Curved ID bar

Hi all

I've ordered some curved ID bars to stamp and I've only just clicked, how am I going to stamp a curved bar on a flat bench block!

Can anyone help? 😂

Thanks

Setters wax, pitch, matsu yani - build up a small mound of it on e.g. a small piece of plywood, stick the ID bar to that (use a heatgun, it's less faff than a torch) and once it has cooled you can stamp the curved surface.

Of curse you can just hunt around the house for a curved wooden object, or file a piece of wood to the right curve, to rest your pieces on. You might have a wooden clothes hanger to cut up for instance.

You could also use a bangle mandrel, steel or wood, resting on its side.

The pieces could then probably be held in place with masking tape, or heavy elastic bands for stamping. Dennis.

Thanks for your replies ! 😊😊
