Do you know if they sell these in "fonts"? So I can stamp letters Quote

So I can stamp letters Yes, they sell sets of letter stamps. They range from about 3/8 inches high to about 1 inch high. They are mostly upper case letters [capitals] but sometimes they do matching lower case letters. The range and availability comes and goes. eg. I got a set of upper case letters from Tandy but the lower case had been long discontinued - I found a set in a US dealer's old stock heres an example; https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/craftool-standard-alphabet-sets Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Still researching those, I think I will start small and simple I have a one ton press that I use to punch holes in my belts. I use wood spacers for each size belt to ensure the holes are centered. I have three old Stimpson rivet,snap presses that I picked up off of eBay. Solid cast iron wonderful press. I have each set up for a particular rivet or snap task. I made or modified the tooling for each. I also have a old 5-10 ton not sure which arbor press that I may set up for small cricket press.

Members AA3JW Posted May 13, 2019 Members Report Posted May 13, 2019 I ended up buying the one that Harbor Freight sells. It works ok for stamping, but not really for die cutting. I found a good deal on a techSew on Craig's list. It looks much the the Co;t in the above picture. It sews really well up to 1/2 inch leather. Quote
