Thank you Dekeros! My wife needed this solution for her custom leather goods and your simple design will allow me to create a jig for her.

Oh man I needed this a few months ago. I had a hell of it time trying to get those things straight. In the end I just decided to call it "rustic".

haha. Sorry! I made this a while ago. I guess I had to wait until you were finished before posting it. :-) Haha. I love the "rustic" word that can save any project. It's like the word "henka" we sometimes use as a "variation" of a technique when practicing martial arts (if the technique was somewhat flawed, plenty instructors gets away with a henka). :-) Thanks my friend! All the best to you!!

@@dekeros-recreationalwoodwo6456 I was put into a trance by that word "henka" once - we were out having dinner dinner and I'd had a few beers and a couple of whiskeys and was getting sleepy - one of the kids there - about 9 years old - went through about 300 pokemons in a book explaining "This one changes into this one (change into = henka)". It went on for about an hour or more - I think some minor brain damage occured lol. His mother rescued me in the end.

In the past I have used a 5x7 dot font, I print the number onto a sticky label or tape/ it to the work piece then slowly tap in each dot by hand with a very fine sharp punch making sure to centre the punch on each dot. Time consuming but it does leave a straight consistent mark.

You saved my life!! I always had a problem with punching letters. Thanks a million.

Ohhhh I don’t have a punch set...yet. My wife isn’t going to be happy with you. No really...I’ve always looked at punches and thought, “How are you supposed to line these things up,” sort of like writing on a blank page without any lines on it. Good idea!

Another great idea and well done. Now you need to make one to stamp around a part with a radius. I used to just use a straight board to hold the stamps against to marks loose pieces for foundry patterns but I like the jig you made it sure keeps them spaced nicely. Great work

Hey buddy! Sorry for my late reply. Thank you very much! :-)

work out the thickness of the die and the required spacing between each digit, that way you can make spacers to go in the slot to keep the stamped digits evenly spaced. for example if the die has a 4mm digit and you want 1mm spacing between digits make a series of 5mm blocks to fitt the slot in the jig, after each strike move the die along by one block.

@southernfinefinishesllc8029

Жыл бұрын

Would just leaving the previous letter die in place as he did, not space tht letters evenly? Or are you saying if you wanted more space than the dies side by side provide?

This is so wonderful and I need it so badly. The problem: I just do not understand how to do all of that. It is just too much for my little brain. It seems like many others were helped by your video though.

I'm so sorry for my late reply! I didnt get any notice from YT. I'm sorry, I don't sell them and I would happily give it to you, knowing it would beuseful to you, but the problem is that the metal stamps has different outer sizes. My set is maybe not exactly the size you have, depending on the brands of the stamps. I dont know if you are using tape as a reference line today, but that is what I used before making this. Hope that helps somewhat.
