| There are a few reasons to make your own stamp. Geocaching for starters, where there are certain caches known as letterbox style, in which you need to add your stamp to the log book, so come up with a custom stamp for that. This is presently mine, though I'm actually going to upgrade it to be the letters K.T. like my signature. As of present though, it is the humble Metroid ^_^. I've made several Metroid stamps before as well. Approx. 2016 |

| This was for my old business name Thingies and Stuff, the logo for it. The business has since changed names to 'A nest of dragons' however, and will need a new stamp designed for this ^_^ A bit of a funny story behind this. So when I first carved it, like a silly I forgot that it reverses the image when it's actually used, so I had to carve the opposite side to get it to wax seal correctly lol. At least it shows it 'front-ways' on the top now. Approx. 2016 |

And then, an update to the stamps came up. As mentioned in that Metroid stamp at the top, the eventual plan was to replace that geocaching stamp with a K.T. signature. That eventual has become now, and I cut the bottom centimeter with the Metroid off that wooden figure (it's a kinda people-looking shape, see the new geocaching bag for a side pic of it), which would be a good shape to continue being a geocaching stamp, and carved a .T.Ʞ onto it, and then tested it with an ink pad. Perfect! And don't worry, we saved the Metroid, which will be here once it gets a new handle. June 20, 2026 |
