3 Tips for Metal Stamping with Design Stamps - From Beaducation Live, Episode 9

[@kraftekaryn]

Hi, I'm new to metal stamping, about a month, and I have learned alot from your videos. I do use the stamping guide stickers, it really helps keep my stamping straight. Haven't perfected the tilt n tap yet, so I always hit two to three times.

Does the thickness of the steel bench block make a difference? I got the 2 pound mallet and I still can't get a good impression with the design stamps. My bench block is pretty thin...less than a quarter inch. I have tried the tilt method as well. I am wondering if I would have better luck with a thicker block.

It can, this is what we use: beaducation.com/products/steel-bench-block-2-5-x-2-5?_pos=1&_sid=f491c5e1e&_ss=r beaducation.com/products/steel-bench-block-4-x-4?_pos=2&_sid=f491c5e1e&_ss=r

Does the annealing work in stainless steal too?

Could you make a video (or do you have one) of a double-balled silver wire that goes through beads or stones and through a stirrup or saddle (don't know what you call it) of silver?

[@beaducation]

Here is a video that talks about a double balled wire a bit - beaducation.com/online_classes/124-dewdrop-pendant-and-earrings?cat=4 Hope this helps!

Hi I recently bought some impressart stamps metal blanks etc.... I noticed the metal bending after I stamp, is there a way to make it straight again?

[@beaducation]

Yes this happens as you move the metal. Use a plastic mallet and tap it back flat on your bench block. beaducation.com/p/18-jewelry-making-tools-plastic-mallet
