Tree Reaper Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 The only thing I didn't mention is the 1/2 inch router bit is a half a hair too large to get a friction fit so when I inverted the stamp to place it on the leather the individual stamps would have fallen out so to keep them secure I used rubber cement in the groove of the jig and it did the trick.

Members BDAZ Posted February 17, 2014 Members Report Posted February 17, 2014 I made this a couple days ago. It's a letter stamp jig and could probably be modified to work with most stamps. It's working great for me. Since the materials are cheap and easy to drill, someone with more talent than I have could probably make jigs for letters on a curve or in a circle. Freakin Brilliant! Since all my names are vertical, the I is always a bear. I am getting it perfect now but with lots of effort. Your way I can have all the letters pressed tight and aligned, then tap an initial impression or maybe use a steel bar on the arbor press, then go back and arbor each individual letter. I'm going to do some testing later toda. Thanks! Bob Quote
