MilitaryCollector Report post Posted January 19, 2019 Hello all, I was wondering if anyone would know how to make leather stamps. I would want to make my own and not spend too much. Any ideas/tips/instructions for a beginner would be especially helpful. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattsbagger Report post Posted January 19, 2019 There are some posts on here of people using bolts and nails. They just grind and file them them to the shape they are looking for. Some videos on YouTube also I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisash Report post Posted January 19, 2019 You can use 3D Printers, Etching methods, CAM machines and laser to make stamps with various costs and life time of the stamp This is one i have just made using 3D Printer using PETG filament Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilitaryCollector Report post Posted January 19, 2019 Oh........... Well I don't have any idea how to use 3D/CAD to make stamps, also what kind of steel would be best for a life-time type stamp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisash Report post Posted January 19, 2019 I don't think the steel makeup makes any difference as not a great deal of wear bouncing onto wet leather One of the software packages is "Fusion 360" and another "Tinkercad" both are free to hobby users, a few companies on the forum and ebay etc will make stamps for you, but not a cheap option making steel ones unless you are selling the end product Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maroonbulldog Report post Posted January 21, 2019 FWIW I’ve used a listing on eBay ( search “ custom makers stamp logo... “ prices $15-$27. ) From Hong Kong. I’ve ordered several at one time and they gave me a pretty deep discount as well. Just make sure you BUY THEIR HANDLE! I’ve been very pleased and have made 3 separate purchases for custom stamps from them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
