They're here! many thanks.

Mine arrived, they were to small, and the wrong way around what a knightmare, never mind.
as stated I have started another small group buy on bb, if anyone is interested, this one will be for 4 people, so that there is a little more space for designs, if you are interested please just let me no, have got me art work nearly sorted now.

So excited And not too bad for a demented first attempt at leather stamping, with my own designs too! Spandit, you're an absolute angel for making this possible for all of us, I can't tell you how pumped I am with them!

I think I'd made the tyre print a little heavy, should have allowed a little more negative space on the tyre centres but hey ho... to make a repeat pattern easier, I might cut a little groove at each side of the pattern area on the edges. However I was far too excited to be in any way neat, it was all about thumping it wit' 'ammer

 

[Stew]

I think the tyre idea is great. I would be tempted to try overlap the half tread onto a previous full tread rather than trying to get the two halves to match properly.

 

[mountainm]

I clamped mine instead of hammering. I find it gives a crisper edge.

 

[DaveBromley]

Mine is wicked and I was well impressed by how quick it came. I wasn't expecting it to take a week or so.

Just pressed firmly into cased leather!

Thanks for all your hard work mate!

[spandit]

Thanks for all the pics, people! Glad they (finally) came good! I've redesigned (un)LuckyLee's logo for him and e-mailed it so hopefully his stamps in future should be what he requires.

ohh, top tips, and I'll try the clamping on the individual stamp too its smashing to see everyones stamps realized in leather and the traditional bcuk supportivness for us noob users

 

[spandit]

Hammering could damage the stamp and might result in an uneven impression. Also run the risk of hitting the leatherwork. Clamping is the best way

Forgive me guys but i am quite lost here. Can someone PM me with details of what is going on here! As i am extremely interested in a stamp of my own!!
Cheers!

 

[DaveBromley]

i think you might be out of luck mate, as this one has just come to fruition and i cant see Spandit wanting to do another one after all the bother its put him through!

Speak to Luckylee - he's looking to do another plate.

 

[Stew]

I'm happy. Wasn't sure how well the detail would come though but it's crisp enough for me.

Not bad for just a quick squish.

Need to play with a couple of clamps together or a wider face for this one!

 

[spandit]

That looks good, Stew, was a bit worried about yours as the text was quite small but it's turned out well!

 

[Stew]

Me too, but in a not too worried if it didn't work way.

Certainly couldn't go smaller!
