Looks great Dave! Now you're big time!!


I don't know about big time Mick!  (7+"

I did order a second stamp though. Marshal Will did the artwork for me. I figured it would come in handy for smaller areas.

Congratulations on the order, Dave. It's nice to have both an oval and a rectangular stamp.

I look forward to your thoughts on the Delrin stamps after you get a chance to try them out. The price is definitely right.

Got my stamps today. Jeff at Grey Ghost Graphics did a fantastic job! Fast delivery in 3 days, and the stamps are super high quality. I can't recommend him enough. The price was $138 shipped for both. I couldn't be happier.

Man, those make a clean impression! They're as good as steel stamps in that. So, maybe you won't get 2000 impressions out of them but how long will it take you to make 2000 x 2 = 4000 leather items to stamp?

Congratulations, those are really fine stamps. You got a great deal, there.

I guess I'll have to start designing my next one to get from Grey Ghost Graphics.

I wanted something different than the usual oval with your logo in it. Something for when I make nontraditional items. So I came up with this.




Here's one with the standard stamp for size comparison.




I know it's a little corny. But it's definitely unique!

Jeff at Grey Ghost Graphics really knocks these Delrin stamps out of the park. And the price is right too.

Now, this is really original. Very cool, pard. I like it a lot. It is a good testament to Grey Ghost to be able to make a stamp with that kind of likeness on it. Looks great! I look forward to seeing it on something.

I just realized I hadn't posted a photo of my Delrin makers stamp. It's from Grey Ghost Graphics. The quality is second to none. Here it is.



It was inspired by a Main & Winchester makers stamp but I've since found it's close to an SC Gallup one, too.

Thanks, Mick. I'm impressed by the Delrin stamps. I use this one with my drill press, which was suggested by ShotgunDave.

That's a good looking stamp Robert. I'm glad you decided to try Grey Ghost. The Delrin stamps are hard to beat.

Thank you, Dave. Thanks, too, for mentioning your use of the drill press to impress it. That works great! I've retired my shot-filled dead blow mallet.

I just had another stamp made by Grey Ghost Graphics. This one is 1-3/8" long. It is inspired by one of H. H. Heiser's stamps. I finally hit the maximum detail point. Any smaller or any more detail and everything would get lost. It came out great, though. It shows how good Jeff's stamp making is.





The one that inspired this one:
