bmiller Report post Posted March 29, 2012 I am interested in getting a very small custom stamp made with my initals. I have a stamp that is oval with my name, but many of the items I make are just too small for that size of stamp. Any suggestions on who makes such a thing? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks When you say "branding tool" do you intend to get it hot and brand the leather? Or are you looking for a maker's mark stamp? I don't have a stamp yet so I use my wood burning tool with a fine point tip and "sign" my things with that burning my initials or signature into the leather on the back side.

I hadn't thought about burning my initials in, but it may be exactly what I do until I get an actual stamp made. I did run across a company yesterday called Columbia Marking Tool in Michigan. They make custom stamps of many sizes, even very small (1/4"). I think I will look into that at some point. Will try the burning tool in the mean time.

Sylvia Report post Posted March 30, 2012 Thank you Sylvia. I hadn't thought about burning my initials in, but it may be exactly what I do until I get an actual stamp made.

Will try the burning tool in the mean time. You are welcome! I am glad I could help a bit. While you have the wood burning tool out... try burning a design on some leather... just make sure it's not chrome tanned stuff. You can actually remove material and it ends up looking carved. Just char.... then scrape with your modeling tool. repeat if necessary. Katsass, a member here, makes his own brands from coat hangers and he heats them with a torch. If you can bend a wire into a logo shape that might work too. Another thing you can try is jeweler's stamps, they can come really small. But a set of letters can run you a $50 or so.

Thanks If you're interested in a Maker's Mark style stamp (to imprint wet leather, not a hot branding type), I can make that for you. contact me at info@lasergiftcreations.com if interested. thanks, brenda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

electrathon Report post Posted November 22, 2012 If you only want your initials I would suggest getting a few letters of letterpress print type. Clamp them togeather, heat them in the over to 300 degrees and push them on the damp leather for a half second, done. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
