cradom Report post Posted November 13, 2014 Found some old nails in the garage. Decided to try my hand at making a stamp. That's a Samsung Galaxy 3 for scale. Took about 2 hours to make it. Dremel with cut-off wheel, grinder and buffer. Couple of files. Last pic is with a Tandy B200, granted not their largest. Now I have one to do borders on belts. Assuming it works right. Might still need some polishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Sioux Saddlery Report post Posted November 16, 2014 I have made 3 tools myself just recently because I didn't have what I needed when I needed it and didn't want to wait to get one sent. Mine are very simple tools ( one beveler and a couple beaders, no fancy checkering or anything like that) but it was kind of fun to make them and have them actually work and do the job I needed them to do. Question: did you harden your tool? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cradom Report post Posted November 16, 2014 No but I did keep and use a tub of water nearby when grinding and polishing. When my fingers got warm it got dunked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
