Engraving aluminium stamps

I have been experimenting quite alot with engraving the past days, and these are the latest results in aluminium, the intention is to use my new knowledge to make custom wax stamps. The flat knurling where produced by running the pattern over the part again, but in the reverse direction.


Later, i made a case to fit the big pokemon symbol, lined with royal blue velvet. For this box, i choose to embed a M5 nut in a triangle pocket, making the hinge for pivoting lid type box.


Visible in this picture, is the velvet pad before and after covering. Notice the leftover tabs on the side of the part, used for keeping the part stuck to the material from which it has been cut, these where cleaned of with a router before covering.


The box assembled, ready to accept the velvet pad. The box where treated to achieve the old finish, first with oil, then it was torched, before it was oiled, sanded and then again torched. As a last touch, finishing oil where applied.


The pokemon token laying in it's case. visible to the front of the case is the embeded magnet which mates with another magnet in the lid, keeping the box shut.
