Where do you get those huge "bolts" and nuts, you used to make the risers?

Online from Mac Master and the same sources. 2" pillars, nuts and 2" steel plates, upper one has hard steel plate welded to the bottom.

Paul,
Why not carve in the positive?
Then use as master to make reversed die?
Is this way easier?

Thank you,
michael

The negative image needs more concentrations, but it is much faster, I'm used to carve intaglios.

I was just talking to a friend today about how helpful the Café is and about carving wax stamps.
This just proves my point.

enough info there for some members to perhaps give this fascinating activity a try. that leaves me out , as i currently use a mere 20 ton to press snuff lids and buckles.

Fantastic photo series, Paul! I've added it to the Tips Archive.

Do you have any photos of the process of this type of engraving in onyx or other stone?

 

[PAUL LANTUCH]

Thank you Sam.
No I haven't photos.
