Metal Stamp - Personalise your treasures

[jimi43]

Ian has described this way round as being "sunk on the stamp."
So now we know.

I thought there would be some highly technical name for it...but I can live with that...that's plain English that there!

Thanks mate! Enjoy your stamp...and don't forget we need pics when it arrives!

What is your reason for needing dates Rob?

Jim

I use dates to stamp things I make, not tools.

"BugBear 2007" or whatever.

but then I bought one (*) of these cheap (**):

(*) two, actually

Jim, I don't necessarily want to mark tools, but peices that I make. Pete (Newt) has kindly machined me a couple of 25mm brass discs and I've had them engraved with my initials and the date in Roman numerals. Hopefully, stuff that I (and others make) will last for two or three centuries and I think it would be good if the date that a piece was made was stamped on it as well as at least then someone from the future would know exactly the period when it was made - Rob

I have a set of the cheap individual letter stamps - but they are difficult to line up properly.
I generally stamp my initials with a couple of small carving chisels - a half round one and a small straight one.

Yeah - most model engineering magazines run plans for some kind of line-em-up jig every few years.

Yeh...I tried that too...it looked dreadful. Although...that being said...in times gone by a lot of owners stamped their names on planes and suchlike with those and get them beautifully aligned...

Their fonts were better too!
