It sure took you long enough!

IMG_8830Finally Jim got around to testing the foil stamping machine! It was donated to the classroom. Lets not even try to guess how long ago we got the hot foil stamping machine. Just know it has been a while. Jeff Mason asked me so often to test it out that I finally gave up and said, it can’t be that hard. I will add more photos soon, but safe to say, it is very easy to use. I grabbed an engraved block from the UW-Madison Extension archive, locked it in the holding channel and rolled some ink using a simple brayer. Pulled down on the handle and applied some heavy pressure in the a book with un covered davey board. For those of you that want to bland stamp into covered book board, we should have this figured out soon. Start thinking about how you want to use it. We are on a hunt for some foil material to stamp in or on to it. Stay tuned.
