Making homemade stamps for numbers

Many self-respecting masters, as in our time and in distant history, have made a homemade tool for their work. It used to be easy to get the right tool and even buy it, but today it would seem that there is nothing there in specialized stores, so as before, craftsmen make their own tools for themselves,
because it’s cheap and easy.

For example, a master who made stamps for knocking numbers on metal, for his homemade he took an old typewriter, took it apart, took the parts he needed, namely the numbers.

Then he took furniture long bolts, and attached stamps to them. As a result, we got a tool for knocking out numbers on soft metal such as aluminum, copper, brass, tin, lead, etc.

And so now you should go directly to the process of creating the tool itself, but first you should familiarize yourself with the list of necessary materials and tools.

Materials
1) furniture bolts
2) numbers from a typewriter

Instruments
1) gas burner
2) drill
3) pliers
4) file

Saws a groove.
Inserts a part from the typewriter into the prepared place.

Tests on a piece of brass trim.
Postponing the received stamp goes to the next.Carries out the same process.Removes all unnecessary.Tests again on trimmed brass sheet.Here are the number of stamps the author has.The author shows how the numbers look.
Testing his tool on a copper part.
So it turned out for the author to fill the numbers on a copper pipe.
A tool has been added to the craftsman’s collection.
