A jig so I can edge stamp on the arbor press, and he wouldn't have to hear me pounding on a dead cow from a mile away..... I couldn't wait to try it out......it's GREAT!!

Members Vikti Posted April 22, 2011 Members Report Posted April 22, 2011 Is it steel or aluminum? Now that I have a press myself I was starting to think of ideas for something similar. Something to talk to my machinist next week when I take my press ram to him for making me my holes. Damon Quote
dirtclod Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 If theirs a trade school close by and they have a machinest shop / class i bet they would do it for little to nothing. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.

STRONG magnets, I have to really try to budge it. Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Members Shorts Posted April 22, 2011 Members Report Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Rayban, nice work. I can squirrel together a piece of 1/2" square stock and some strap(no machinist nearby). Can you show how the magnets are placed under there? This is good stuff yall. Looks like I might be able to do some stamping afterall Edited April 22, 2011 by Shorts Quote

Members LilRay Posted April 22, 2011 Members Report Posted April 22, 2011 This would be perfect for me. I have a hard time holding stamps straight.(Disabled). Especially if the guide fence could be made movable for things like basket stamps. No more crooked half impressions or twisted stamps between strikes. I'd like to know if your friend might make another of these for profit. Let me know;). God Bless, Ray Quote Ray
Members leathervan Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 I have a 3/8 chuck that I can use on my press and it works well. I need a 1/2 inch for the larger leather punches. These normally have a single left hand thread screw that locks them onto the shaft. http://www.google.co...ed=0CDMQ8wIwAg# How do you attack the chuck to arbor steel square piece(the piece where a hole would be drilled to fit the stamp handle) Quote
