Wow, so simple and a great idea. I have been kicking around ideas for stamping for a while. This ones on my list. Thanks. Mr Mikey.

I made a hand-held stamp alignment jig out of aluminum and put a couple magnets in it to help hold the stamp during setup. (Still have to hold it when striking, of course.)

I really like your setup for using the X travel for spacing.

This is a great idea, it can be adapted for any size of letter/number punch and and some simple measurements and calculations can work out the travel for each letter to get the kerning right. Well done.

I like it …will make use of the idea as hand stamping has always been challenging
