First try at a stamp pen stuck them on a maple blank and CA'd them. Do you know if the CA will do anything to the stamps?
Thanks

Thanks. The Post Master in town will probably get this one. She is my sisters mother-in.

That is a cool looking pen. If a first or second grade kid could use one of those in class, they would be the envy of the room. Not to say it is childish looking, it looks great I love the colors and they are well laid out .

Looks great Rich! Nice job and nice selection of stamps.

I was in the post office the other day and saw those stamps and thought they would make a nice pen, but I have not gotten into casting yet. That confirms my thoughts, it looks fantastic!!!

Very nice.
Looks like I need to make a trip to the post office this week.

I picked up a set of these stamps for the same reason... I'm holding on to them until I get better with the casting.

That is one sharp looking stamp pen. If I understood correctly, no casting involved here. Just turn a wood blank to slightly undersize, apply stamps, put layers of CA on pen, & then finish as usual. For those of us who have not got into casting yet, we can make a pen like this without waiting on casting skills.

Thanks for displaying this pen. I have not tried this out yet but I'm ready to gather a few stamps & try one.

That is one awesome looking pen!!!

Haven't done anything like a stamp pen, but I will probably try one this week. My son and daughter-in-law just got back from their honeymoon today. Maybe I can get it done before they see us in a couple of days.

 

[RDH79]

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Nope there was no casting involved. The hardest part was sticking the stamps on. Then I CA'd just like it was a wood blank. I picked the 2 best movies to show the full stamp . But you can tell what the others are also. I bought some of the Civil War, Cherry Blossoms at Washington D.C. and Willie Stargell( Pitts Pirates player) from when I was a kid. Hope to make a seirra or aero sometime.
So go ahead and try it it was really easy.

So I attempted one of these stamp pens today. The CA just wiped off the stamp ink. Any idea what I did wrong?

Maybe treat them as you would a decal applying a sealer over the stamps first.

Hi Stephen. I will try to write this betwen customers. What I done was slow the lathe down as slow as it would go. Then on the first coat I had a good puddle of med ca on a piece of (I use the thin foam that is layed down under hardwood floors) and only make 1 pass no pressure put on the stamps shut the lathe off and don't touch it for 5 mins then just do a 6 or more layers of ca. I quit using paper towel a couple yrs ago you can get a thicker layer of ca on in less time. You could also stop the lathe and spin by hand hope this helps.

Or maybe I was just lucky.

Really funny, my wife bought a sheet of these and I had the same thought to make one...just never got around to it.

Looks good. They sold out of these at our post office.
