Design
Stamps
are a bit tricky. I highly recommend you practice on some cheaper metal
before diving into your Sterling Silver or Gold Filled. Click here to purchase a piece of copper sheet for practicing.
For
best results with Design Stamps, make sure there is NO padding under
your Bench Block, make sure you are working on a stable table, and use a
utility hammer (nail pounding hammer) which weighs at least 16 ounces.
Feel free to hit the stamp more than once, but hold that stamp steady,
making sure you don't shift at all between hits. The more confident you
are with the hammer and the strength behind it, the
better your impression will be.
