Thanks Brian @RockyAussie

Funnily enough, I've been watching that Kingsley on ebay. Do you think an old machine like that will have enough pressure to get deep enough into the leather. I think these machines were only made for gold foiling, until the pneumatic ones come into production??

Very good point about the letters. I'm usually fairly logical, but I didn't consider that. 

The second link you included is a duplicate of the Kingsley on ebay. Are you able to send the one you were referring to....   Match that with this to get any letter holder you could want...

Cheers,

George

Sorry My bad....https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kingsley-Hot-Stamping-Machine-Type-Holder-LOT-fits-a-single-Line-Machine/173132396868?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D50543%26meid%3D5560113a07d24188899cb4ad89fe337a%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D9%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D253584348622%26itm%3D173132396868&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

I think with the letter sets it will work very well for pressure and definition. I do have a pneumatic one with a timer and all and to be honest it is in storage as it takes too long in use and the transport system for lining up is too slow as well. By hand pressure you can get a feel for what is right pretty quickly and the mucking around and testing to set how many seconds and how much air pressure etc are just a pitb. For what you are wanting I would go with the Kingsley. If you need to do very large numbers of repetitive steps then the one I have I could part with. You are welcome to come up and spend a few hours learning how to do this embossing if you like.

Thanks Brian @RockyAussie

That's very helpful. It's been hard for me to get a clear understanding about the pressure element. 

Do you happen to know anyone in Adelaide that I could get some professional training from? Unfortunately with a 6month old and 3 year old, I won't be traveling anytime soon :(

I cant say whether it is good or not as I am not sure if the handle would give you the leverage for good embossing into leather. Take into account the voltage difference 110 against 240 if you haven't already. There is a member on here from Adelaide @dikman who is quite helpful and may know someone there he could suggest could help with some training on embossing.

I've actually just jumped on your website. 

Love your creations. 

Do you work with crocodile leather only?

I'm looking for a local designer to create some custom designs for our launch collection.

If not, can you recommend any ateliers or workshop designers that can create in semi-volume qualities?

Cheers,

I have sent you a PM. 95% of the products we make is with crocodile for a variety of croc farms and such but we do use other leathers as well for other people such as the leather ring boxes for this customer https://www.amonie.com.au/collections/leather-boxes/products/light-grey-leather

and pouches for the prisons and so on. If you can fill me on the products you want I may be able to help further one way or the other.

Here is a link on where I show how the ring boxes are made for this customer. I keep a stock of them here and monogram them almost daily for her.
