I think WAY more DIY videos should use this format. Going through several iterations with varied skill level is such a useful way to go about it. I've seen many tutorials that were either at absolute beginners level or full on technical expertise, when I was actually looking for something inbetween. Thank you SO MUCH for this.

[@TheKawaiiFilipino]

this video deserves way more views. thank you so much for the many different options. im surprised polymer clay just flew over my head as an option. will be making some soon!!!!

If you'd like an alternative handle, give cabinet knobs a try. Sometimes you can find plain wooden ones in a pack of 4 or 6 for not a lot, or even a crystal glass variety. Your detailing of the clay method has solved a puzzle I've had for a while; namely, a method that would let me use the design on an existing coin as a seal. Bravo!

[@jimmysgameclips]

Might take the wooden handle off of an old tool of mine. Also that burning technique is surprisingly good

[@H3rmit_]

Came here cuz I just wanted to learn a good way to make a stamp to seal a one-off envelope, watched the whole thing cuz this was suprisingly high quality!

[@MH-hv7oq]

Tip for those with 3-D printers. Print the mirrored model you want as a mold, then use the clay on that mold to get a good product.

I liked the video because you were making stamps instead of using stamps from places like Amazon, like nearly every other video in this category. I subbed because you incorporated spent shell casings.

[@sophiemunt8826]

Wow these videos are such high quality! From the audio, to the camera angles and even just the aesthetic of the workshop. Of course the content is amazing too.

I love watching you work. Your woodworking is absolutely gorgeout...I'm still trying to figure out how to make the stamp heads. I think the clay option is my best option -- your dragon casting looks fantstic. Really enjoyed this uplooad. New subscriber. Happy Thursday. Kim

[@justinobservation2455]

The video is great, 5⭐️. but “DIY” should have an asterisk nowadays. Maybe it should say “DIY if you have a wood turning lathe, a belt sander, a bench grinder etc…” But EXCELLENT job on that sliding lock using the shell casings. Masterful.

[@27POP27]

From level 3 this vid was just so freaking classy omg

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

👌😄 *Excellent!! For another 'beginner level' metal one, perhaps could try punching the desired seal design down into a metal bottle cap? Don't punch all the way through, but just deep enough that the wax has a proper channel to go into; enough that the design will show up. Tfs!!* ☺️👍

[@cooke_isobel]

I am loving the deathly hallows symbol

[@FinalParadox]

Use 3D printer and dip your stamps in water before you make a seal to prevent them from melting. Works flawlessly.

[@DarkKar]

Was that a Smash Bros. Home Run sound I heard at 9:02? I want to call that LoFi editing, so subtle.

[@firelordkushroll]

Can you use regular wood for the seal? Or is it like too porous or something? Maybe some polyurethane on it so the wax can come off easy?

[@1AKIBAYOSHI]

Instead of granite or tiles, baking paper works just as well~

[@NickMartinelliTV]

Yes! The reason why I prefer a stone or porcelain is for heat dissipation, baking paper takes a long time for the wax to solidify enough to stamp. If you're doing a run for wedding invites you'd want the granite and save an hour or two

[@ladym994]

this is super! how long do you bake the seal for

[@BrotatoInSpace]

You legend

[@Grindian]

hey thanks for the informative video! - is that a glowforge that you used to print that lion towards the end?

[@nicolecampos4153]

Can I use air dry clay too? Also, thank you so much for this video!

[@NickMartinelliTV]

You'd want to use something smooth and durable, Air dry clay had a tendency to crack and is semi porous It probably could work with some work post processing like sanding and sealing Hope this helps

[@LoLowashere]

Awesome video! To you by chance take commissions for custom stamps?

[@copperbendcreations]

Cool , my fav one is the melted solder stamp , I think I will try that , but would it be too hot to put in a wee silicone mold ? Assuming it would prob melt it.

[@VondaInWonderland]

I really enjoyed watching this video. You have a money making channel here, make sure to use your hashtags. I think that I might just be able to make a nice stamp after this ♥

[@mossrose1467]

Hi! Would ceramic also work as a surface to place olive oil and stamps on, or does it have to be granite or marble? Thank you!

[@NickMartinelliTV]

Ceramic will work great as long as it is smooth!

Such a great video dude, nice That was a laser cutter right?

[@oldbutnotpastit5033]

Hi Nick - How durable are the stamps you made using the laser stamped into the epoxy clay? Someone else on KZbin says epoxy clay stamps will only last for around 10 uses. What has been your experiencewith them? Thanks - Bob

[@2ndpersondancing]

This comment gives me an idea to try rock putty 💪, uncommonly found ? in paperboard cannister in U. S. hardware stores. Very short work time, and very rock solid product.

I have 2 part apoxie sculpt clay will that work it is industrial strength but its not the same as the one in the beginning

[@cratchap926]

Aaj yes, a box full of bullet shell caseing, ofcourse i would have that just laying about!!

[@skadiglastheim8068]

I´ve been meaning to get/make a custom wax seal stamp for the specific purpose of sealing letters. How would you go about it since you make the wax seals in a way that they will be detached from the surface you stamp them on? (in your case, granite) Would you make the wax seals AND then glue them to the letters? With what kind of glue? More wax?

[@NickMartinelliTV]

I have found that the wax is almost identical to hot glue. You can make your seals then attach with hot glue, the two will melt together sealing your letter. You could also use the wax as well

[@TesiaCullen]

Out of curiosity, for the solder stamps about how long do you have to wait after pouring the solder before it's safe to handle?

[@NickMartinelliTV]

Around 10 mins

[@TesiaCullen]

@@NickMartinelliTV Awesome! Thank you so much!!

[@kaimargaret6976]

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do with the wax that's left in the spoon? Do you just peel it off and reuse it? I've been wondering that because it's a little hard to get every bit to pour.

[@labaccident2010]

You can reuse it in addition to more wax with the next stamp if you leave it in the spoon. Alternatively, if you want to get rid of it and not mix colors, using a folded paper towel to clean out the spoon also works.

[@coffeeinthemorning5226]

🤔 am still wondering how you were able to wing it with the tin and wood. did you have a temp gage? To keep the tin within the melt point and flash point?

[@gabrielladewinther9198]

Hi could I use air dry clay aswell ? Just asking because I got air dry clay here .

[@user-ob4ei4dj1k]

Wait for the first stamp, is the clay piece baked before using? Is there a hardening process before use?

[@10ProduccionesPixel]

Great learning! Question: At minute 14, for WHY reason does the wood not burn when pouring the boiling silver? Do you have any treatment?

[@EyeMCreative]

It's not silver, its solder. It's used for soldering/connecting wires together. It melts at a very low temperature, so it's not hot enough to burn the wood.

[@sueallen952]

The lighting was too dark in places but loved the ideas. The handles are beautiful

[@tonis8018]

Do you make the waxes too? or buy it?

[@CreacionesCFG]

Can it be made with cold porcelain?

[@raywang727]

Can I use resin for wax seals?

[@nellykanerva3178]

Have any of you tried the oven bake clay stamp because I did and my wax totally stuck to it. I used Fimo. Any tips?

[@NickMartinelliTV]

The clay used in the video is premo sculpey, If the stamp is sticking there is 3 things to check for: 1. Make sure that the stamp is cool before stamping and the wax has fully cooled down before removing the stamp (freezer works if you're impatient) 2. make sure your stamp is as smooth and clean as possible (scratches and debris can make the wax stick to the stamp) 3. use an oil as a release agent to keep the wax from sticking (reapply every few successful stamps) Hope this helps, -Nick

[@dacke13]

is there a way u could make a Alliance and Horde seal stamp from the game world of warcraft?

[@sammidwood404]

The .556 NATO and the modern .22 caliber cartridge are the same round ones just has a larger charge for more speed and penetration.

[@rouge5140]

5.56* When the dot is before the first number, it's in inches. .556 caliber would be bigger than .50 BMG

[@sammidwood404]

Im almost 100 percent sure that's false but I focus more on using the round not reading it.

[@rouge5140]

@@sammidwood404 Do 2 minutes of googling. Nato uses millimeters, 5.56mm is about a quarter inch, or about 0.25 inches. Pretty close, innit?

[@sammidwood404]

Yea I was never too good with a ruler I nptice the two fives and the six on the box thats as about important as it gets in my house. And even if it was a .50 or bigger its not like we don't have a rifle that can fire a round of that size although as someone using callipers daily I should probably learn millimeters.

[@LKDesign]

Are these wax coins now applicable to something or do they just lie around decoratively?

[@trustyjuul4833]

I guess they can be reused, melt again

[@labaccident2010]

You can buy circles of double stick tape to make them usable.

[@Wolfe_Metals_Stacking]

Add a small drop of molten wax to adhere or just add a little heat to the back to adhere.

[@GabyGibson]

Quick question: could we use air dry clay?

[@NickMartinelliTV]

I'm not sure as long as it's a smooth hard surface, it should work. if the wax sticks I'd apply some oil as a release agent and try again

[@lime__time]

It's a bit brittle, no?

My daughter made several stamps with oven bake clay but the wax sticks to them and won't come out. What are we missing?

[@NickMartinelliTV]

I'd Oil the stamp with olive oil if they're not completely smooth any sort of roughness will make them stick so if they have already been baked you could try sanding them with a very fine grit then oiling them You could also chill the stamp in the freezer or on ice before use...the difference in temperature should help it release Hope this helps
