Members Bluesman Posted March 16, 2012 Author Members Report Posted March 16, 2012 That little arbor press at Harbor Freight was made for this job. It will make a perfect impression every time with little or no effort on your part. ferg Ferg, That is the first thing that came to my mind. Your arbor press. That has got to be sweet. I may just buy one to have it around. Quote If it ain't moving and should......WD40, If it's moving and shouldn't....Duct Tape. There you have it, now fix something
dirtclod Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I redid my bench a few years ago and though i'll fix it where theirs no bounce. On one end i made it solid 2x4 screwed and glued 5/8 plywood on top and it still bounced. Heck theirs still some bounce no much but some even with a 3 inch thick piece of granite. Set a full glass of water or lay a tool on your table and hit your stamp you should be able to tell if it has some bounce.

Members lwleathers Posted November 24, 2012 Members Report Posted November 24, 2012 Yes a big hammer (preferably twice the size of your stamp) and a steady solid surface is essential. You could also try branding with heat which is excellent if you don't want to scare your cat away while you do your branding. If you're interested, check out our heat embosser for leathers: https://www.etsy.com/listing/98894284/custom-leather-stamp-with-heat-embosser?
