Very nice. I love that stamp. Might be inspiration to make a set of stamps similar to this.

Any more cash denoms for that stamp? I could see having a set made in a year or so...

 

[AK Chip]

I think there is a $1 and $5

 

[AK Chip]

Still just operating it manually so the pressure isn't dialed in and the stamp is a bit to big for the surface but I wanted to see how it would look stamped over a removed stamp.

 

[Klobberer]

Let me send you some extra Tmolds to practice on...I'm desperate! Only a couple of racks to stamp and I'm done! Help!

 

[FordPickup92]

Wow those looks great!!!! Super awesome, this is exciting!

Looking really good!

Great work

You should remove the flash (scraping) after stamping to finish them off.
If you are using a Kingsley, I can hook you up with Meatboy/Fabian if you need info on temps, pressure & such.

Thanks! I'll take all the help I can get.

Collin has supplied a bunch of info I haven't put to use yet. I haven't set the machine up to operate properly. Right now I'm just using the temp I was given and then using the manual arm to press the chip. Once I hook up the compressor I will be able to control the pressure and press time to get it dialed in for a consistent stamp.

Kingsley AM 101 is the machine I have.

Thanks again I'll hit you up when I get ready to do production stamping.

I am hoping you are going to offer a hot stamping service . . . . There might be some interest around here.

I have my eye on a pile of blanks that need some bling before going into play. The players around here can't imagine chips without denominations.

Hopefully yours -=- DrStrange

I will help as many projects that I can. The main obstacle will be time. The other stuff I should be able to figure out pretty quick, how to order dies and foil, temps, pressure, and press time that sort of thing.

Next winter I will be able to put in a couple hours a day (watching hockey and stamping chips). If I find some time before that I will hit you up Doc.

Woo-hoo! Looks like my chippies are finally getting made! Thanks Pat!

 

[AK Chip]

nothing new to report other than I received my dies from CPC and I can use them with my stamping machine!! These still need to be scraped.

 

[Davism72]

Interesting, I didn't know scraping was part of the process. How do you do it?

I haven't figured that out yet. Its basically just clean up the stamp where you get over flash, you can see it in between the numbers on this one.

 

[RichMahogany]

Go, go, go!

Good luck getting everything dialed in!

 

[toynoob]

Sweet Pat! I'll be honest though, it's going to get confusing with that many colors as the 5k chip.

Would a soft toothbrush remove the extra?

 

[k9dr]

Hmmm, I wonder if these dies would fit your Kingsley

Shouldn't be a problem.

I just tried it and didnt have much luck.

 

[AK Chip]

So scraping is not fun. However after looking at the chips I stamped I noticed a difference in the amount of flashing, so I'm hoping with a dialed in constant pressure I can eliminate most of it (fingers crossed).

P.S. anyone I help with stamping will be cleaning up the chips themselves.

thought you were removing quarters from your game?

 

[k9dr]

True - these would be commemoratives.

 

[AK Chip]

Small breakthrough!! Temporary stamping area.

Set the machine up with the compressor, played with temps pressure and dwell times. Seem to have it figured out.
