Iron Heart UK's Stencil Making Machine

^This…....and?

[Giles]

When this arrived, it had clearly taken a drop in transit.  The "GILES" stencil I did above, was all it was able to do before it gave up.  The card carrier (arrowed on the left) had taken the full force of the drop and was bent in 2 dimensions, it had even popped off the chromed triangular cover on the left hand side.  Luckily one of my mates in the yard where our office is, runs a light engineering company.  He stuck it it in his 10 ton press a few (12) times and got it to within 4 thou of perfection.

I'm greasing it and rebuilding it atm….

Sorry for the 2 years' old thread resurrection, but damn this is awesome!

How much do I need to pay for a stencil of my choosing? I lost the stencil I was issued in Basic Training/Boot Camp YEARS ago

[Giles]

What do you need?

Do it. And well done for kick starting the thread and bringing it to my attention.

I was about to ask if anyone uses stencils to mark their clothing and found this thread. I was never military but it seems like a fun way to personalize a piece.

@corralitos Giles punched my name into a piece of carboard when I was visiting Gosport. I sprayed that onto one of the pocket bags of my UHR I bought there. I think I have a photo on here somewhere of it but not this thread.

@Oaktavia, that's awesome, I'll see if I can find it.
If only it made sense to ship a piece of cardboard overseas . I'll see if I can find someone local to punch me a card so I can get to work.

@corralitos I used just a generic stencil to put my name on my MF Tripper bag, worked great

@Oaktavia I was scrolling the 634 XHS thread and I think I saw this, is it also signed by Haraki? Super cool.

[Oaktavia]

@Jord yes, and Giles as well. It is a pair of 888SUHR

[corralitos]

@Oaktavia @Anesthetist did you bother with a fabric paint (or just used what was on hand)?

@corralitos we used Texpens in the Navy.
