Members Studio-N Posted July 5, 2010 Members Report Posted July 5, 2010 These are just a few stamps I have done for a recent client. I'm making them from delrin and laser engraving them. These are 1 inch stamps and are made on flat plastic rather than the rod used by other engravers. They are mostly for use with an arbor press, but I have fastened a stamp handle from a simple 6" pipe and two flat brass caps. A little double stick tape works well for holding the stamps in place for use. Quote

I need my logo stamp made and am looking for the right person to do it... Cost is a factor, but I'm more concerned with delrin rods bouncing around when struck. I like the idea of yours being more of a PRESS style application. Quote
Members Studio-N Posted July 9, 2010 Author Members Report Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Hello. Delrin sheet is not too expensive so I'm doing it for $7-$8 (simple beer money) for a one inch stamp. Mostly because I get to keep one too. However, I'm not doing any artwork design. It's one thing to trace a vector drawing in corel but it's another thing to do the artwork from scratch. I don't have time for that. Cheers. Edited July 9, 2010 by Studio-N Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted July 11, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted July 11, 2010 I've also been working on laser cutting Delrin stamps and am currently using a small hydraulic press to set them. What I would like to find is a way to set a delrin handle into a delrin stamp. I have found it difficult stuff to glue - but I'm probably using the wrong adhesive. Has anyone had any success with joining delrin pieces. I wondered if welding them with a jeweller's gas torch might be a better bet? Ray Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted July 11, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted July 11, 2010 Ray, I found this: http://www.reltekllc.com/primers-adhesion-promoters-for-Delrin-Acetal.htm in a quick search. Google "bonding Delrin" for more possibilities. Quote
Members Studio-N Posted July 16, 2010 Author Members Report Posted July 16, 2010 Well they are not ALL successful. Here is a POW-MIA stamp I did for a friend. The impression on the forground and background turned out good, but the lettering did not. After it is shrunk down, it tends to blur together. It should still work out good on a large plate, but I had to leave it off on the 1" stamps. Quote
LNLeather Posted July 17, 2010 Report Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) I don't know if it would work for "joining delrin pieces" but I found a great new glue that has worked in many circumstances for me... it is called Gorilla Glue. You just have to use a tiny bit and it holds Like New. Just watch out and don''t use too much, because it foams up a bit Hope this helps Edited July 17, 2010 by LNLeather Quote

LOL I had foam all over my bench the first time I tried it... we learn from experience I guess. Ray Quote
Members Studio-N Posted July 18, 2010 Author Members Report Posted July 18, 2010 ...I had foam all over my bench the first time I tried it... It's deja vu all over again. I had the same experience. They should really put a warning label on the stuff - "A little goes a long way. A lot explodes into a really long way" Quote
Members Brentlee Posted November 16, 2016 Members Report Posted November 16, 2016 I know this is an old post but how big a laser are you guys using. I tried to get one done by a mate with a 40w epilog and he couldn't seem to get any depth. I bought the machine off him second hand the other day and thought i might try a few out but just curious. Would i need to somehow vector cut the design??? still learning this laser stuff, but would love to be able to make custom stamps for my work rather than learning to carve Quote
Members Brentlee Posted November 25, 2016 Members Report Posted November 25, 2016 Thanks for the help guys Quote
BWL Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 Howdy everyone! Just throwing my thanks into the ring for Studio-N. He has just made a Makers Stamp for me it is awsome and to boot, a pleasure to work with; not found around here much. Reading a few articles, it's better than a business card. "They WILL find you" folks like to brag about they had made! I do Quote
Members Bolt Vanderhuge Posted January 16, 2017 Members Report Posted January 16, 2017 I had one made by Nick (Studio-N) as well. I have to concur that Nick is a pleasure to work with and produces very nice work. I actually need to get a couple more stamps from him. Quote
BWL Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 I need a bunch too! I'm sure he could use the extra coin. As for myself, I need the advertisment Quote
BWL Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I downloaded a picture of my makers stamp Comments welcome! Edited January 18, 2017 by Barbed Wire Leather Quote
Members blacksuit Posted January 18, 2017 Members Report Posted January 18, 2017 Nick made my makers mark as well. Couldnt be more pleased. Now if he would make a m1a1 tank stamp, he would make hero status! Quote
