Chad J Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Thats a nice clean stamp! Beautiful hawk, what type of figured wood for the handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Roy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 KYBOY, I didn't think it was possible to get a touchmark that crisp and sharp with a stamp. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get it? And how much did it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Send a PM to me to please I would like the info. Thanks! I don't care how much it cost, each touch mark is going to be different cost. I would like to know where you got it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsawn Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Me three, please if you can PM or a post for everyone would be real nice THANKS :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Nice touchmark KY. Maybe just post the maker here? We can get what we might want priced directly and after seeing the quality I don't think a little publicity would be out of line. Frosty the Lucky.

Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I don't need too much invitation. While I did not make the stamp for KYBoy, I do make stamps (touchmarks) for blacksmiths. Usually in S-5. The biggest difference in mine is I include a handle as shown in the ones I did for jesse: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Green Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Grant those are very nice. Not that it matters but do you hand carve those or mill them? Do you charge a flat rate or by the time required to build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I quote based on my mood at the moment. Usually competitive. I mill in graphite and EDM the stamps in already-hardened material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Green Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 could you call me when feeling real charitable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYBOY Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sorry guys it took so long I got this touch mark at CMT (columbia marking tools). Stampman on here is who I contacted first then he put me in touch with other company employees.. Its a fine stamp. 5" long and plenty of mass..Wont get hot when you stamp hot as long as you dont hold it on the metal more than a few seconds. It marks cold very well too..Im sure there are plenty of makers out there who could do a good job as well but CMT did a fantastic job on this one :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlin Morris Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm trying to design my own touchmark and I'd love to see some examples of what other people have done... I know a lot of people do names or initials, but there's a whole lot of creativity here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Names and initials are searchable. Easily described patterns without letters are very common, making them less searchable. There is a directory on Anvilfire.com that may help. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
