How to Make a Touchmark Stamp!

- A revisit to my first blacksmithing video I uploaded to TH-cam almost two years ago.
The original video has been bugging me for a long time, as to this day it is is my most viewed video... and yet it is frankly terrible.
I therefore decided I would give it a bit of a revamp as I’ve been planning to make myself a new, smaller touchmark stamp anyway.
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for watching!

"... now I've got a copper pot!" 😂
This was a great video to watch. Thanks, Phil!
No, no... thank you! 😁
Well done…but I think I’ll avoid EN-24 myself!
Thanks Phil :)
Actually listened to your first videos description. Surprise to me! It’s not click bait🤣
I'm an honest guy! It's awful. 😂
Nice clean looking touch mark Phil. Wish mine was as easy to design. Trying to mash an F into a W and still be able to file it into the end of a small enough bar is #@%# hard.
Well Done👍⚒
Thanks!
You could just stick two little lines coming off the last line of the W at 90⁰ angle? Heh. :)
Nice video touchmark look good. Thats a complicated steel you are using .
Thanks Gurvinder! Glad you like it. :)
Phil look up Robb Gunter's Super quench recipe for A36 mild steel.
Noted. Cheers!
Great video Phil... Could I use a old drill bit?
The honest answer is I don't know, but personally I wouldn't try... purely because I've snapped so many drill bits in my time that I don't think they're made of a very impact/shatter resistant steel.
@@PJTForging cheers Phil... Thank you
@@recyclerman1 like I say mate, mild steel is fine, or if you want I'd recommend an old chisel.
Just thinking about it, potentially a drill bit may work, assuming it's a HSS bit, they're designed to be pretty hard and tough, I guess so long as you tempered it correctly, it might work? Dunno. Give it a try and let me know. 🤣
@@PJTForging cheers buddy.. My thinking was if it was already hardened steel.. But like you said it could shatter.. I don't have the place or tools to heat, but I can temper... But I have masonry chisels
@@recyclerman1 baking tray, pliers and a hair dryer is all you need. :)
Good video, but always quench on a rising heat..
Not that it matters for this purpose, I suppose.
