Its about time I started putting some kind of makers mark on my work
and wondered about how and where one might get such a thing made. Im
guessing it would take the form of some kind of hardened steel
punch, probably milled on some kind of super-small-scale mill.
Any info on where would be great, but im also interested in the
process of making a m.m. punch as well.

Hi Ben, Australian Jewellers Supplies will organise one for you to
suit your design and requirements.They are Brisbane based but I
think they have an outlet in Sydney. Christine in Sth Aust.
Ben: There is a company that specializes in making stamps in Long
Island City NY. We use him for our stamps. Most stamps we use are
generic industry standard trademark stamps. So, I am sure he can make
it. If you can draw a design that suits your needs he can make it.
Make sure you tell him what you are using it for and that it should
have a large enough base to hold in your hand. Reason for this
being; many of his stamps are made to fit in power press dies or
other machine tools and are usually to small to handle for hand
applications. Pasted below is the address.

Another tip if you’re having a stamp made: Be sure they use square
or rectangular stock. It’s much easier to square up/align the mark
that way. Round stock is a pain in the butt! Beth
