Board: Stamp Carving and Mounting
I think mounting foam under the material while you carve, would allow too much "give" as you use pressure with your tools. That's the way I have always carved! In fact, recently I had to resort to carving before mounting for the first time because the...

I'm amazed in my life how when I meet new people, not boxers, the subject of 'boxing comes into the conversation.

I don't have any brand preference and I don't have a machine but I prefer hand made journals. There are folks in this hobby and on Etsy that make them and are proud to make them. Sometimes you can get lucky and even get them personalized. My last sour...

If you want a nice one, I would go with handmade. Many boxers have bind it all machines and they spiral bound books are nice. Check out etsy!

Board: Stamp Carving and Mounting
I agree Kirbert. I find some issues with carving, especially on pink, are solved when you mount the material. The reduced flex of the material lets you adjust tinier details better than when it is unmounted. The difference of opinions on this may...

I make my own: 1. Get an old hardcover book (thrift store or library sale). Look for one with a cover that appeals to you. 2. Using an XActo knife, I cut off the spine 3. I use ink jet paper to make "signatures" 4. I bind the book using a coptic sti...

We have one correct answer to date. This can be answered with the current clues. Clue 6 = Important for me when traveling to the next Backyard Brawl (or to the NCAA tourney on March 15th)

That reminds me of a box Eidolon once brought to my attention in Vietnam or something and, when searching from Georgia, the box was allegedly located "due north" about 7000 miles or something. He didn't think that seemed correct and thought I should lo...

I've used a different stitch that I can't currently find on YouTube. However, after seeing this video I may change to Coptic stitch.

I was finishing some LTCs that I'm mailing today. I goofed up on what I was writing on the back, but only on 4 of the cards. I decided to glue a piece of paper (of the same color) over the mistake and correct it. On smaller mistakes I've just writte...

I always goof up the back, but by that time, I no longer care. lol

Board: LTC: Tips, Questions, and Stuff
Same here on both comments. Most people aren't looking at the back, unless the rare occasion you are decorating the back also. But by the time I'm onto the back I've already spent so much time on the front that there's no way I am tossing it and star...

My sig stamp is in rough shape, so the backs of my cards are always a mess. I don't really care, though.

Board: LTC: Tips, Questions, and Stuff
That's one of my realized fears. I was taught to put the back information on a piece of paper ~ often it is color coordinated to the front. I computer print a sheet or two of the back panel with title, etc., then sig. stamp them and set aside the ones...

What do you do when the front of the LTC is okay, but you goof up on the back? Simple. Just send the front.

Found an old box today at Riverview Point Preserve. NEVER EAT SOGGY WAFFLES Last found in 2016. No info as to who and/or when planted. FYI It is alive and well, found by accident. 😆

My last source has stopped making journals so I need to find another source. Hmmmmm .... maybe I should I custom journals to my Etsy shop (currently, I just sell upcycled leather bags)

For those making logbooks, what paper do you use? I've used regular copy paper, but want to make a nice one for the live and breathe event. Thanks!

I like to use sticky lables. I have goofy handwriting that is had to read and I know I would mess them up.

I have a very high percentage of failures on the front, so I like your idea of papering over a mistake on the back. As you can see, the back is not too important to anyone. I am happy if I can read an AQ number.

I like Strathmore's Mixed Media 300 Series 5.5 in by 8.5 inches. I've tried a number of logbooks. I like this one because it is a good size to fit in my back pack, the paper is smooth and is a heavy enough weight I can stamp on both sides. 40 sheets...

Good white card stock is good for logbook pages. Packets at Michael's are often on sale.
