I am gonna be making some stamps so looking for inout on materials and bits to use.

Any advice is good advice…I did trawl the Forum and saw many differing ideas…

I heard a potato work pretty good.

I had some success at Christmas using Lino, that I’d frozen first as I found it was hard enough to cut, whereas “raw” Lino just got bound up on the bit

Here is a video where a person made a stamp with their CNC. Of course remember to reverse things left to right so that they print correctly.

I made this one. My materials are listed in the post, under the images. If you want to know the exact product I used, I can check my Amazon purchase history.

On Friday, I tried out an idea in the workshop. I am happy with how it came out. Now to make my own stamp image, rather than just grabbing an icon from the icon bank. [stampopen] [stampclosed] Materials: oak, linoleum, inkpad foam Multi-stage carve Sanded, one coat polyurethane

Lineolum, potato, soap bars, Delrin/POM, Hockey puck, wood… There are options

Freezing the lino is a great idea, JephM! I did have to really work with mine at not-freezing temp. It’s just so soft.
