Havent got a press yet, so was looking through TH-cam and came across this, First class tutorial, some first class tips like ....ensuring that you get sets from the same manufacture, the gigs i like. i can see i have saved money already my not making mistakes that i most defiantly would have.
Aloha from Hawaii! Really appreciate this video. I just purchased a similar machine(same company), and the instruction manual was lacking in thorough instruction. Your tutorial brought me up to speed. Loved the positioning jig too. Mahalo and God Bless You and Yours.
Thanks so much for this. It helped me immensely to get started with mine! Some additional tips for those getting started: - Ask whoever you're buying your brass set from to drill a threaded M4 (4mm) hole in the centre of the T-slot holder that comes with any new lettering set - Also make sure you have a threaded M4 bar / rod that's 3-4cm long to fix the T-slot holder in place on the machine, as shown in the video. Most I found on eBay were 5cm long and I had to cut off the excess with a hacksaw. An M4 rod (4mm wide) fits perfectly in the U-slot that the machine has in the heating plate. I think an M5 would fit as well, but probably quite snugly. Don't forget to buy a washer and a wing nut to tighten too!
This was one of the best videos I have watched in really long time and I do watch a lot of them. Thank you very much. Except the fact you can explain well. Your personality us amazing.

really enjoyed the video, is there any chance you'd be able to make a video showing the process of balancing the plate on this machine? I have one and I'm really struggle to get the plate perfectly flat.
. this is a hi from me from Tripoli, Libya thanks a TON for all the precise information that you gave us, here i am watching your video before i buy the machine. thank you very much you good man.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have watched so many on this machine and not gotten the information out of them for the questions I had about it. Your videos are so informative, by not speaking on it with the machine next to you. You can see you truly want to inform other through demonstrations with a working machine while you’re explaining your own experiences, your own trial’s & error’s to help educate others to test for themselves. I have now subscribed so I can watch more of your videos to learn from your experience. I also have Lupus so my hands go through cycles of not working so well. So your video messages and honesty helps to keep my spirit up that it can be done if you just make a process that works for yourself. Thank you again 😊
Hello. Thank you for your kind words. I'm pleased you found the video helpful and that it answered your questions. I had to look up Lupus, as I hadn't heard of it. That sounds like a challenging condition and I can see how this would affect your hands. Best of luck and keep making the effort - It's better to keep going with your hobbies than to give in to your condition. Geordie.

I was thinking of buying a basic hot foil stamping machine and came across your video while looking for recommendations on youtube. This was so helpful. Especially the last part about the stamping templates. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for an amazing tutorial, it has inspired me to buy one! Does anyone know what size screw in rod I should get for the dies to fit the U slot of the machine? I have measured the width of it and it is exactly 5mm, so should I get a 4mm screw or will a 5mm one fit?
Amazing tutorial! I had never heard of hot foiling so I asked Cousin Google who gave me a YT link to Uncle Geordie. Now I can set up a die for the WT-90AS Foil Stamping Macine to accurately stamp personalized leather key rings! #Winning
Hello, great video. I use several brass stamps but none have the bolt attachment or thread. Is there another way to fix the brass stamp to the unit? Thanks
Hi Geordie Nice to see someone talking about there skills and there illnesses, you are great at explaining the tips of your craft, I myself have to self isolate as iam CEV and your videos on leather craft along with the clear tuition keep me on the go. Thanks and keep it up.

My plate shifts -Up and Down, so it’s not stamping correctly. The back part stamps fine but the front of the stamp barely appears. I already tried adjusting the bolts, per your instructions, to no avail. How do I adjust the entire plate? Suggestions?? Thanks I ave the WT-90DS
Hi. If all eight nuts are tight and the plate is moving when you press down, then there may be a fault with the machine. OR, there is a small bolt on the right of the press that tightens the ram. Try adjusting that.
Geordie could you tell me what size the letters are in the stamps that you use please.They look like the perfect size.Also Where could I purchase them from.Thankyou

Hi. You usually buy your letter set and the letter holder from the same supplier at the same time. But check that the holder will fit your machine. Some machines have a bolt on system, others don't.
Thank you!! I was looking all over the place for a demonstration of a good way to align the letters consistently. Your template trick is brilliant! I’ll have to get my hands on some of that mounting board
This is such a great video. Beautiful explanations, I was finally able to level my machine out after hours and hours of wasted time trying. Thank you for making this for everyone to see.

Wonderful job! As soon as I saw the air quotes on "temperature" I realized I had been taking the wrong approach. I also like your use of a small square to align the die. The little sled is brilliant. The only tweak I will make is to use leather as the template material to hold the work.

Thank you, thank you, thank. I have exactly the same machine and I have struggled and dreaded the stamping process…hardest time getting things lined up. Your jig idea is absolutely genius! Two thumbs up 👍🏾. And a new subscriber. Thank you 🙏🏾
Hi Geordie, thanks for the tutorial and info. I am curious about the letters stamp holder you have. I bought individual letters and would like a good storage system for them. Can you share if and how you made it?
@@HobbyBloxs good Idea, Thanks. I'll give it a try. Maybe you can do a tutorial on Brass letter stamp storage. I did a search and couldn't find any. The wooden box on Aliexpress wouldn't hold 2 or 3 alphabet set.
Very nice detailed tutorial, thanks! Do you have 5x7, 7x9 or 10x13cm version of the machine? Do you think 5x7cm version is enough to use with letter holders to make mostly two letter initials even if the brass holder is long? Letters holders I often see with M5 thread are 10cm long.
Great tutorial! I pull them all out and spell it first, then put them in backward so I don’t miss any letters. It also “guarantees” I have the letters right side up (thicker part at the bottom) as you explained.

*Works perfectly for my use as a heated press **MyBest.Tools** Space between the ram jack and the base is a little tight. Make sure you set the ram jack arm so that it's in a position for you to get maximum leverage on whatever you're pressing. You may have to unbolt the front plate of the press and realign the ram in the teeth so that the arm is not at an awkward angle when fully cranked down.Other than aligning the ram in the teeth with the crank arm this .5 ton arbor press comes out of the box pretty much ready to use.*

Really enjoyed this video. You're brilliant at explaining things. Your presenting skills are fantastic, it felt like you are giving a one to one lesson. Thanks very much for sharing your skills and knowledge. 👍🏻
Great tutorial!Do you think there is any terms of quality difference between this machine and high profile ones like dreamworks that cost around 1000 dollars?
Hi. Like all things in life - You get what you pay for. The cheap machine will do everything the more expensive ones can but require more setting up. As for the build quality - there isn't a big difference.

Thank you so much for posting this. I really enjoyed watching. You shared a ton of useful tips that I will definitely be making note of. Hope you've been well during this pandemic, much love from Canada!!
Hi Mike. It depends on the type of keyring you are making. If it's a single layer - like a key strap, I'd say about 3-4mm. If it's a fold-over type, like a key fob, I'd say 1-2mm. Hope that helps.
@@HobbyBloxs may i ask, do you recommend embossing BEFORE or AFTER applying conditioners like fiebing's 'Aussie leather conditioner' or 'resolene'? Thanks again.

- Also make sure you have a threaded M4 bar / rod that's 3-4cm long to fix the T-slot holder in place on the machine, as shown in the video.

Hi. If all eight nuts are tight and the plate is moving when you press down, then there may be a fault with the machine. OR, there is a small bolt on the right of the press that tightens the ram. Try adjusting that.
Geordie could you tell me what size the letters are in the stamps that you use please.They look like the perfect size.Also Where could I purchase them from.Thankyou
The stamps are 6mm. There is a link in the description.
Thank you so much for sharing. Amazingly helpful information and knowledge!

How do I know which size letters fit? Or do the letters fit different machines. I’m a beginner so don’t know much about letter stamping
Hi. You usually buy your letter set and the letter holder from the same supplier at the same time. But check that the holder will fit your machine. Some machines have a bolt on system, others don't.
Thank you!! I was looking all over the place for a demonstration of a good way to align the letters consistently. Your template trick is brilliant! I’ll have to get my hands on some of that mounting board
I'm pleased you found it useful.
This is such a great video. Beautiful explanations, I was finally able to level my machine out after hours and hours of wasted time trying. Thank you for making this for everyone to see.
Hello Siamak. I'm pleased you found my video useful. All the best for 2022.
This was very helpful! I've been struggling with lining up my designs...Geordie! God bless!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your recognition of our brand.😁😘

Do you have any recommendations for using it to just stamp the leather without foil, temperature wise?
You just need to experiment.
Wonderful job! As soon as I saw the air quotes on "temperature" I realized I had been taking the wrong approach. I also like your use of a small square to align the die. The little sled is brilliant. The only tweak I will make is to use leather as the template material to hold the work.

Glad it helped!
Hi Geordie, Great video, when will the website be up and running again?
Hi Graham. The website is closed, due to lack of support. It will re-open as a training/information site, when I have time to set it up.
Hello Geordie!
Thank you for the inspirational video! What size press board do you use? Maybe you already said it in the video, but I'm just asking because my English is not that good.
Looking forward to your reply!
Have a nice day!
140cm x 160cm.
Amazing. So innovative!!
Glad you think so!
Great content and I love the organization of your shop.
Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!
It helped me so much + I love your personality, you are so calm and a great teacher :)
You are so welcome!
Nice tutorial - thanks - One thing is that the IR Thermometer will give very inaccurate results from a shiny surface :)

What does it mean if everything looks run together after stamping
It means either your temperature is wrong or your pressure time is wrong.
Thank you, thank you, thank. I have exactly the same machine and I have struggled and dreaded the stamping process…hardest time getting things lined up. Your jig idea is absolutely genius! Two thumbs up 👍🏾. And a new subscriber. Thank you 🙏🏾
You are so welcome!
Hi Geordie, thanks for the tutorial and info. I am curious about the letters stamp holder you have. I bought individual letters and would like a good storage system for them. Can you share if and how you made it?
Hi. Mine is just a plastic box with a foamboard base, which I divided with strips of foamboard to grip the brass letters securely. Hope this helps.
@@HobbyBloxs good Idea, Thanks. I'll give it a try. Maybe you can do a tutorial on Brass letter stamp storage. I did a search and couldn't find any. The wooden box on Aliexpress wouldn't hold 2 or 3 alphabet set.
Very helpful and friendly session! Thank you so much Geordie!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice detailed tutorial, thanks! Do you have 5x7, 7x9 or 10x13cm version of the machine? Do you think 5x7cm version is enough to use with letter holders to make mostly two letter initials even if the brass holder is long? Letters holders I often see with M5 thread are 10cm long.
I am producing a new video showing a larger/better machine being released in the next day or so. This will help to answer your questions.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I had one question, could an Arbor press also be used for hot foil stamping?
Great tutorial! I pull them all out and spell it first, then put them in backward so I don’t miss any letters. It also “guarantees” I have the letters right side up (thicker part at the bottom) as you explained.
Great tip!
Excellent tips sir. Love your jigs. Can’t wait to design my own.

awesome video
Thanks for the visit
*Works perfectly for my use as a heated press **MyBest.Tools** Space between the ram jack and the base is a little tight. Make sure you set the ram jack arm so that it's in a position for you to get maximum leverage on whatever you're pressing. You may have to unbolt the front plate of the press and realign the ram in the teeth so that the arm is not at an awkward angle when fully cranked down.Other than aligning the ram in the teeth with the crank arm this .5 ton arbor press comes out of the box pretty much ready to use.*

Thank you, Geordie, for sharing this video, I have been considering a similar machine, which is extremely useful for beginners leather crafters like myself.
Sir, I am hot stamping foil machine Operater.
Glad it was helpful!
Really enjoyed this video. You're brilliant at explaining things.
Your presenting skills are fantastic, it felt like you are giving a one to one lesson.
Thanks very much for sharing your skills and knowledge. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial!Do you think there is any terms of quality difference between this machine and high profile ones like dreamworks that cost around 1000 dollars?
Hi. Like all things in life - You get what you pay for. The cheap machine will do everything the more expensive ones can but require more setting up. As for the build quality - there isn't a big difference.
How do I protect my luxury leather wallet silver foil stamp from fading? Would a waterproof spray or other glue can work?

Hi. There is a link in the description.
Thank you so much for posting this. I really enjoyed watching. You shared a ton of useful tips that I will definitely be making note of. Hope you've been well during this pandemic, much love from Canada!!
Glad it was helpful!
Could you tell me please what thickness leather do I need for making key rings
Hi Mike. It depends on the type of keyring you are making. If it's a single layer - like a key strap, I'd say about 3-4mm. If it's a fold-over type, like a key fob, I'd say 1-2mm. Hope that helps.
Brilliant. Answered everything i wanted to know and more.Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
@@HobbyBloxs may i ask, do you recommend embossing BEFORE or AFTER applying conditioners like fiebing's 'Aussie leather conditioner' or 'resolene'? Thanks again.
I always emboss before. The finish will then get into the folds of the emboss and create nice shadows in the piece.
Hi , could you please tell me if i could use this on bio thane dog leads , or would it melt it ? thanks for the video
Hi. I have no experience of using Biothane, so I can't say.
