As was mentioned in the previous post, I needed to figure out a way to transfer the the insignia onto the ring. I finally decided to make a hot stamp, as it was going to need to be hardened and hold its shape, I needed to use a steel that could be hardened and hold a good edge. A previous stamp that I had made I discovered started to deform and get rounded because although it looked like a piece of stainless steel it didn't harden.This is when I became fully appreciative of my find of a car shock absorber spring on Sunday the 2nd of March. Springs have a high carbon content, which is great for i needed to make.
