Making Leather Stamps

[@SAHBfan]

Finally I have found a video on making stamps that doesn’t need a 3 D printer and a $$$$$$ laser! Struggling to get my head around so many DIY craft videos that need you to buy tools that cost 1000 times more than the item you are trying to make. Fine for mass production, but odd for home crafts…..

[@cindytumlin2743]

Look at you. Awesome. I can't tell you how many tools I've had to replace. This is pure genius.

[@SkillTree]

Glad you find this useful! Thsnks for watching!

[@reapersritehand]

This freaking awesome, even tho I already have these stamps I now want my own personal homemade set, and it gave me the idea to make my own logo one

[@knight848484]

When I saw the title, and not the thumbnail, I thought you were making stamps out of leather. I was very confused. This makes way more sense. Great quick video.

[@SkillTree]

😅 I was wondering if it would be construed that way. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for watching!

[@timgleaves9496]

Love it! You know, you should try to reach out and join to other youtube makers to boost your ratings. Adam Savage from Mythbusters comes to mind ;)

[@bonapartedavinci]

that texturing tool reminds me of lizard skin. would look great on a set of armor.

[@TheMariusDarkwolf]

Okay, that is ridiculously awesome. Great video

[@SkillTree]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@Megaman22xx]

I'm heading to home depot after this. Keep up the good work.

[@SkillTree]

Sweet! Let us know how they come out!

[@silverstixs16]

This is a good video for those more expensive tools that you might not use all the time!

[@SkillTree]

Thanks! These really are easy to make. Both together only took me about 45 minutes. Unless tou are lookinh to stamp a particular "image" style design, I don't see why you wouldn't just try to make them first. Thanks for watching!

[@Scalesthelizardwizard]

Can you forge a spear

[@SkillTree]

Can and will! 😁👍

[@flamingomtn]

This video makes me SO happy. I'm just starting leather stamping and already find that I mostly need the stamp that I don't have. There's a limit to how much I want to spend until I find out if I'll want to do this long-term.

[@Stephanie-hk7ei]

This is amazing, thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@Nurk0m0rath]

This looks like a fun and simple starting project. Question though, anybody have ideas on how to create the backgrounder texture without a dremel? Because I don't have one, and the only other idea I have right now is smacking the nail head with a ball peen after smoothing it. I suppose I could try a crosshatch type effect with files but I don't think it would be as universal.

[@gloamishvonsatyrburg4635]

P.S. Is eBay is a great place for mark down, used tools

[@SkillTree]

Is it?!? I should check that out! Always good to find sweet deals!

[@shaevillas5958]

-GASP!!- Skill Tree.. by charge you also Canadian🇨🇦? I ask because those Landscaping Screw-nails are only made in Canada [aka they are a Canadian invention]

[@SkillTree]

Alas, I am not. But I AM a fan! I live in Massachusetts but often take trips through Canada😁

[@shaevillas5958]

@@SkillTree sweetness and Awesome-sauce… thank you for the videos my skill tree is climbing thanks to the experience, and some of these skills I’m using are for D&d.. if you’d like I can tell you what my next plan is for my campaign

[@SkillTree]

@@shaevillas5958 you are speaking my LANGUAGE! Absolutely I would like to hear of you D&D campaign!

[@shaevillas5958]

@@SkillTree so this campaign is the one I made for my family, they’ve never played it before but they seem to be enjoying it… the story is about these 6 adventures going on a quest to find 5 dragon items that are a part of a prophecy [these items are known as the 5 powers of Tiamat] and they only got this information from one of our players who has the Sage background. What has happened so far is that these adventures went to find a king who said that he would pay the ones who would unlock his treasury, the king said that he hired someone known as the Clockmaker to design the lock to it… the only clue they was a letter with a riddle on it, this riddle’s answer was fire and when they held it near a heat source they found a secret message in the later… however it was a warning saying that the man who sits on the throne was the King’s brother and the Actual king is dead while his son was sold into slavery. They then go to find the prince at a Traders market and rescued him to dethrone the Uncle… because of this the prince then decided to show what was in the treasury, once it was opened it showed that nothing was inside except for a small ring with a read dragon eye sat on a pedestal.. the prince then said before the campaign ended “I don’t know what’s so important about this trinket… but all I know is that wars were waged because of it” ---- But now I’m making the next part of the story except with this one it’s going to involve an actual Puzzle box and inside is a letter from the Clockmaker himself except it wouldn’t make sense because the letter only contains a short story… however if the players were to shine a Moonlight rod [black light] on the letter they would find out that it’s actually an Ottendorf cipher [book cypher] telling them where to find the next Dragon item

[@BlackBeastWorkshop]

This is rad

[@digschopper9321]

Could you use a punch to put holes in the background stamp,then polish it? My Dremel died,lol.

[@SkillTree]

Possibly! Worth a shot. The punch should be hardened more than the spike. May be hard going though. Do you have a drill? Could use it in place of a dremel.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Great idea 👍 😊

[@lornemiller3489]

Your videos have gotten more...generic? Recently its not realy a problem and they are still good but I would keep it in mind if I where you

[@knight848484]

Lorne Miller I am going to have to disagree on this. I would say that he is finding is style and voice more. A quick video like this would be definition be more tight and with a purpose. His standard long forms haven’t done that at all.

[@SkillTree]

These "quick skill" videos are meant to be more supplemental. They are more for subjects that I think are fun or helpful but don't see myself making a really long episode for. Let me know if you still feel that way for my more long form vids.

[@poniel2123]

Lorne, your comment is generic of that of a troll. relax and enjoy the new skill you just learned in 3 minutes because Kit decided to give us an extra short quick skill. Kit for President 2024

[@donataspimpasas]

Going to home depot as soon as it opens ...

[@DonaldMcDaniel-c4l]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JointerMark]

Very cool! I am just in the process of making some stitching chisels. I am going to add your process to my tool making.

[@SkillTree]

I hope it comes out well for you!

[@poniel2123]

you are my hero.

[@SkillTree]

😂 glad you liked it!

[@troylee3700]

Thank you for sharing

[@asab2787]

Your videos are really cool!

[@SkillTree]

Glad you are enjoying them!😁

[@Marcpowers]

Great idea for video. Got a god idea for video thou, why not showing how to make a stealth-kit with, how to dig a stealth-camp-fire, tent that 'dissipear' when you pull a rope and a ghillie suit.

[@TheBottegaChannel]

Good news, you just made impromptu metal stamps for repusse work as well during the course of this video!

[@SkillTree]

AND I learned a new term. I had to look up what repusse is. Now I wanna try it! I DO love how many of the skills I learn overlap with others.

[@TheBottegaChannel]

@@SkillTree, for more info on metalworking techniques I recommend Ford Hallen's metalworking channel on KZbin. He specializes in traditional japanese inlay and repusse techniques while restoring antiques and authentic sword furnature.

[@juanalonso5037]

Sweet

[@BeeBait]

I use sticks I find outside lol I'm homeless so it's easier than carrying special tools everywhere

[@SkillTree]

I like your resolve and ingenuity! Keep on making!😁👍

[@BeeBait]

@@SkillTree thanks man, I have never let stuff like stability take away my gifts that I give to others. If I can craft with my hands, I won't let anything sto0 me. I use a native hardwood (ocean spray)my people have used for centuries many of my tools, and let them decompose when I'm don't for the day. I like hanging around marinas where rich old folk can see me working. Sometimes I'll get cool tips and sometimes I do the educating, but I always share. Thank you for this cool video, I'll have to make a leather case to hold some that I'll eventually make if I want a permanent set.

[@SkillTree]

That’s awesome! I hope you hop on the discord some time and share your work!

[@BeeBait]

@@SkillTree still use a flip phone but one day I might get a smartphone and get the app. Gotta subscribe so I can see more cool things from ya!

Think yours was better than the store one, 👌👍

Good work, thanks.

Thank YOU for watching!

[@jeffreyhanalei6566]

Your videos are awesome

[@gloamishvonsatyrburg4635]

I went and spent a couple $100 on leather working tools because of you.... And now I'm totally gonna try making my own stamps
