Cool video. This Coat of Arms looks Bavarian. Maybe originally they used an Octoberfest beltbuckle to make the stamp (I think I saw something like this somewhere)? Or maybe some family relations in that direction from the distillery?
Thanks for the video! There's a huge market out there for old boxes like the one you reproduced. Any tips on how to distress them to look older? While we're on the subject of boxes, would love to see something on boxes with concealed compartments. Thanks again!
I'll add it to the video list. For distressing, it's rare that I've done it but I've taken projects outside to drop them in dirt, and drop small metal objects on them like keys. You could darken it by adding a very deluded water bases dye.
Fantastic work, Billy! Really well done! 😃 What kind of foam did you use? Was it EVA? Because I've already thought about it, I just don't know if EVA would work... Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Very cool build! Wait, there's rubber you can laser to make a stamp?! I knew you could cut rubber with a laser, but didn't know you could make a relief design. What would one search for to find the special rubber and settings for software?
I dropped a link in the description for the rubber. If you want to make one, email me through my website and I'll try to describe the settings the best I can.
Love this project. I might have to give this a try sometime. A box like this would make a great gift, especially with a bottle in it 😁 The blade used to cut the finger joints might have been a 4mm kerf blade. Just a quick look around on Google and I found them no problem but I'd probably use a ⅛" or maybe even a router table.
