    I got a brass ring holding base for stamping. It’s got various shapes and sizes of ring shapes cut out in it to set your ring in to prevent it moving when you’re stamping it.

    I usually just put it on the bench and prayed before I hit it. Thanks!

    them brass blocks to conform to the back of rings are really good for holding the back steady and conform to the ring shape while you stamp

    I use a thinner soft leather when I stamp my mark, (and a repousè hammer), I'm surprised such a thick piece of leather allowed you to strike a good mark! I keep soft leather about 2mm thick about for this and to double sided tape to the jaws of pliers to avoid marks when necessary.
    Tks for your great channel.

    A hardwood block works really well too but it needs to be a very hard wood like Polonia, if you can get it

    I do it on a piece of MDF on my metal block and it works fine. It grips a bit so it prevents slips, but it does leave a bit of a flat. I will try leather next! Thanks for the idea!

    What about using the 'pliers' type of marking? Pressure may need a little practice, but I'm sure the knack would come quickly.

    Stamping is a whole separate art. Two main things to know: 1. The metal block and everything beneath must be as rigid as possible. Sand bag is ok, rubber pad is not. If you work on the table, stamp where the table leg is. 2. To avoid flat spots, use masking tape. Just one layer. Ziplock bag is too thick for this

      Zip lock bag is too thick, yet he just used a thick piece of leather which worked perfectly... 🤔

      @@Ben6Strings It worked perfectly but could have worked better yet if he used a thinner thing :) deeper imprint, crisper lines, less backprint

    Stamp it before you turn up the shank

    Seems to me that your bench is not solid enough.

    Perhaps I'm, missing the point here. But why are you stamping your rings in the first place? leave this to the Assay Office.

      Assay office isn't going to put his initials on it and in the USA we don't send our jewelry off for hallmarking. This is done by the jeweler.

      I keep my own sponsors mark which I use as a makers mark on anything I'm proud of making, the assay office add their marks if decide to hallmark the piece.
