Well, I was hoping that ordering domestic would be of a benefit, it wasn't.

$110.00 (stainless stamp with peg for my press) and three and a half weeks, I have yet to see my stamp.

Hopefully he will come thru. He has a high rating and good reviews on Etsy.

Sheesh.....

I would prefer to give my money to a local worker; but when there isn't one I have to buy from abroad

I have bought many things from Wuta. I like their products just fine.

I have no problems with buying things from over seas. I just thought with exchanging instructions and data a language barrier may hamper the process. 

Hopefully, this guy will get it together. It's still a little early for internet flaming of a small business.

It would need to be relatively small so I could fit it on items like knife sheaths and wallets. Likely about an inch. Would this process still work for that size?

Well, . . . I went out to the shop, . . . and I just could not get the wire to bend like I really wanted it to do.  If the scorpion were 2, 2 1/2, or 3 inches long, . . . it would work really well I think.

You can unbend a small paper clip, . . . put it on a dampened piece of veggie tan, . . . put it under the arbor press, . . . you'll see it makes a really nice impression.

My 72 year old eyes and fingers just are not quite up to bending that wire in that intricate a pattern for the 1 inch size.

I'd probably opt for one of the Hong Kong options, . . . sure looks like the right price to me.

May God bless,

Dwight

Thank you so much for trying that out for me Dwight! I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. I will keep it in mind for larger pieces, it sounds like a great option.

Support the USA.

If I lived in the US I'd buy US, but I'm not there so I buy where I can get things from.

By the way I have bought supplies from the US too - cos suppliers there had what I wanted,

A couple of points which stop me from buying more; 1: import taxes in my country 2: the sellers, either will not sell to over-seas or simply do not answer inquiries

Solid electrical wire is hard drawn, and will be much easier to work if you anneal it first. Brass wire, too.

1 question no one has asked and to me is important to know, what kind of leather are you putting your mark on? If it's chrome tanned, wetting and pressing is not going to work well so you are going to need something solid like what N-Studio does on aluminum so it can be heated. If it's veg tanned, you can get someone like DZ Tech in the Valley to make you a stamp on a 3D printer and will probably cost less then the gas to come to the valley to get it.
