Thanks Mandi for caring about our safety. I’ve been stamping for years, this video is for people who are curious about the arbor press. Not everyone is ‘able’ to stamp with just a hammer. You are correct tho, the angle for the tap and tilt is severe and doesn’t need to go quite that far back. The stamp doesn’t need to leave the ground. There was a note in the video about it but it looks like it didn’t save so I’ll be sure to fix that.
