Jig for punching or stamping letters straight

Описание: This is just a small jig for stamping or punching letters (or numbers) on metal pieces. Usually this could be done with some tape, or some kind of straight edge. I wanted to get the same spacing between the letters. In this example I used another punch as a spacer, but one could easily make a half sized spacer in for example.

I stumbled on this idea from Tom Walter. He had one made in metal :    • Видео   and I was thinking this could be made in wood too. All credits goes to Tom!

I have used this jig a couple of times, and it works with good result every time!

If I would make this again, I would shim the middle part a bit thinner so that the punchers/stamps isnt that loose. There is not much play, but I would like it to be forced down a bit.

This is made out of some scrap/left over red oak strips (trims) and some 6 mm plywood.

This video was shot before I had my anvil restored. So there is still some rust on it here, just so you dont think that it has rusted again. Also, I'm trying this without music this time...
