I think the soldering iron which can use 220v in Thailand(Hex n hit comes fromThailand) so If you are in US, you should have a Adapter converting 110v to 220v. The soldering iron will be work. I hope that my comment can help you about that 😊
Thani Small Leather Goods I think I just got a bad iron. I bought another here locally and the stamps work. I’ll try and put out another on branding. Thanks for watching.
watched you on the alcohol lamp so went and got the lamp checked out the stores and spent the day searchin for what i could use so now i am stuck with a jar that is of no use as i cant find out wat i can use with it as i cantget the ethanol in the uk and whewn i go on line and ask what i can use other than ethanol and the only people i get are cvhinise and i do not speak manderin so could you or someone else tell me what i can put in the jar if no one does i can alway shoot it with my b&A
Can it stamp fake leather just with the hammer tecnique?? Like sneakers or fake veg leather?? And around how much was the price? Over $100? Just an estimate to have an idea, thank you! Great video btw!
Thanks for the great video Addictive Archery. Does this kit work on soft, finished leather as well? I have a computer bag to try...if you have experience with soft leather it would be of great help. Thank you!
yellowsheep it depends on the type of finish on the leather. Some of the softer leather don’t take impressions well. The “soft” feel sometimes means the top surface is flexible meaning it won’t retain the shape of the stamp. Veg tan leather that is cased correctly is by far the easiest to stamp and tool that I have found.
Sanaporn Sakulrattana hello. This is a hand press that was made by Tandy years ago. It is a dedicated stamp press. It has been discontinued and replaced by their new press that does stamps and hardware.
Jose Saca hi José. The mark left on the leather is due to the stamp and pressure. Some leather is easier to stamp than others but for the most part, if you create enough pressure it will leave a mark.
Addictive Archery hey! So I just got my stamp and I’m a little disappointed on the actual mark left on the leather. I am trying to use it on yellow, blue and red leathers, I’m not sure if that’s an issue because I can barely see the mark on it. I’m using just the press machine (similar to the one you have) and I try to apply as much pressure as I can and you can see it but not as marked as the ones you show on the video :(.. I was dumb enough that I didn’t order the hammerin handle, not sure if using that will leave a better mark, I will buy a soldering iron tomorrow and see if that works better, I only have a question, should I buy a 45 watts or 80 watts soldering iron? Does the watts really matter?
It depends on how the leather is finished. A lot of the colored leathers have a hard finish when they are tanned that does not take tooling very well. I've found that if I add a spacer between the stamp and the piston on the press I'm able to apply more pressure. You could also try casing the leather.
Hey there, I watched a Hex and Hit video on branding ua-cam.com/video/TN7p-wZxWx8/v-deo.html - and looks like you might try letting the stamp turn to a copper color before branding. Let me know if this helps any. I'm looking at purchasing the branding iron but would like to see if you have any luck with it.
Hi Laura, My iron is not working any more. It started to smoke out the handle one day and now will no longer get hot enough to brand any thing. I would suggest buying a higher quality iron. The brass stamps on the other had are top notch. I would not hesitate to order the stamps from them again if I every had too. Thanks

Two thumbs up even though the branding iron failed, really? Not one thumb up because you got faulty equipment. Wow you're generous!!

Good info, wished you would have hammered it in and see how it turned out that way.
Robert Sadler look at 2:18 minutes. Or do you mean hammering with out the handle?
For what do you need such thick leather ? Greetings from Germany

really appreciate the prompt response! Happy and healthy 2018!
Beeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Does hammering it with a mallet work well on chrome tan leathers ?
Syed Qayyum I’ve found that a press works the best to get a good even impression.
chrome tan wont stamp as well as veg in any world because chrome tan has no collagen and doesnt hold shape well
@@sleepyreapy1222 chrome tan is best when branded with heat from like a soldering iron!
Hi, May i ask about the press machine. Is it the hand press or electric/hydauolic press? Where can I buy it ?
Sanaporn Sakulrattana hello. This is a hand press that was made by Tandy years ago. It is a dedicated stamp press. It has been discontinued and replaced by their new press that does stamps and hardware.
I apologise if you covered it in the video and I missed it but how did the stamps cost
Patrick Monkman I can’t remember off hand what it cost. I know I sent them my design and they gave me a quote using that.
Hey there! In order to get that type of engraving on the leather, does the stamp has to do anything with it or is the pressure you put that does that?
Jose Saca hi José. The mark left on the leather is due to the stamp and pressure. Some leather is easier to stamp than others but for the most part, if you create enough pressure it will leave a mark.
Thank you so much for your reply! I've ordered mine already and will have it in a couple of days :) Hopefully is as good as yours.

Hi Jose, have you wet the leather before stamping? (this might be obvious, but you didn't mention it)
When you hammered the small logo on the cased veg-tan, did the impression last?
what is the pricing of these stamps made?
Daniel Alvarez they vary by design. If you contact them they can provide a quote.
I was just looking for an idea of the price range. Can you give that? Don't necessarily need the exacts
Daniel Alvarez I think around $200
what is the name of deep? where is the benefit
I’m sorry I don’t understand your question.
I like it! Great video 👍

Sorry to hear about the branding iron, but great advice and thank you.
Good songs . . .
You burnt the iron out by leaving it turned on
