Making Your Mark!

I have just finished my first pipe that I'm happy enough with to sell. Actually have it sold even. Anyway, I'm hoping to keep making pipes due to enjoying it and the interest in my in my work.

My question, who makes your stamps for making your mark. How intricate can they be made, how do they work as far as numbering your pipes and what kind of money can one expect too pay for such a stamp?

Scroll down or search for "steel stamps".

Price varies with complexity, but most I've had made run in the $100 range - plus or minus.

Thanks Kurt, I had found that one and I emailed them. I'm waiting to hear back.

Figured I'd revive a thread instead of starting a new one...

Since the folks at A & M don't appear to have a website do you just send the image you want to their email? Is there a certain pixel size you should make the image? How big are the stamps you fellas use? When ordering do you specify how big you want the letters or just how big you want the overall stamp to be?

I think that's all I wanted to ask

Paul will make a stamp from whatever you send him. I use Gimp to create the images, then make sure they look good reduced to actual size, and send Paul the image file via email.
