battlemunky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintJoy18 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorBob Report post Posted September 1, 2021 I thought it was done with a stamp. Did you carve the design @immiketoo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

immiketoo Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
