Hey all. I'm new to pipecrafting and was wondering where one would purchase a name stamp for the stem. I know that some pipe crafters use a Dremel tool, but my handwriting is bad enough, I can't imagine trying it with a Dremel.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chadd

It's sideways, but if you turn your monitor onto it's right side you can read it.
Paul's stamps are very sharp. I just press it by hand, slightly rocking the stamp back & forth as I roll it across the shank.

Gentlemen,
Thank you all for the last few posts. I've had design artwork for a new logo stamp hanging around for months, just never got around to using it. I've used Harper manufacturing for my others. I get heat flashes, heartburn, headaches....and just plain nervous when it comes to stamping.
Stamps are too large, and (too dull) in my opinion. Thanks for the pics Rad, I also remember looking at your work in Richmond, Todds as well and wondered who cut your stamps. Thanks again for the info, think I'll give Paul a call.

Rolando Negoita's stamps are pretty much straight at least on the pipes I own and have owned.
Lindner is ...... wel Lindner, they look laser cut. This is probably an inordinately long process for Mike. He makes pretty amazing smoking pipes though.
Tyler uses crayon so what do you expect. ( I don't own one yet but hey it's true he uses crayon).
Todd has generally had a few scotches when his stamps go on so what do you expect to todd's defense though I own some StOA where it's a wonder there was enough "usable" pipe for the damn stamp so kudos for that.
Roush is pretty good, The silver markings are always dead on though.
Jody's all over the place.
Paul Tatum is pretty straight..
Heeschen is all over the place.
That's all I got in front of me at the moment.

I *hate* stamping pipes. It's the one operation where you can't see what you're doing, exactly, and where you can't do it a little bit at a time and check on how it's going. It requires a considerable application of force, as well as precision -- two things that go together only with quite a bit of practice.
