Leatherwork embossing plates

[spandit]

Le Prevo offer a service where for £60 (£45 + £5p&p + VAT) you can get a 4"x5" plate etched for embossing your own leatherwork. This works out at £3 a square inch.

I suggest that if we group together we could get this plate ordered with multiple designs on it. Of course, it would have to be cut up & posted but for under a fiver you could have a custom stamp made

So, for 20 sq.in. we need 20 buyers. Of course, if you want multiple inches that's no problem

Copy & paste & add your name. Once we're up to 20 names we'll start sorting things out.

Just a question mate; Can I buy more than one square? I'm thinking of maybe a couple of designs....

Filling up nicely! I'd better think of a design I want made. For those who have signed up, please make sure you have a design drawn that you can email to me in a sufficiently high resolution. Once they're all gathered in, I'll make a composite & send it off to them (unless there is a different company someone can recommend)?

I managed to get on one of these on BB and very pleased with the result. Very crisp lines and a good deep impression if you want to take a clamp to it. (I just stood on this one.) Now epoxied to a block of hardwood. Replaces the one I got from a guy on here a while ago made from a resin type substance...? This is the new one, about 20mm square,



and the older one, about 25mm



If I didn't have one already I'd jump on this!

cheers,

Alan

[mountainm]

I'll take 2 if we need to make up numbers.

SNIP: (unless there is a different company someone can recommend)?

Have you checked out Metallic Elephant? They make foils for the printing presses. I think they might be even more affordable. I'll email them to get a price list

I was going to mention them before but I didn't want to step on no toes.

We're getting there! Forgot to say, if you want a longer design you can order more squares. I'll contact Le Prevo in due course to see what other sizes are available as we've only done the minimum order, assuming more people are interested.

So, looks like we've got enough for a minimum order. If people can amend the list like above with the number of inch squares that they want. I'll try to call Le Prevo tomorrow (Bank Holiday today)

Has anyone got any links or pointers to the kinda' stuff LePrevo can do in terms of intricacy etc of these stamps? I have an idea for one or two, but I don't want to go too complex.

OK, we're up to 3x9". Just had a PM saying prices elsewhere are much cheaper so it might be a lot less than I previously quoted

Once we close the list I'll PM people my email address. Ideally, I'd like the images in .png (2 bit) although .gif, .svg would also work. JPEGs are not the best format as you lose definition with the compression
