Scout stamps for embossing leather

[CaptainBeaky]

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

Aha! Perfect - I have an arbour press kicking around in the garage somewhere (and now I know what it is as well )

Much better than piling kitchen scale weights on top of a board

Thanks Dave

 

[Dave Budd]

I ended up using a press that is normally used to fit the bottle top to home brewed beer Just stuck teh stamp into the cap fitter adn it worked a treat (though not as much pressure as I would've liked)

 

[Logit]

have you got any of these and the fire stamps left?

just planning on starting my leatherwork journey and these would be a welcome addition

 

[Kerne]

Logit - You have a PM

I'm going to have to pay you a visit one of these days Alf, you're turning out some beautiful things. I want to make a first knife for my son, so if you don't mind me bothering you I'll be in touch.


Cheers, Michael.

I've seen the results of Dave Budds sheaths, very impressive. Can I have 2 sets of these stamps,

I think Dave got a smaller stamp than most.

Its not a good idea to post a complete email address.

 

[Kerne]

Laura;

PM sent. I echo Brancho's advice as well - ask the mods to remove the post with your email in.

Good afternoon

Are these stamps still available - our Scout troop is now starting
leather projects and this stamp has not been easy to find -
if the price and details could be emailed to me would be great.

I’ve had a go at the Scout Association logo after several people asked me about it. Here are the results:

The sizes (of the image, not the overall stamp) are approx:
Small 30 x 26mm
Medium 37 x 32mm
Large 46 x 40 mm

I was surprised at the detail of the ropework on the small one – I reckon this would be a good size for a 40mm belt. Prices? I did say that I would charge £4.50 for “standard” designs and £8 - £10 for custom designs, but since there seems to be quite a few out there who want these and, as the Scout’s are as worthy a cause as one can find, then they come in at £4.50 each (I know this sounds daft as they are different sizes, but I have to use the same amount of material for each – I just cut away more for the smaller ones.) Want a set of three? Then £11.00 a set (since I can save on P&P).

Word of warning: I’ve used up a lot of the scrap material experimenting recently so if there may be a slight delay until more becomes available.

Incidentally, one of my colleagues is making a belt for his lad who is in the Scouts and I have made him a campfire logo as well – I will post a picture of this as soon as I can.

Note to Tony and the Mods:
The proceeds are going to buying materials for the kids at the school, but if you feel I ought not to do this until I have paid to be a "Maker" then I will pay up asap.

HI folks;

Hagar - tried to pm you: not sure if it got through as I got a message saying you have chosen not to receive pms.

Snooky - pm sent.

I've retired and now have less access to the laser than before BUT - I'm looking to set myself up with one and get back into full scale production in October - watch this space!!!
