For what it's worth, I can't see your feet either... Does that count?

I use a very specialized clamp... It looks like

I know there are places that will cast your designs in steel, but they aren't cheap.

This guy does very good work, and the prices aren't too bad. And he's close to you. But his stamps are made from Delrin, and are ONLY for veg tanned leather...

I tried making some myself using a Dremel and some files, and a Delrin rod. I made a very nice stamp that I called 'modern art' when my wife asked me what it was, and never used it on any piece I made. However, someone with a bit more patience than I have, and a lot more artistic ability, should be able to carve out some interesting stamps.
