Leather Tooling Machine

[StevenD]

Good day 

I'd like to know if anyone has considered making a mechanical tool with a hammer action, something similar to a tattoo machine, to eliminate having to manually hit on a stamp with a leather maul the entire day? 

I'm sure the tool would be better and you could change stamps when needed, like a drill bit for a drill!

Of course you can have a speed setting required for stamping intriqute patterns which require less speed than background stamping.

Thank you sincerely 

Steven

it's a little bit like trying to make a machine that could do oil paintings for you.  Just like in oil painting, every stroke is different.  Unless you are simply doing a repeating pattern, e.g. basketweave, then every hit of the mallet needs to be slightly different in terms of timing, pressure, etc. 

 

If you are doing a repeating pattern then this would be done with an embossing wheel instead.
