Scout stamps for embossing leather

[Kerne]

Laser engraving - wish I had the skill to whittle them!

My scouts are making knives at the moment and I saw the pics and thought "brilliant, put that on the sheath"

I think that the smallest may be a little large still though Is there any chance you will be able to do that rather cool stamp a bit smaller? Maybe something like 20mm high?

Watch this space - I'll give it a go. Actually, the small one is only just over 20mm.

Dave I reckon the small may just go an sheath as I was planning to use it on my next sheath which is for an Escouts member.

 

[Dave Budd]

depends how 'in your face' you like the stamping Alf also, these are only small knives.

Kerne, Looking at the picture it does look like a bit over 20mm as you say; I was just going by your dimensions of 30mm high in the original post I've a few weeks til we get to that stage, so maybe I will have to give it a go

PM on it's way, Dave.

Dave can I have a look the design as I think my method maybe fiddly for my scouts.

 

[Dave Budd]

I'm planning on either an old arbour press I have knocking about or getting a toggle press

Those stamps are great, really good detailing, I especially liked the campfire one and the smallest Scout emblem.

Here is my stamp on a scandi sheath the leather is 2.5 mm and was tooled before stamping so not as crisp as it could be

 

[Stew]

That works really well.

 

[Kerne]

Looking good, Alf. I love seeing what people get up to with the stamps.

 

[Kerne]

BTW - I have 2 full sets available plus one middle size and two small stamps. Any takers?

 

[WolfCub]

Yes please to 1 set . Sending you a P.M.

 

[brancho]

The stamp was made with the smallest one as were my woggles

Hi, I have been searching for a 'Tulip' flower stamp and came accross this forum. Your designs are great and they look fantastic. I don't have a drawing, but I am interested in the Tulip flower head only as it is to go onto a tab as this is the logo of my clothing. What size do you make these in please?
Many thanks.

 

[MikeE]

A set for me too, please! And a camp fire if any left?

Hi, is there any chance of getting a Guide badge stamp? - my Guides would love to have one?
By the way…
Our centenary year starts on the 4th September, 100 years ago a group of girls turned up at the Crystal Palace rally and told B.P. they were the Girl Scouts - he was less than impressed!
Apparently we have a documentary - BBC4 Sunday 9pm

Do modern scout uniforms have any leather in them, do they still wear the old scout belt ?

I still have mine, though no way it fits anymore, complete with brands from varoius campsites I stayed at, Wallesby forest, Gilwell, Hesley wood, West Country Jamboree 1986, was thinking to chuck it on ebay, as me and scouting have parted company.

Also have an Unworn Wolf cub belt and a rather battered Boy Scouts belt,

My old campfire blanket went to a new GSL years ago, it covered in badges.

Still have my Queen Scout's award badge though, that and my wood badge.
