NVLeatherWorx Posted August 19, 2018 Report Posted August 19, 2018 I too use Grey Ghost Graphics and have not had an issue with his product. Laser cut/formed on heavy-duty Delrin and he is fast about it. Quote Richard Hardie R. P. Hardie Leather Co. R. P. Hardie Leather Co. - OnlineR. P. Hardie Leather Co on Facebook

I'm also planning to purchase there - can you please share a photo of the stamping result ? Quote

Members JazzBass Posted January 10, 2019 Members Report Posted January 10, 2019 I have noticed that a lot of folks use a maker's mark that is a flat stamp, instead of a long tool that is struck with a hammer. It's obviously much cheaper to make, but- Questions... 1. Does pressing a stamp give better (more consistent) results than a full length tool-stamp? 2. Without an arbor press, is it sufficient to simply crank down on a C-clamp with a wood block over the stamp, and a hard surface below? Seems that would work(?). Quote Christopher J.

Members VYO Posted January 10, 2019 Members Report Posted January 10, 2019 I have quite a few of Sergey's stamps. They are excellent and I love them. They are definitely worth the wait from Bulgaria. I got my makers mark from Leather Stamp Maker - https://www.leatherstampmaker.com/ He did a wonderful job on it.

The smaller of the two stamps, just bop it with a mallet. The larger one I put in a small press due to the surface area.. and getting EVEN pressure all around. C-clamp? Maybe be okay. Worth a shot. I've seen a JILLION stamps that look like lettering on a plain background. Usually got a handle, bop with a mallet. I don't care for 'em myself --- just don't like the look. Makes my mind say "rush job" right from the start, which theoretically is not what you want people thinking when they view your work. Also, "common" graphics are a big no-no for me.... if I've seen your "logo" on every other high school football team ever -- I'm GONE Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members JazzBass Posted January 10, 2019 Members Report Posted January 10, 2019 @JLSleather Haha - know what you mean about "common" graphics and High School football logos. LOL! Interestingly though, "artistic logos" are a luxury that are practical today, only because of (relatively recent) internet searches, where anyone who saw "JLS" on a piece, could actually find you and have it result in more work. The "tried and true" (name and city, and or phone number) that may be boring, seems IMHO to have previously been the only smart way to go...but I DO like your thinking, sir Quote Christopher J.

Members battlemunky Posted January 10, 2019 Members Report Posted January 10, 2019 I'll throw another nod for AM Leathercraft. I have 2 from him and aside from the turn around time, it is excellent work. Just know it'll take a little while. Quote
