I'm going to cut a 5x5cm delrin stamp for 3 lucky bushcrafters to celebrate my 40th.

All you need to do is post below, one entry per person.

Closing date 19th July. You will need to provide me with a 5x5 black and white SVG design. If you get it to me by 8pm on Thursday 21st I'll be able to cut it that evening and post it or give it to you during the first week of the moot. Otherwise there's no rush, it'll just get done when your design is done. I won't be able to help much with your SVG unless work gets a little less hectic, so bear that in mind before going for it.

I'm not the copyright police, but please make sure you've got the rights to the image you're having engraved.

nb don't need to post your SVG here or anything, just reply below. Will be picked by random number generator.

God, I wish I knew what that all meant.
Sounds exciting, but I'm damned if I know what you're talking about.
Which means it's probably not for me, but best of luck to those who do know what it is.
SVG is a vector graphic. I mean, it can be done with a standard paint bitmap, it'll just look blocky. Delrin is a type of plastic which isn't great for heat.

When I have a chance to play with the CNC a bit more I'll be able to mill some brass ones. But for now, limited to Delrin :)

Many happy returns, I turned 40 this year, quite to my shock.....oh to be 23 again.....or even 28 :)

Please put my name into the hat as well, I have had an idea for the while, and should be good.

Well since there's only 4 people who entered (unless you were also entering Mr Fenna) so I'll do them all. Just PM me your designs!

As has been said that's very good of you young man. I still have no idea what sort of format you want an image in though. I was thinking of a traditional Yorkshire rose with the hope of using it as a leather stamp.

Same thought here. my beloved wife and children have botanical names, so thinking a mix of name sake leaves. I'll try and do something over the weekend.

@tim_n I can do a jpeg or tiff or similar, but cannot do SVG, any guidance very much welcome, and thank you again

A jpeg is on it's way but I am an IT idiot ... I hope the image is usable ... if not - no worries, just leave me out of the project ...:)
Cheers
