The Fly Press, The Touchmark Stamp and some silver
Amanda needed some assistance with her touchmark and wanted to stamp some silver discs for her jewlery pieces. We found that a hammer just wasn't going to cut it, so we went to the next biggest thing...a fly press. We attempted different techniques to get a constant result and eventually figured it out!. Let me know who you would have done it!
Smith, and sub! Thanks for watching!!
