    Default Die Cast Stamps

    Hi guys Long time no see but have been busy mind you
    lifes like that some times
    I've got a question
    I have a range of die cast letter stamps (various styles) I use on leather work but I want to get the horse head design that is on my business card made into a small stamp around 2 inches by 1 inch for stamping some of the larger products I make
    does anyone know where I could take the design and have it made into a hand stamp
    we usually stamp by hand on dampened leather and it leaves an indentation

    I'm in Bris so if anyone knows of a queensland contact that would be muchly appreciated
    but if you're in another State I'll give them a go also
    Thanx Guys
    Louise

    If all else fails, look for a manufacturing jeweller - basically you are looking at a simple casting in silver or white brass - the jeweller can carve the pattern piece in wax, show you the result & when OK it can be 'invested' and cast.

    If you want a few then they make an intermediate mold to cast more wax copies & then clean them & use the 2nd generation waxes to cast the stamps.

    Some of the 'hippie' crowd who turn up at the markets with their own lines of jewellery may be more accomodating/flexable than a 'professional'.

    Any place that does offset printing will have the contacts to get a stamping or blocking die made. Costs about $120-odd.
