please note** I used rings for the circular designs, but then a washer and another outer ring which keep the shallow areas FLAT! Using ALL rounded rings will make your areas between shallow and a rise, very smooth and ugly, this way it's a crisp line I also have another question If I pre-cut my 2 up by 2-1/2 width plates and then stamp, I believe this will allow the edges to warp. If I use a whole sheet of 8 - 10" hobby brass, I may waste more, but it'll save me hammering edges, thus marking em!!! I spent a couple nights, or 3, getting this working...It's a thick tin can covered in tape with the motifs stuck to it. I am sorry for the unprofessional ism but I am not going to cast dies etc just for a stamp. I also couldn't find my double sided tape :/ I hope the results to you guys, are just the same
