Looks good. May I ask what sort of press you use?

thank you. I test these with a 1 ton arbor press (which has a 1" square ram). I start in one corner, press them move over 1 inch. Rinse and repeat until it is done.

If I want to do it all at once, I've got a 12 ton shop press that can do the job.

I have found that if I put a piece of rubber or thick leather underneath the piece I'm going to press, it helps to push the leather up into the stamp for a good

deep embossing, especially on thin (4/5 oz) leather like used on a wallet back.

Cheers!

Can I ask how you made the back plate itself? Carved and then cast? Lost wax? Just carved out of the block of plastic?

I've done a bit of casting myself. It ain't as easy as you would think to get it perfect.

Nice work!

Thanks,

Michelle

Hello Michelle,

These are directly cut with a CNC router into 1/2" thick delrin.

These could probably be cast from these models, but it is just as easy to cut them individually now.

Cheers!
