Would love for you (or brother) to come up with another modification; holding round stock for stamping your/my ball-making mandrels. Appreciate all your great ideas and methods. Thanks from the land of OZ (KS-USA).
You could also scribe a centre line and stamp width increment lines on the face or top edge of the angle iron, that would make text centering and spacing easier? Then you'd only need a pencil centre mark on the brass plate before positioning under the clamp. Probably a stupid idea I dunno :D
A good idea Steve. One comment.I learned early in my apprenticeship, a jig guides the tool and a fixture does not. The distinction seems to be lost these days especially in Aerospace industry where I work now,
Replace the upper bar with a bit of box steel (with holes drilled). This would take a step out of lining up and clamping. Good looking jig as is though.
So now you just need to come up with a method for horizontal spacing. We've all seen crooked lettering on machinery, the vertical alignment is not often the problem, the kerning is. So many people go by the width of the stamp, but that does not work out for many letters. Any thoughts?

good idea steve simple but very effective.

Tonosho metal stamps alignment tools, you can try
Very clever!

Get on Steve that’s good.

The jig is goog for flat metal but what about using on large items such as a planer etc?
Muy buen video
Hi, Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comments.
Good fix for alignment! Thanks.
