How to Make a Touchmark Stamp

[@AlfredSoul]

This is *very* helpful! I've always wanted to engrave my Logo into the stuff I make and this just made it possible for me to give my works that one professional touch!

[@CaptainPhantom93]

I love your videos, but this is an unbiased comment: this is the best video tutorial I've seen so far on how to make a touchmark. Thank you sir, you are a legend!

[@DavidGuyton]

wow thanks very much Jeriah! I really appreciate that. Glad you liked the video.

[@CaptainPhantom93]

@@DavidGuyton no problem. Now do us all a huge favor, and never stop making your amazing videos :)

[@AshLeeeeee]

Aw man, you've gone and put a hand made touchmark on my to-do list. Thanks!

[@sdunca4864]

David- the carbide graver is an excellent tool for O1- if you have the right tip shaped... you were using a point without a wide wnough face and it didnt look like you had any relief angle. You want a knife face for lining out your borders then a flat to lozenge with a hefty relief/rake to remove larger areas. Carbide is a great tool alloy- but beware the dust from grinding and only shape with water and diamond wheels. Great vid and BRAVO!

Thank you for the finger tap on the toaster oven. I giggled out loud. Nice job

[@bbarker5766]

As a machinist we use V-Blocks and a few other tricks. Nice modification for your vice. Often times we will machine soft jaws for special shaped parts as well. Good job man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lostbuffalo196]

Good job. Well explained . Thank you

[@zandermarriott]

Amazing video and great editing! I love these videos!

[@tykellerman6384]

Turned out good, like the vise improvement and your forge great idea 🤠👍

[@ImmortalLemon]

I still need to DESIGN my touch mark, I have no idea what it’s gonna be

[@anthemis09]

Nice job, I'll have to try this out. Every other touchmark tutorial I've seen used a hammer and engraving chisel, but I have no engraving experience so I didn't try it out. Don't know why I never thought to use a Dremel...

[@chrisw7345]

Love your videos man

[@SMAARTIST]

Awesome tool! Thanks for sharing the process!

[@aliloucreations1817]

I think it worked out great , big thumbs up from me 👍🏼

[@ghost8982]

Wow dude. You did this the hard way. I used electro etching to make mine.

[@CIA_Alien]

Electronic etching… Or electrochemical etching? I’ve never heard of electronic etching before.

[@MattsGreatHall]

Love it. Great info!

[@brianelkins8604]

An easier way of doing this to acid etch a negative into a peace of steel. Then heat up your stamp blank in the forge. When you got a good heat, strike the stamp good and hard on the negative and it will take the mark's shape. Then temper.

[@thedudeamongmengs2051]

How deep can you etch into steel using acid? I've never seen it done deep enough for this purpose

[@spineyswordfish]

Won't be making armor but I could definitely use this stamp for so many other things, thank you! Also what is the name of the music you were using in the background?

[@DavidGuyton]

first song is Metamorphosis, second song is Calm Amid the Raging Waters, both available for 99 cents at www.armortemplates.com/

[@nullsnaggle5198]

Could you do a tutorial on that forge?

[@toompyfloyd4074]

Sweet video brother 👍

[@thedudeamongmengs2051]

This is really cool and useful

[@mitsukowalker5831]

Good job again. Enjoyed as always. Check out YT or other places on how the Japanese make HANKOs. These are small I. D. stamps that every one in Japan must have to use when signing an official document of just about any kind. They push it onto a red ink pad so it will mark the document they are dealing with. They use plastic for your basic run-of-the-mill hanko but they often use steel, titanium, and other hard metals. Ivory is also a favorite. It is legal in Japan. This is an industry in Japan and you might get some good ideas on any further work you do on this subject. I must add that I'd not move the letter into the center of the touch-mark munch, but rather keep it off-center so it's not so symmetrical. It is much more dynamic if it is off-center. (Take this from an old art/design teacher....) You are quite talented. Keep on doing this good work you do. You inspire.

[@LindyDesignLab]

Cool. Music in the opening credits sounded like something from Halo.

[@warrell36]

Is there a place where you go and see if someone is using a mark you want to use? Is there a place to register your mark?

[@DavidGuyton]

Not sure about that. I would just suggest making something unique enough where it wouldn't be an issue

[@tri4arda]

The inconsistency is due to the large surface area, bigger hammer, smaller logo OR hollow out the inside of your letters to reduce surface area...

[@twrecks9119]

My initials and last name are the same. I wonder if we are related? Good instructional video.

[@DavidGuyton]

Not a whole lot of Guytons out there so it's possible; especially if you on the east coast of the USA

Not ashamed..... I started laughing when you said "I cut the D off"

[@kem3456]

I think a large stamp would be fine for claymores and larger weapons with more area.

[@zfrenchy1716]

I worked in a forge for 15 years, I make some touchmark. For that we used home made cold chisel, we made it with any broken tools like drillbit, mill tools ... Then shape them on the grinding stone carefully, then use it to engrave your touchmark. It worked pretty well and it is cheap, don't need carbide tool, just more grinding as the tool get dull. Here is some link about making your engraving tools kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKKQhYl-mpeUbqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5y8h4qhort_fdU

[@stevemoore5053]

Didn't you say that you have a video on how you made your gas forge? Me,I thought the music was OK 👍. Thanks for the video.

[@DavidGuyton]

No but it's just two fire bricks with the hole in the center. Very easy to make

[@Bannedat80k]

Really nice job

[@gunnerdavidson7287]

Thank you!

[@sosteve9113]

Instead of making a new one,because the mark isn't in the middle, saw a piece of the rod,to make the mark centered Atb Steve

[@Lordofthepixel]

5:40 I see what you did there. XD

[@ImMora1]

Dead meme tbh

[@thewrongredneck2086]

try a slight taper from center out. very slight...

[@maryleemartz3722]

do you make them for others?

[@DavidGuyton]

No but there are people out there who do specialize in making them. I don't know if they use this same process.

[@alsjka]

Nice job

[@Kollynator]

Dont the engraver work better if you start on a flat surface?

[@DavidGuyton]

yes, but in this case there was no way to get them deep enough using the gravers alone. They may come in handy for other stuff but I couldn't make them work here

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

Nice! 👍👍👍

I was wondering what that jig was for on Instagram.

They are called carbide burrs, and I found them on Amazon

Think about make the Goblin Slayer armor. :)

@@DavidGuyton I think the music is too loud, if you like the music that's fine but the volume almost matches your voice, it's hard to discern what you are saying in parts.
