Who's Currently Making the Best Stamp for Pipes?

Post by Red »

Can anyone advise me on a company (or person) who can make a good sharp stamp? I worked with A&M, but that was 20 yrs ago, and I don't know if Paul is still at it?? Also, I don't remember exactly how I handled the design - I may have drafted exactly what I wanted, but I seem to remember, I sent a sketch and got back an approximated proof that had probably been done by CAD. The result was rather "clunky". I'd like to get something that is leaner and cleaner, done with a little more of an aesthetic touch. Any advice? Thanks.

Paul is still at it. I know there is some work done to your design in case there are issues (stamps have its quirks) but I'm not aware of any CAD thing - I *think* they use simple drawing programs to refine the design. I think you shouldn't have any issue now.

I used Buckeye Engraving. They did a hell of a job. All I did was tell them kinda what I wanted and they nailed it. I think I paid about $90 for it and it took about 2 weeks after I okayed the proof.

www.steelhandstamps.com is their website.
