They have teeny, tiny little rubber bands in the children's section of craft stores for some kind of kid's art art & craft thing that's popular. I've also seen them in the hair brush & barrettes section of Dollar Tree.

thanks for the information Shirley

[@churumbel52]

Great, love your ideas.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you.

Great job thanks for your video

I think that you're resourceful enough that with a couple of tries you could put a detent ball in those stamp mandrels. The smaller one is a bit trickier because it's, well, so small. As an alternative, maybe you drill and tap the tip/end (hopefully a #4-40 is small enough) then attach a small circle of rubber or leather to the tip with a small flatwasher and screw. Another idea I had is to reduce the diameter of the the smallest diameter part then cut some small grooves and put some heat shrink tubing over the end. This should give a friction fit like an o-ring. Or, shorten the tip of the mandrel a bit and drop a small magnet into the attachment hole on the back of the stamp, with a bit of epoxy or silicone glue. This will probably be the best working solution, but it means you have to add a magnet to each/all the small stamps. Otherwise, depending on how many of the small stamps you have, or at least for the ones you use often, just make a mandrel for each of them.

Getting it done

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching.

[@miskahadik6961]

What about a magnet for the end of the stamp posts?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That would work thanks for the idea

[@nicrfe]

Air hole could go in the bit so you don’t have to still all the stamps

[@TheWoodHaven]

I like that mod. I'm curious if you can get an extra stamp handle with the ball bearing in it and cut/file it down instead of using stock. That would give you the same thing but with the ball bearing.

Thanks for sharing

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching Jerry.

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Outstanding!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for all the comments .

[@nobracobra]

hi would you happen to have a list of tools/accessories for turning steel pls/ty

[@gwesco]

I would have center drilled the holder then cross drilled from the side. That would eliminate modifying any new stamps.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the ideas George.

[@williammcguire3rd]

Doing good!!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks William.

[@docreaper6449]

Go to Tandy Leather, they have the handle for the stamps already made,

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Doc.

[@bigoldgrizzly]

where is the fun in that ?? ;

[@jcoop7924]

Have you tried a small piece of clear plastic tubing to hold the smaller punch together ?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good idea thanks.

[@bigoldgrizzly]

Make it a tight hot fit to the stamp and call it good. 3/8 round stock is cheap so why not just make a fresh rod for each stamp ?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the idea.

[@garryallerellie5185]

Could you cut a round piece of plastic cutting board for your table. Put a centre pin ( split pin ) in it and corresponding centre hole in metal table.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good idea thanks Garry.

[@tinamcdonald93]

Perhaps you might want to cut/modify some leather punches to use in the press if you start doing a lot of leather work (belts/straps)?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the comment Tina.

[@MrErViLi]

Couldn't you just weld one of your old sockets onto the stamps and just use that extension attachment you modified to put the stamp directly onto? And if not put a small magnet in the bottom of the stamp hole.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good idea but not sure.

[@jonathanthiessen6869]

@@Robinson-Homestead Rather than welding a socket to it, you could remove the metal around the hole on the top of the stamp and use the sockets for more even pressure on the larger stamps.

[@magvat]

Is it a 1 ton?

[@ARIES5342]

Magnet?

[@DesignBuildFixReview]

paint the edge of the dye facing you so you always know direction

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good one thanks.

[@garryallerellie5185]

What size is your arbor press? I bought a two ton.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think 2 ton.

[@MrSTOUT73]

Is there a reason you cut from left to right?? I've never seen that done before. lol

[@jcoop7924]

Believe the lathe is a mini from harbor frieght. It has a auto feed if needed.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

No limit now to where you can take this. The o'ring may work but a detent ball really isn't hard to do bud. Drill a hole and lightly stake it in place.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I have no idea where to get the parts I would try one for sure.
