    I'm looking at getting an embossing machine and I like the Kingsley. I happen to be a machinist and can make those holders. LMK if you're still in need of some, if I end up making some I can make some extras.

    The type you have are called Fonts. They are used in printing presses. For printing stationary, business cards, tickets for raffles etc. Yes it was and old style printing presses before rotogrevier and before computers. I used that type of press I even had a hand press years ago then I got into flexopress which is rotogrevier, which started out with rubber plates. They now make and use syrell plates, I use the lead type still in my leather craft.

    You can also use a seam ripper (used in sewing) to cut the thread rather than cutting into the leather to cut the thread.

    Nice video and thanks for sharing your views on each type of shell. One request is you should offer a 2.5 inch version of the shell strops. I have many strops new and vintage and by for my favorite ones are 2.5". I have been using a straight razor for over 8 years and have tried most all famous makers from around the globe. Just a heads up as there are many shavers like me and I have been a meber of SRD and B&B for meny years and can say the majority like the 2.5" over the 3" as it has been asked countless times in the two forums. Great product and keep up the good work.

  • @deborahbelanger-palmer1469

    I truly do not intend to be rude, but there is a lot about this machine that you don't seem to know. So you realize you are missing parts that hold the foil and advances the foil every time you make an impression. You are not supposed to cut off a piece of foil and stick it under the hot die with your fingers. Also, there are different types of boards (rubber, plastic & cardboard etc) available to put under whatever material you are stamping to increase the quality of the impression. The boards also protect the type from being damaged from hitting the base plate. If you do not get a clean & crisp impression, regardless of the type size, it is because you are not doing it correctly. The main cause of such issues is the temperature. You should start at 250 degrees and adjust from there. You can use a rubber cement pickup to clean up impressions of excess foil. Here is the big surprise, you obviously do not have the part that was made for the machine that is meant to hold down leather goods. Ever wondered what that chrome piece screwed on the side of the machine, just opposite the handle, is for? Well that is where you clamp the part for holding leather goods. For your reference it is called a leather goods clamp. I hope this will help you enjoy your Kingsley more and good luck with your leather craft business. One last thing. I noticed you seem to like the gold foil. You can use 24kt gold leaf to stamp on leather as well. Kingsley did make some, but I do not know it you can use the gold leaf you can buy at craft stores. But I don't see why it would not work.

      Hi Deborah, thank you for your comment. I actually had the roll holder that advances the foil on the machine originally, and removed it because it actually was not at all suitable to my needs. When using it for leather, I’m not batching out foil stamps (like on post cards or something) so I have no need to do more than one in a row. I would much rather remove the holder and have the extra visibility under the stamp to ensure I am lined up correctly. The boards aren’t needed for leather stamping and I need it to be firm under the leather and the metal baseplate works just fine. I have seen the leather clamp and that would be something I would like to experiment with in the future

      Not to be rude like I kinda get it’s convenience, but why not just get a strop for the purpose and keep your nice leather belt looking nice and not using stropping compounds on it

    • @Gr3nadgr3gory
      @Gr3nadgr3gory Рік тому

      @@billym7930 because that side of it doesn't get seen. Also, for bushcraft never really used a compound either. Keep in mind my strops are for knifes, not a barber's straight razor and that I'm by no means any kind of professional. Still get them shaving sharp most of the time.
