Justino Caballo · April 03, 2009, 11:38:52 AM

Well Guys I just phoned in my order for the Gomph-Hackbarth basic tool set. I am beside myself in anticipation!!!! can anyone prescribe a coping device or something to hold me over until they arrive?

Justino, I would say stick close to the forum but that usually makes me want to make something even worse. Best I can tell you is screw your hat down good, sink your hooks as deep as possible, and hang on tight. It's gonna be a ugly ride pard.

Oh, congrats on starting with some of the best tools out there.

He may want to rope himself to a post!

I hear Old Overholt can help in situations like this.

Oh thanks, Marshal. I knew I forgot something at the store!

Where would one find these tools that Justino just ordered?

Outrider, here you go:

Ellis Barnes
10754 N. Martineau Rd.
Elfrida, AZ 85601

520-642-3891

The set he got is the basic set of 15 stamps. I also picked up that set a while back. Great tools and well worth the price. I even bought some of his other stamps after that. He delivers in a reasonable amount of time, too.

Does Ellis Barnes have a web-site or a catalog?

Marshal Will Wingam · April 04, 2009, 07:23:26 PM

He has a brochure that shows most of the tools. It's a photo of the impressions with no numbers. The brochure doesn't have any numbers so the best thing to do is to circle the ones you want and send it back to him so he will know which one you really want. I don't think he has a website. Give him a call and ask for his brochure. Also ask him to send you a leather stamping of the basic 15 set. Every once in a while I get another piece of leather with other tools stamped on it that aren't in his brochure. Pricing varies depending on how much work goes into making them, too.
