Great review, thank you for making it. I wanted to ask, where did you get your letter stamp set?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You're welcome! Same place, Metallic Elephant. I think the set was around £500 at the time.

[@chad206]

I reached out to them to learn how I could get one in the US. I got no response at all, so I ended up purchasing a Dream Factory machine. Now I just need to find a good source for brass letters and wood clicker dies.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

I hope you enjoy your new machine!

[@glacialimpala]

Same here, no response. They even told me off on Instagram when I complained about not getting any info via emails. I was very professional and courteous both times!

[@1969Punjabi]

Excellent review, thank you for sharing.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You're most welcome. Happy you found it valuable 👍

[@groovyraffraff5300]

Does this work with a t slot and t slot letters as well?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

As in a T slot for a wallet? Not sure what a t slot letter is

[@FabioMolle]

Thanks for the review :)

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You are welcome!

[@michaellopez5960]

I am looking for a European Hot foil Machine, I will contact Metallic Elephant in England. Same as you this will be a third one and I wishing my last one. Thanks

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You're welcome Michael. It's a great machine and the team over there are very helpful. 👌

[@michaellopez5960]

Thank you so much for your kind reply. I sent an email last night my time, I am sure they will answer me sometime next week, it's the weekend. I am sure that I will be happy, it's exactly what I am looking for right now, a compact and well build. I did mentioned that I was browsing online, I searched "hot foil leather machine made in Europe" and the link of your video pup-up. Great! Thank you!

[@davidninan88]

Hi Philip, are you still using this hot foil machine, or have you found another that meets your needs better? I have a very small space and this seems like it may be a good fit.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Hi David, yes I still use this exact machine.

[@EB-iq9cr]

Would you recommend this one above the Dream Factory one that includes the clicker function? I am currently in the market for one.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

I haven't used the Dream Factory to compare I'm afraid. But I will say 'jack of all trades, master of none'.

[@ianknight2053]

You can always tell if the products are expensive when they don’t display the price on their website! 😉

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Sometimes yes, but many times it's because they want you to contact them and open up a dialogue. Especially true of B2B companies vs B2C ones with 'click to buy' options. Expensive is relative however. As a paperweight yes, as a non-Chinese hot foil machine? No, it's actually very good value I think.

[@TraceyAshtonnz]

Thanks for the review I have been looking at buying the KSF1 .... your work bench height looks great for foiling would you mind sharing how high you have the machine?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thank you. I have it set so that the piece I am foiling is just below eye level. This allows me to view the whole process.

[@TraceyAshtonnz]

@@LeathercraftMasterclass thank you thats great.

[@creativemalek]

Hello how much is it this one and thank you

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Probably a little under 2K. Was £1500 years ago, so that's my best guess.

[@chandershekharbhatia514]

Sir this machine price

[@shaylondon7031]

Hi, Where do you get your brass dies from?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Metallic Elephant, same company as the machines.

[@GaetanoDOnofrio-gt5in]

Buona sera quando costa una macchina così con spedizione Italia grazie

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

For more information on the machine, please follow the link in the description box above. Many thanks 👍

[@dellarichmond5538]

What size, surface area is the KSF mini machine able to stamp

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

I would recommend asking Metallic Elephant for machine specs.

[@amir67intrinsic]

Great video! Does it stamp on acetate?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

It should do, but that would have more to do with the foil and it's adhesive backing.

[@devriescustomleather1109]

Buy nice or buy twice

[@jamespatrick8971]

Hi I am struggling to find a machine that can hot stamp my logo. My logo is 246mm x 74 mm. can you sugest a machine that can do this. Thank you James

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

I think you're going to need some kind of press at that point as most hot foil machines aren't designed to cope with a surface area that large.
