artycpt Report post Posted May 8, 2013 One more for blackriver Great to work with. The font on my makers stamp didn't come out very well from the image I sent and they reworked it with a better font and sent me both stamps. Awesome customer service.

lightningad Report post Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I got a very nice brass stamp from LWLeather.com (they advertise on this site) and the web address will take you to Etsy. mines a 3x3cm square - be warned though, you will need a decent amount of force to ensure a clean impression. I am gonna buy an arbor press to get the stamp consistent. the detail is incredible - you can even see the Roosters eye on the leather and its almost microscopic!

keplerts Report post Posted May 19, 2013 Do you need a "Arbour Press" to use these or other makers marks? Or, does a good mallet work just as well? Just wondering what most use. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leatherstrap1 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 To be honest I have used a good mallet with a durlon stamp but I was always wondering in the back of my head. ''Will this crack if I whack it too hard". You can get nylon ones from Tandy that are for hitting with a mallet but as with all tools I would only use them as they should be used.

lwleathers Report post Posted May 20, 2013 So, the $38 stamp should not be used on an arbor press? Hi there, the $38 one is only 8mm thick and we do not recommend using with an arbor press because after prolong usage, it tends to crook. We recommend the 25mm thick one for arbor press.
