Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 25, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted November 25, 2018 Okay, trying to search the site is pretty much exhausting. Prolly fine if ya got nuthin else to do all day? So WHO makes these stamps... I mean an ACTUAL stamp, not some font typed into a cnc somewhere looking like any other? I'm a bit confused as to why there wouldn't be a SINGLE PLACE where this info is displayed. Or maybe there is but it isn't searchable... ANYWAY.. off to check the "services" section. I've always found these "makers mark" things a bit of a small man complex, but some regular customers have actually ASKED for one .. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Clintock Posted November 25, 2018 Members Report Posted November 25, 2018 Don’t get one made unless it has a handle that you can hammer. That using a press each time gets aggravating and time consuming moving from bench to press. Just a little tip. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 25, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) I think you sposedta stamp 25 at a time.. saves 24 trips to the press BytheWay ... when you gona alter that heritage holster (.22) to cover the trigger guard, provide a hammer protection "lip", and drop the skirt so that the top of the butt is about waist high, and shorten the skirt so that the loop IS the bottom of the skirt? You knw, just a slight 'mod' Edited November 25, 2018 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members oltoot Posted November 25, 2018 Members Report Posted November 25, 2018 This may not help because it is old (50+ years) info but when I was first starting I had makers mark lines made as lines of type for setting in a printing press and then assembled them into an appropriate bundle in a holder/handle that I could whack to my heart's content then when impressions began to loose their crispness I would just change out the individual lines of which I had had to get 100 each in order to be served. Worked for 20 years until I could justify getting the real thing Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted November 25, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted November 25, 2018 I got a stamp cut to my design by a seller in China. It cost £15 - about $16.50. Time from placing order till it dropped thru my letter box, about 10 days. Its cut in brass so it can be a. used as a hammer stamp b. heated in a pyrogravure for buning in I got my stamp made to 3cm x 2cm roughly. It has an M6 thread hole on the back so I can use a handle I've made up or under the ram of a press. Link to seller; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Made-Design-Your-Logo-Leather-Seal-Wood-Stamp-Branding-Iron-Carving-Mold/382286790022?hash=item5902117d86:m:mxK2t0VgU1u9BQEIZjJLxxw I've had a few stamps made in China by different makers - they seem to go after a while. I've only ever got binary designs cut and they've managed to replicate the finest of lines Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Moderator immiketoo Posted November 25, 2018 Moderator Report Posted November 25, 2018 http://www.steelstamps.com http://www.greyghostgraphics.com https://www.facebook.com/StampsForLeatherStore/ All of these makers can help you design and make a stamp. Steel stamps are nice because they can make them incredibly small and the material will hold up to use, whereas the delrin stamps can't support the thin lines at small sizes. At least not over time. Grey ghost makes a great delrin stamp, and the cheapest option is stamps for leather. Those require a press of some kind. Quote Learnleather.com
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 25, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 25, 2018 Well, shoot! Look like everybody just doin' line art. Maybe what I need is more of an embossing plate. STILL, good to collect this info in one place fer the next fella, so appreciatecha boys No particular order ... https://www.etsy.com/shop/CustomMadeStuff https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Made-Design-Your-Logo-Leather-Seal-Wood-Stamp-Branding-Iron-Carving-Mold/382286790022?hash=item5902117d86:m:mxK2t0VgU1u9BQEIZjJLxxw http://www.steelstamps.com http://www.greyghostgraphics.com https://www.facebook.com/StampsForLeatherStore/ Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

I'm not ready to do a makers mark just yet, but had to give these a look. Found a couple of fascinating things at Steelstamps ... Who knew stamping ice and branding hot dogs was a thing! For that matter, wonder if a hot-dog brander would work for a heated makers stamp? - Bill Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 25, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 25, 2018 Even if it's just line art, that Coast Guard thing at 3G does look pretty good. Just not what I was looking for atm. Folks feel free to add others you know of (or if it's yourself, as well) and we'll have a list the next fella kin maybe NOT spend time searchin'. If they did ya a good job, why not refer 'em ? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Mattsbagger Posted November 25, 2018 Members Report Posted November 25, 2018 Sergi Neskromski. I think that’s his name. He has a running post in the stamps for sale section. He will make anything you want. I sent him a screen shot and he made me a great stamp. Brass with a handle for hammering. Quote
