Thank you to www.carolinash... for sponsoring this Video!
In this video you watch me make a die stamp for a full size license plate. I use 1" thick aluminum I purchased from McMaster Carr
I cut the material about .25" at its deepest. the actual impression on the letters in .030" deep. the inner and outer plates are offset .015" .. not enough ...reason I make adjustments after the first impression. The plate blanks .05MM thick are from amazon.

I'm surprised you didn't spray them with wax and then run a belt sander over them, followed by a spray of colour ... seems like a lot of work to use vinyl.

@springwoodcottage4248 5 лет назад

Bravo! So 21st century to cut the formers & the vinyl so clean & accurate & so 19th century to press them with a hammer, so beautiful & harmonising that tech across the centuries works to make this magic happen & how aptly, masterfully & unexpected was the finish with the boots left behind. Thanks for sharing!

@helicopterdriver 5 лет назад

A sheet of thin tooling urethane over bottom die makes for cleaner/softer impressions. I used to make dies for a 330 ton press. Also cuts down on wear of the die for long runs. We also used it on press brakes for custom stainless steel parts. No tooling marks. NIce work.

@jamesmendyk8546 5 лет назад

Before laying the mask over the vinyl put the sticky side on your shirt. It will pick up a little lint making the vinyl release easier when pealing off the clear mask

@nunolourenco1532 5 лет назад

Could you just roll paint on top of the raised letters? It would streamline the production of these... Also, for added realism, you could use reflective paint or - better yet - make your own by just adding tiny glass beads/balloons!

@firechicken5 5 лет назад

Nuno Lourenço I was thinking the same but this gives a much cleaner look with less chance for screwing it up

@nunolourenco1532 5 лет назад

Hans Idso, too clean maybe? :) Other option would be the letter press if the ink allow for it.

@MukYJ 5 лет назад

He has several printing presses, I bet one could be adjusted to the thickness of the plates so it would roll ink on just the raised letters.

@watahyahknow 5 лет назад

another way i seen that done was by making the letters and surround from sheetmetal glueing them to a piece of steel and press it with the metall licenceplate in between in a piece of high density rubber , makes the edges a little less sharp but takes a lot less work to make

@BoomerKeith1 5 лет назад

Hit that vinyl with a super stiff nylon brush over the masking. Good for texture etc. We do this when applying vinyl text to textured walls or wood. (I run a sign shop). They even make a special brush for this that's got a straight handle.

@EcoMouseChannel 5 лет назад

Your front plate in many states can be a vanity plate. I've seen custom made plates with different color schemes, but with the actual license plate number. I know a guy who owned a sign shop and did just that, and got the OK from California Highway Patrol. It's the plate with the registration tag that has to be officially issued. You can't make those and not get pulled over.

@InstrucTube 5 лет назад

You could easily just mask off the plate after the yellow paint went on and spray the letters black, which is actually what I figured he'd do. It would save time and effort.

@MattWeber 5 лет назад

@@InstrucTube could easily as well just make a stamp for one of his book presses as well with the cnc and a bit of hard rubber.

@CondredgeDole 5 лет назад

@@InstrucTube I haven't experienced masking off detailed designs like lettering to be easy or fast. I mean, probably the fastest way to do that would be to use the vinyl cutter to create a stencil to do the masking - and then you might as well just use the stickers.

@InstrucTube 5 лет назад

@@MattWeber I actually forgot about the presses.

@InstrucTube 5 лет назад

@@CondredgeDole eh, fair enough. I'd still say that the paint is going to be more durable than vinyl letters, so id go with the stencil.
