Welcome to the site, good to have you aboard. And yes, please post some pictures, we all LOVE pictures.

That's a nice blade, I like the handle alot!

Well I called Harper today and ordered my stamp, they said about 3 weeks to get it. CER really seemed like they didn't want to work with me, and kept trying to sell me the generic stamp which I made very clear I did not want. I'm not trying to bash them, but this was just my experience. I will post pics when I get it.

George, that is a pretty small touchmark, but I got the same price from CER. I really didn't like the way it seemed like they didn't want to do a custom stamp. So far, for the last pic in Richards line up, prices are 150 from Harper's and Everstamp said 179, CER still hasn't given me a definite price yet, and waiting on others. I'm thinking about omitting the "Amherstburg, Ont." part and just having the D&D inside the anvil outline, what do you guys think?

Thanks for the video, I've been wanting to make a header.

Don, that's a pretty nice shop you got there.

Welcome to a fellow Canadian. It's good to have you here. There is all kinds of info here to learn from.

heaven....

Welcome to the site, there's tons of info here!! I'm sure you can find what ever information you need, if not, just ask!

I hope everything turns out for the better. Your daughter and family will be in my thoughts. Take care and stay strong.

Looks good, that's a lot of work to make that from a spike, but it turned out real good!

Welcome to the site!! Good to have you here!

Everyone is welcome here!! Whether you are smithing now or not. There's tons of info here to read and learn from. It's good to have you aboard!

That's cool. It's great that things like this are done to get word out about smithing. I like the idea of re-enacting, I'd like to do some old style demo's eventually.

Jeremy, those look great!! You put a lot of effort into them and it shows. :)

Nice find!!! If you can't use it, just send it to me, I'll store it for ya;)

Looks good! I like the idea of taming down the mess of shoes:)

The drawing part is my problem, I'm not artist!:(

Nice, I want one! Then I wouldn't need my striker anymore:D

That's great, I think the more the better, they will be putting trees together for years. It's amazing how something like this brings people together for a cause.

Can anyone tell me roughly how much it costs to have one made?

I'll have to pick up some stainless rod so I can start making some.

Welcome to the site! There's tons of info on the front page in the lessons in metal working. There are courses all over that you can take.

You should click "User CP" at the top of the page and list your location, that way you can be directed to courses near by and maybe someone here is close enought to lend a hand in person.

Good to have you!

I think it's a great idea. I've never heard of a demo trailer before, but I think it would be a lot better than loading and unloading everything. Can't wait to see it in action!

Hey all, I'm looking to get a touchmark made and wondering where is the best place to have it done? Where have you guys got them made? I would make one, but the design I want is too intricate to do with punches and chisels. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
