This was made for a return customer for his beloved blade (second sheath for it from me!) My geometric stamping needs work for sure even using the grid guide but it isn't horrible for a first try.

Thanks Bill.

I think that over time as funds allow I will be replacing my newer generation Tandy tools/stamps with either vintage ones or new from higher end tool makers. I think that it will not take too much practice and I will be passing the caliber of the tool. They are not very crisp and I found aligning them difficult at time because of irregularities on the edge of the tool (same issue on the newer Tandy letter stamps - I have a vintage letter set that lines up beautifully) . Some say to take the time to file the edges even but that is a lot of work for a less than super quality impression at the end of the day.

Trouble is I tooled up with Tandy over the last 2-3 years and now regret it.

Anyhow it is better than no tools!! and my lively hood does not depend on them so I will carry on.

The Tandy geometric guide craft tool "stencil" is very useful but lighting is also a key as shadows can throw off the tool placement. lots to learn still so more practice needed.

God Bless
