candyleather Report post Posted May 24, 2007 Anyone could tell me where I can buy used stamping tools, the leather stamps, in good use with a reasonable cost? Craftool, Midas, Baron tools, Ivan, Kelly tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted May 24, 2007 eBay or estate sale auctions, however you will end up with a lot of tools of questionable quality or that you will seldom use. Better to call Bob Beard or Barry King and get a basic set, then add craftools as needed. If you end-up using a particular craftool a lot, get a King or Beard tool to replace it. I an a border stamper by desire (just don't like to "carve") and have about 50 or 60 craftools of various vintage that I almost never use and would not miss, but have about 10 Beard, 8 or 10 King tools and several recent Tandy craftools that I use all the time. I have Beard, King, and Main modlers that can do anything the other tools can't. I kind of draw the line where I spend more time looking for a tool than using it.
