Beginner Metal Stamping Advice for Beginners (Pt 3: Supplies)

There's a lot of misinformation out there for metal stamping beginners. In this series of videos, I'll walk you through some of the tools and supplies you'll need for starting off, and address some of the not-so-awesome advice and recommendations I've seen.

In this video, I'll talk about metal stamps and stamping supplies. By starting off with the right supplies and stamps, you'll actually save yourself money and headaches over time!

(Please note that some metal stamps are indeed rated to use on stainless steel, but it's just really important to check your stamps' rating before you accidentally ruin them on the wrong materials.)
