Thank you for the detailed video on making stamps. The part I missed was seeing each and every tool you used and how they contributed to the finished piece. Also, seeing the carving in real time would help.

[@leeanets1365]

I really liked this video, but the part I was most interested in is the part that you put in fast motion 😂 Would love to see the carving of the stamp in real time 👍

[@kari-annereedy5857]

Me too, I ended up slowing the video to .25 speed and it was still fast but better

Best stamp making video I've seen yet

Beautiful stamps. I make double ended stamps on a rectangle 1" x 2.5" log to save space for storing them.

[@mikalehtinen1524]

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing!

[@gaspazha7045]

Excellent video. Short and to the point. I especially appreciated you explaining the interlocking aspect and how to achieve that. Thank you for showing how you mark the leather hard piece of clay before you begin the carving. I agree with others that your video is one of the best on topic, Please make more on stamps, sprigue molds, making feet/decorate elements to pieces. Subscribed and liked!

[@catherineyoung3889]

Great video! Would have liked to see the carving part run a little more slowly to better see what you were doing.

[@bethholt1517]

You can do the infinity sign

[@amynahfarid4007]

Hi, making a name stamp would it be same process? Is there an alternative engraving tool available in kitchen/home one can use? Would you make a tutorial for this?

[@s.missizhippiew.1117]

I was just curious about why you put a hole in the top of them?? Thnx

[@Mrsallisonlebaron]

I know how to pinch out a stamp, but I would’ve liked to seen how you used that carving tool in real time

[@qa377]

Why bisque and not completely fired? Would it help for the stamp to be less porous?

[@Shawna795]

If you made a block and carved the design you want, can you pour silicone to make a texture sheet?

[@ericspecht8860]

You can use an RTV rubber from a company like Smooth-On to make a texture sheet. You can also use the RTV to make a mold of your completed stamp and then fill the mold with 2 part liquid plastic resin to duplicate your stamp as many times as you want. RTV doesn't set up well in the presence of sulfur so make sure your clay is sulfur free or buy a small block of sulfur free modeling clay and use it to make your texture sheet.

[@Shawna795]

@@ericspecht8860 thank you for your help 😊

[@MM-lr5hv]

Last night I was making some flower stamp I did sooooo many hazards 😂 ended up pouring pris plaster. Why didn’t I just cut the clay ? ❤ Sometimes brain doesn’t work that way I guess😊

[@janethastings6417]

Fish...the sky's the limit.

[@brydie-leesheen9073]

You fast forwarded the most important part - technique for actually carving the stamp out, how to get that rounded edge etc..

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Man, you'll be putting Skippy McGruber out of business!
