What kind of metal should I use for stamping?

Posted on September 22nd, 2009 by admin in metal | 1 Comment »

I make jewelry and wanted to get into metal stamping. I finally found some ABC stamps. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a metal soft enough to stamp into. I bought a sheet of flashing and some hollow punches. I have punched a few circles, which takes some time, and I seem to not have a problem with stamping into it, but I would like to find some that are either already cut or softer. Any suggestions on what type of metal to use and where to purchase softer metal? Thanks!

What you got seems fine.
