Messerist Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Could anyone give me a source for a touchmark? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Cochran Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If you have a design you could probably find a company to make it with an easy search. I believe there have been companies that make them mentioned on here several times. You can probably also find something doing a web search for custom steel stamps.

Mark Ling Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 well depending on how complex it is you could just make one with some filing. that's what I did for mine, and it worked just fine. just remember that it needs to be reversed when you look at it on the stamp, so that when you use it is the correct way. didn't do that correctly once....

SLAG Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Lieber Herr Messer, You can create a touch mark on the cheap. If you have any artistic ability or nascent artistic tendencies. Borrow, buy or rent a rotary tool like Dremel. Get an engraving head for the tool Some of those heads are made of carbide. And grind away. Alternatively, your mark can be acid etched, in steel using acid (e.g. muriatic acid), and a wax resist. If you go the acid route please take precautions. Have a good one. SLAG.

jukejoint Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I second what lawn jockey said but last time I tried to show and talk about them my post was removed Since you asked, the warnings you were sent for both of those posts stated you were posting advertising videos. That thread was to show your touchmarks. instead you posted advertising of where to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 You may want to contact stampman on this site. He makes touchmarks. Tell him IFI sent you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
