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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :blush: ...and boy do I have practice swatches all over the place :lol:

I got my stamp from Indypbear at this forum. Made of the really hard plastic material Delrin and works really well.

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.
