viejo Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Well, I think I've broken my last knuckle trying to get a clean imprint from various stamps, AND I didn't have to pay Tandy $500 bucks for it.... Harbor Freight had in stock an ARBOR PRESS that's good for 1000# press weight for 35$. It's about a dollar a pound, but I spent about 30 minutes last night and turned out a dozen coasters with seven stamps each and didn't even break a sweat. I LIKE IT!

Big O Report post Posted October 26, 2010 I haven't BROKEN any knuckles, but I've sure banged up the first one on my left index finger.... I wish they'd just make longer punches..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viejo Report post Posted October 26, 2010 It was just the one, but Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez did it hurt. Put me off of leatherworking until it quit. And everytime I went to stamp something (other than a basketweave) there'd be that part of my mind..... Anyway, the best part was saving over 450 bucks. That I can live with.
