Members battlemunky Posted August 31, 2021 Members Report Posted August 31, 2021 Oh man...that is great Mike. I have no idea how you did it but it is incredible. The detail on the lettering has me baffled. I can see how you may have done Mikey but the detail in the lettering has me lost. Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 31, 2021 Members Report Posted August 31, 2021 Gorgeous work, Mike! Quote
Members maxdaddy Posted September 1, 2021 Members Report Posted September 1, 2021 Yeah man, wow! That center detail is amazing. Quote
Members SaintJoy18 Posted September 1, 2021 Members Report Posted September 1, 2021 That's absolutely incredible! As a LEO for the last 24 years that piece is something I would proudly display! The detail is amazing. I'd be lucky to get that level of crispness with a relief stamp! Quote
Members PastorBob Posted September 1, 2021 Members Report Posted September 1, 2021 I thought it was done with a stamp. Did you carve the design @immiketoo? Quote

This was done with a stamp, not hand carved but I did crisp it up with a spoon Quote
Members JayEhl Posted September 1, 2021 Members Report Posted September 1, 2021 I'll drink to that! Quote

Members jaegersapper Posted September 2, 2021 Members Report Posted September 2, 2021 Awesome work Sir Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted September 2, 2021 Author Moderator Report Posted September 2, 2021 Thanks everyone! It was my first time using a stamp and I have to say it was quite fiddly. I don’t have a shop press yet so it was quite a challenge. I actually bent the handle on my vice from hitting it with a hammer. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted September 2, 2021 Members Report Posted September 2, 2021 Ahhhh, that explains it. I was wondering how you got all the detail into the letters. Still, quite nice and sorry about the vice...and the rhyming. Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted September 2, 2021 Author Moderator Report Posted September 2, 2021 There comes a time when I have to weigh my time vs the amount I can charge for an item. Also, repeatability comes into play, and for this job a stamp was the perfect solution. Quote
