Iron Poet Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Valentines day is coming up so I thought it would be prudent to make a heart stamp and a swage to do with it. It's a bit difficult to hammer the punch into even yellow hot steel due to the surface area, but it does come out nicely even if the punch itself is a tiny bit wonky and a tad too short.

True, it takes about a heat to make the heart shape and another to roughly cut out the shape with a chisel. Even with grinding I can get one done in about 15 minutes and can probably sell one for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I imagine you would get requests for initials stamped into the heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
