Studio-N Report post Posted October 12, 2014 I've often been asked if I could do an embossing roll and I finally got a little time to work on one. This is done in the same delrin plastic I use for my stamp and plates. The first version of this just had the figures cut in. Because the surface is slick, it did not grab. I added a texture to it which gives the stamp enough friction to pull the leather in. This is a 1 1/2" belt blank embossed on the Speedy embosser (same as the current offering from the evil empire). This is the least flexible of the embossers, so it should work on the Tippmann and the last offering from the Evil Empire embosser or anything that uses a 1" center bore. Besides the surface preperation, I had to figure out how to safely and accurately center bore it and cut the key slot in. The real trick is getting the start to equal the end so it stops engraving after 1 revolution. There is no information out there from those that offer such things, so I've had to reinvent the wheel. But now that I've done it I can add whatever figures and patterns on rolls for use. I think if I stain this belt green it will look nice. Cheers!

raysouth Report post Posted November 8, 2014 Hello Nick, Embosser rolls are great and hope you make a lot of them. I have a few from vendors that make the brass wheels and fiberglass mixture type products. Always seeking new and interesting patterns. Let me know when you make others. God Bless.

Studio-N Report post Posted November 8, 2014 I got another done with two crossed pistols. I just need to dye and finish the strap before I can put some pictures up. I was also waiting on the CNC machine so I can use it to accurately center bore the center. Now all I need is a little time so I can make some new content. -Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
