Thanks ! Couple of notes - "Meat Can" refers to the bottom half of the mess kit that has a handle that can be stamped, and the most common size single hole tag is 1-3/8" aluminum, 0.080 (or 0.081") thick, with a 3/16" hole.
Hey Man! Awsome video, enjoyed it a ton! I just recently acquired one of these stamping kits, and I am missing 1 of the guides, the main one for the dog tag (with the half circle). I cant seem to find any spares online. Would you be willing to trace yours for a paper template so I could make a spare?
I'm glad you liked the video. If you are interested in getting a set made for your son, there are a few people with these kits selling dog tags online. When I was doing research for this video, I remember seeing someone on Amazon selling dog tags, as well as maybe one or two people on Etsy.
A Humble Collector Yeah I found a guy on eBay they actually show a similar box in one of the pictures. I should be getting them here next week, you should do a demo video.

Thank you for the clarification and the measurements!

Glad you enjoyed it! I think I can definitely arrange that! Shoot me an email using the one on my about page, I'll try to get it to you.
Very cool I hoping to get some made for my son

I'm glad you were able to find some. When I get around to getting some blanks made, I will definitely do a demo of it!
I'm able to pick one up for 150. Is it worth it?
If it has all the pieces, thats a decent price.
