Contributing Member UKRay Posted May 6, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted May 6, 2008 I'm looking for a custom made 'maker' stamp to emboss onto my work. I can't find anywhere to get one in the UK - has anyone got any ideas - and how much would I have to pay to get something made? I would also be very interested to see examples of other people's maker stamps and, hopefully, look forward to recognising a few! Quote
Ambassador leatheroo Posted May 6, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted May 6, 2008 hey ray, one of our members makes great makers stamps. Dbarleather made my stamp for me. I live in australia and it was far cheaper for him to make it and send it to me than to get one made in australia. You can send him your artwork or discuss with him what you need. Quote
Hilly Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 Dbarleather made mine, too, and shipped it the same day as I put in my order! I had it 2 days after that. Very fast, and the stamp is excellent. Quote
Contributing Member ClayB Posted May 6, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted May 6, 2008 Jeff Mosby at Grey Ghost Graphics can make you a stamp with your design on it. Click here for his brochure. Quote
Members anne newkold Posted May 6, 2008 Members Report Posted May 6, 2008 Jeff Mosby made mine too Quote
yaklady Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 Jeff made mine, too, and I highly recommend him. I think he could make anything you want. He does excellent work, and he's quick. Kathy Quote
Members Srigs Posted May 8, 2008 Members Report Posted May 8, 2008 Do what I did... Go to a local tool and die technical school and have them make one for you. Mine turned out great and I helped a student learn how to do the work. Win-Win for everyone. Took about 6 weeks from start to end and was priced right. Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted May 8, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted May 8, 2008 Thanks for all your help people. I have contacted the good folk you suggested and hope to have my new stamp very soon. Ray Quote

Members Shorts Posted June 16, 2008 Members Report Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I got my maker stamp from Dbar Leather. I'm really happy wth it, Daryl did a nice job. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a stamp. Daryl, I attached a pic of your proof. So far, my practice swings haven't been enough to equal a nice even mark yet ...and boy do I have practice swatches all over the place Edited June 16, 2008 by Shorts Quote
TomSwede Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 I got my stamp from Indypbear at this forum. Made of the really hard plastic material Delrin and works really well. Tom Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 16, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 16, 2008 ArtS, that is a really nice stamp. Very creative. Quote
Members AndysLeatherHouse Posted June 29, 2008 Members Report Posted June 29, 2008 i had Henry A. Evers make my stamp... a huge honkin piece of O1 tool steel...not the cheapest out there but the best..... http://www.henryaevers.com/ Quote
Bob Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 This stamp was made about 15 years ago. It was quite an ordeal to get it. Some people, you can NEVER prepay for the work. Enough said.... It toke many years, but I did finially get three sizes in all. This one is the largest for saddle work. Quote
Members Gremlin Posted July 1, 2008 Members Report Posted July 1, 2008 Wow, some very nice and unique makers stamps shown here. Mine are made by Jeff at Grey Ghost and pretty simple in design. Quote
Members Noah Posted August 3, 2008 Members Report Posted August 3, 2008 I saw this place on ebay but not sure how good they are. I was going to come here and ask. Anyone know if this is a half way good stamp. He has a couple of auctions {buy it now} for different ones. http://cgi.ebay.com/Personalized-leather-m...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
ArtS Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Grey Ghost made mine and he was great to work with and did a great job. ArtS Quote
