Metal Stamping on the Front AND the Back? Yes Please!
So you’ve heard that you can’t hand stamp on both sides of a metal blank? It’s all a lie! In this video, I’m making a keychain for mental health awareness month, and I use it to show you how you CAN stamp on both sides, with great results! Guys, I was sure riding the struggle bus trying to get this video created and edited. So I sure hope you find it useful!

good job! thanks for the video!
❤
This video was very helpful, even 5 years later! Thank you so much. Your son was hilarious!
So helpful, thank you.
They are very nice. Question: can you have two rows like if you wish to print a verse/quote. are there smaller fonts? new on this art and on your channel. liked & subscribed.
@@Mark_135 The bracelet blanks can be purchased in several sizes. The bigger the cuff, the more rows you could potentially pack in there. Font stamps also come in lots of sizes. I think the smallest I own is 2 or 2.5mm. I think the most rows I’ve stamped on a cuff bracelet was 5 rows on a 1 inch wide bracelet blank. A google search for metal stamping fonts and for metal cuff bracelet blanks will give you loads of options.
Very helpful thank you
I'm just entering this space. Are ImpressArt and Owden stamps interchangeable? Pros/Cons of each? Love your videos. Thanks so much.
@@deuscaritas1 I actually hadn’t heard of Owden until your comment! I’m looking at them online compared to Impressart, and they seem identical. They could even come from the same manufacturer, then labeled by the individual brands. If I was just starting, I’d go with the Owden since they seem to be less expensive. Then it’s not so much of an investment if you decide it’s not your thing. I still use and enjoy the Impressart sets that k have. Sorry I’m not more help!
This was super helpful! :) Lining up with the electrical tape is a great trick. Thank you!
If it bounces you hitting to hard. Brass hammer are only good fr dead soft metal. Learn the proper use of a chaffing hammer. Go a little bit more on the money and get a 9 lb anvil it is a great investment and you can do so much more with it. 1000 grit sand paper gets off the burr and polishes the metal. Okay she is nee to metal work as she said. Just learn proper techniques she had no clue and figured out what worked for her. When I put a hole in any metal I use a center punch (2.00) and a drill bit and a drimmel. You probably already have a drimmel and drimmel bits.
Agreed! Another reason for the bounce was that I was using a plastic table instead of something solid. 🤦🏼♀️ It also took me a long time to learn that was the reason I was getting double images. I only stamp on very soft metals like aluminum and dead soft copper, so the brass hammer is still my favorite choice. Thanks for the comment!
Hi what marker do you use?
My top favorite is a sharpie oil based paint pen. Second favorite is a plain old sharpie.
Hi! Thank you so much for all the tips! I’m new in jewelry stamping and you have helped me so much. ❤️ Do you have tips for stamping in brass? Does a brass hammer can turn into a better result? I get a lot of double stamping and don’t get a clean look neither a nice stamp 😢
I prefer using a brass hammer. To fix your double stamping, try putting your bench block on a more solid surface when you stamp. Like a counter or a really sturdy table. And then just more practice!❤️
Great info! I see you are a fellow CTR ring wearer!! 😉😉😗
It’s like a secret handshake!😁❤️
Great info... thanks for sharing!😊👍
You’re so welcome!
I would love to try out the stubby hammer...thanks for showing the comparison, was very helpful.
Helpful video. However the background music was extremely distractingand nerve-wracking.
Thanks so much!
Can you tell me the brand and name of the letter stamps on the breathe necklace?
That font is called “fish fingers.” I got those stamps used, so I’m not sure who the manufacturer/brand is. But you can find them online by googling “fish fingers metal stamp font.”
Help i cant seem to avoid rhe scratch at the back. Duck tape does not help!
Help i cant seem to avoid rhe scratch ar the back. Duck tape does not help!
THE BLUE TAPE IS ON THE BACK SIDE...FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID...TO STOP IF FROM SCUFFING WHEN YOU STAMP. IT STOPS IT FROM SLIDING AROUND AS MUCH ALSO.
Learning learning. I need to stop and take the time to video myself again and doing crafts and jewelry if I really get back into it.
Never thought of using magic eraser. will try.
JUST SUBD AND JUST SAVED. Getting back into stamping and need a reminder coarse. I forgot all about Cheap electrical tape! tyvm
I bought PUL to use. Will it leak along the middle seam since it’s been pierced multiple times with the sewing needle?
Does the sharpie eventually wear off?
Great helpful video!Thank you. 😊 On the video going out of focus, just a little photography tip (prof photographer here), record a little farther out and you could always edit/crop the video in closer when your done if you want viewers to see up close. Farther out can avoid from the lens to go in and out if focus to find which area to be trying to find the focal point and will cover the whole area
Hi
Great video! I'm stamping fairly thick silver bars. The problem I'm having, is that every time I stamp them in the middle, it bends the silver bar. Is there a way to stamp without bending the metal?
The first thing I think of is that you might just be stamping a little too hard for what your silver bars can take. Do you know what gauge the bars are? In my experience, anything thinner than 18 gauge will distort really easily. One thing you can try would be to use multiple softer taps instead of a hard blow. You could also try to work harden your silver just a bit before stamping. You could do that by just lightly hammering it repeatedly with a rawhide or nylon mallet. If those things don’t help, I can try to help you with more troubleshooting.
Genius
Not me being so late to this video and only now realizing I thought I was supposed to stamp on what you're referring to as the back. Ha! Thanks so much for sharing this information.
I thought you were growing blond-hair out of your shoulder.
Brilliant video ❤
What a beautiful piece and message❤
Thanks for sharing
With what material you make your "gabarit" please ?
I don’t use a pattern. I just use a ruler to measure and cut squares of fabric in the size I need.
At 2:20min in the vidéo you are using a plastic gabarit, sorry
you're adorable - well done! great info. bought a 36 piece stamp set on amzn, came w a simple striker..and nothing else.. so this is so very helpful to see all of the tools you need to punch metal pendants and bracelets etc!! 🤓🌻🤓🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great. Thank you.
Yay! You are back. I have learned so much from your videos. They are the best. Thank you.
Thank you❤️
Great tip on the ammo case.
Great tip, thank you.
Hi! I saw your metal stamping videos, and loved them! How can I contact you, do you have an email?
I’m glad you liked them! I don’t like to give out my personal info, but I’m happy to help you here if you have questions.
Ok. Would you recommend some stamps and hammer and other necesary items for me to buy? I would like to work with sterling silver and filled gold. I found out I would need different supplies to work with these metals. Is it true? Si 2 hammers, 2 sets of stamps 2 blocks etc?
Great tip, thanks for sharing! I've noticed that the heads of my chasing, brass, and nylon heads are scratched up quite a bit...is there some way to polish them back to their original, scratch-free surfaces, or does that even matter?
How can I get a kit for myself when am in Uganda do u have any stores selling the kits in Uganda
i saw on another video to use tape to make straightline and black dots on the tape for letter placement
I like that technique
Can you tell me where you purchased your ball chain and what size it is please?
The chain is 2.4mm and comes in a 100 foot roll from an Etsy shop called Supply Your Soul.
@@makeitkate3240 Is it stainless steel?
What is the machine called where you can stamp metal without the hammer noise?
I almost bought those cheap blanks at hobby lobby as they were on clearance.. glad I didn’t!
Hey! I got the Harbour Freight letters without the coupon. Who knew they had coupons?
I am new at metal stamping. I want to start a small business. Do you have a supply list for a beginner?
