Members Studio-N Posted January 12, 2015 Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 These are a couple of new plates for a roper/checkbook wallet with a warrior male and female. Size measures 3x6" on each. The plates are cut into delrin plastic. These are my favorite ones I've done to date. Probably becuase i love those types of movies and shows (the 300, Atlantis, Hercules). Cheers! Quote

makitmama Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 OK. I have an embosser that I use for metalwork and general crafts. I want plates like that! other topics will be great too! Quote
Members Studio-N Posted January 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 Wow, I love it! Where did you get them done? In my garage. 'tis what I do. OK. I have an embosser that I use for metalwork and general crafts. I want plates like that! other topics will be great too! Just check my content here for some of my other recent plates or my website for the hundreds of stamps I've produced. Quote
Members Ylide Posted January 12, 2015 Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 Fantastic work. Is the artwork yours as well? Once I get myself a shop press we may have to have a chat about what you charge. Quote
Members Studio-N Posted January 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 In this case, the original artwork was not mine. These were 3d CNC models for woodworking (cribbige board I think). When i find a good model, I try to adapt them for leatherwork. I have made a few 3d models myself (check the Alien and the facehugger and some of my other content). for the regular 2d stamps and plates, I use the laser engraver to make them. These were done on a CNC router and took 10 hours total to do (so hardly a mass production piece). I should point out, that most CNC art is free licenced so long as you are selling something made from the art and not the art files themselves. Cheers! Quote
Members kiwican Posted January 12, 2015 Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 Love that! im guessing that i would need some kind of press to "stamp" it into the leather? Quote
Members Studio-N Posted January 13, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 13, 2015 thank you. Yes, a press is necessary. the shop press does it all at once but it can be done with an arbor press. Basically arbor press has a 1" square ram. So start in one corner and press. Move over 1 inch. Rinse and repeat until you've covered the whole back. You can then come back and overlap where needed. cheers! Quote
Members builderofstuff Posted January 13, 2015 Members Report Posted January 13, 2015 These are some of the coolest you've done, hands down. I'm currently rebuilding my mill for improved accuracy and to better seal my coolant enclosure. Chris Quote
