can get over 200 3 1/2" Perfectly round or square coasters out of a full hide with very minimal waste. You can see the Tippmann Clickers on ebay or click on the link at the top of this page - they advertise their Clicker, Boss & Embosser up there. I got my Clicker for $1650.00. and for me - it has paid for it self. There is a Tippmann Clicker 1500 Leather Air Powered Die Press on sale right now on ebay Edited January 17, 2011 by LNLeather Quote ~Cheryl There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those...

LNLeather Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Whats the deep of the impression and what do I have to pay for the stamp/s? Maby I have a friend that can make them for me :-) If you go to ebay Duckcreektraders on ebay you can look at their items up for sale, there are 2 or 3 pictures for each item, that will show you what they look like on different projects. From what I have seen, (imho) I think their prices are Very Reasonable. It just depends on what you are making. Use the impression as is, or use it for a pattern and add your own tooling to it or around it... Here's an example of the Matched Pair Saddle Pattern Emboss Plates 4 3_8" x 5" and just one of their examples. Your options are endless... ....back to the original post and the US & CS emboss plates Edited January 18, 2011 by LNLeather Quote ~Cheryl There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those...
LNLeather Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) duckcreektraders makes 2 sizes of US & CS leather emboss plates. *The smaller set is 1 1/4"x 3/4" and it fits on slings, belts, accessory straps, hat bands, badges, cap boxes, regimental plaques, etc., and a bullet pouch like this... FYI - The small set is up for sale today Edited January 27, 2011 by LNLeather Quote ~Cheryl There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those...
Members Toddo Posted February 2, 2011 Members Report Posted February 2, 2011 I've been looking for that CSA font for a long time. I don't necesarily need a stamp. I can just enlarge it or reduce it on my computer and transfer it to tracing film. I wonder where I can find the "A" as I want to make the square confederate belt buckle style that has "CSA" on it, not just CS. My brother does relic hunting here in VA and he has loads of relics. I wanted to make a square CSA belt buckle for him out of one of those square Tandy leather buckles with the leather insert. I saved the PDF of the CS and US oval pattern. That is awesome. Anyone know where I can get the A that matches the font? Thanks, Toddo Quote
LNLeather Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Just thought I'd mention..... These emboss plates are up for bid over at ebay US & CS Leather Emboss Plates 2 3/4" x 1 5/8" pictures of sample holsters duckcreektraders on ebay website - BUNKHOUSE TOOLS FYI - I am such a big fan of their emboss plates and they have some really great stuff up right now.......
