I have gotten a bunch of orders in lately for custom stamped buckles. I was out in the shop today stamping a customer's initials into a buckle, so I thought I would do a few others while I was at it.
For the George Orwell fan:
This is my flypress. It's such an awesome machine. I use it all the time.
I have a ton of different jigs and tools I've made for it. This is the setup I use for stamping.
Here is the setup I use for bending the buckles into shape.
It's pretty safe. I've only had one accident with it so far. A few years ago, I got my finger caught in between the handle and a ring I was bending and my nail popped off like the press was opening a can of soda. At the ER the nurse kept asking, "Are you okay? You look pale." and I was all "Really? Well, I suppose it could have something to do with the fact that I just smashed my finger in an industrial press." Good times.
