A metallic stamp and die for the craft industry comprises a predetermined acid-etched design on a surface of a metallic plate. A first layer of a metallic paint is applied over the front and back surfaces of the metallic stamp and die. A second layer of a rubber paint is applied over the metallic paint. The metallic paint facilitates bonding of the rubber paint to the metallic plate and increases the life of the coating of the rubber paint. The rubber paint is configured to absorb and store an ink and facilitate transfer of the ink to one or more substrates, thus enabling stamping of the design on the substrate. The metallic die can be configured for a plurality of uses, such as embossing, cutting, heat-foiling, stamping, scoring, and inserting patterns or designs in a plurality of substrates.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for stamping concrete. In one aspect, a stamp includes a top surface having a three dimensional pattern similar to the three dimensional pattern on its bottom surface. When a portion of a first stamp overlaps a portion of a second stamp, at least a portion of the three dimensional pattern on the bottom surface of the first stamp engages with at least a portion of the three dimensional pattern on the top surface of the second. The engagement between the three dimensional designs or patterns locks or registers the first stamp to the second stamp. In some aspects, a handle of the first stamp engages with a slot in the second stamp. In some aspects, a magnet of the first stamp is attracted to a magnet of the second stamp.

A stamping kit is disclosed. The stamping kit includes a jig, a card, and a plurality of stamps. The jig includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a front surface, a rear surface, a card slot, and a stamping slot. The card slot extends between he front surface and the rear surface, and defines a width and a height. The stamping slot extends between the upper surface and the card slot, and defines a width and a length. The card defines a width and a thickness, and is configured to slide within the card slot of the jig. Each stamp of the plurality of stamps has a proximal end configured to be engaged by a hammer, and a distal end having a character thereon. A distal portion of each stamp is configured and dimensioned to enter the stamping slot of the jig.

A method for handling logs, wherein the method comprises the following steps:—retrieving or generating a unique code at a first moment;—establishing, by means of a position determining device, position information as to the geographical position of a portable, hand-held log marking tool (1) at said first moment;—applying the code as a corresponding code marking on a log by means of the log marking tool at a second moment and automatically establishing a time value representing the time elapsed between said first moment and said second moment;—comparing said time value with a predetermined time threshold value; and—storing the code as an authenticated code in a database associated to the position information when said time value is smaller than the time threshold value. The invention also relates to a log marking tool (1) for use in such a method.
