That’s a different can of worms, anyway (metal stamps). Also logistically, you’re talking about carving a small surface area of a smallish piece of steel about 4" long. Like say carving the end of the eraser on a shorter pencil. Even if the shapeoko did steel, not sure that works physically.
Um, the stamp-making thing, it might have been something I chased extensively a couple years back.
The short version, there are several active fb groups dedicated to stamp making, or where you can get handmade ones. There’s a guy that sells his lessons. There’s an e-book on amazon on the subject. There’s a ton of YouTube videos.
Normal process is first, get the right sort of metal. Tool steel that you can oil or water quench/harden (forget name, I’m very very sure @Photomancer can say. I kinda forgot because I already have leftovers from tool making in a chasing and repoussé class that water quenches/hardens so haven’t sought out supplies again yet. O2??? Is that even a thing? I keep meaning ask about mild vs tool steel. I have no idea. Vague vague memory…)
There’s another group of stamp makers on fb, two really, that do a lot from rebar (Navajo/Diné, if I recall) that stems from a “traditional” use of the metal they had available (scrounge) at the time, translated into now. The issue with rebar is the metal content can vary wildly. There’s a particular kind preferred but I forget name. Most of these stamps tend toward southwest type designs. I have a few since I think its cool what they’re doing (keeping that tradition alive and its created a nice cottage industry in those communities).
Other general fb stamp groups, designs vary quite a bit. And you can get custom made if you don’t want to make.
Some groups are general interest or buy/sell, and some are centric to specific makers (Danny Wade, Lyndon Tsosie are the Navajo/Diné artists, using mostly rebar-based stamps, and Ryan Lingner is just a good general maker, his based on tool steel and he has some program he sells/teaches, plus there’s others I’m forgeting. Those are the the big names.).
Shaping, you carve the stamp (usually folks use flex shaft on steel held in a vise) or manually file it (please don’t contaminate JSM files with steel)
Then the key is it has to be tempered properly. Untempered, it will lose the stamp shape and mushroom the striking end. Tempered wrong, it can break/shatter in use, which can be dangerous. Crappy tempering (seen on cheap “handmade” ebay stamps) just can go all kinds of wrong.
On tool steel, often they will use a torch and heat to straw color (I think), quench etc (confirm details independently) and often its more tempering the stamp and striking ends, part of the middle left softer to absorb force. Other artists use kilns. The rebar ones are usually tempered in mini-forges. Good YouTube videos on both.
