UKRay Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatheroo Report post 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.

Hilly Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Srigs Report post 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.

Shorts Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
