Fellow Galoots
I decided that I wanted some way to sign my work
 since some of it really isn't bad now.
What I want to do is make something which will allow 
me to cast a small disk of silver or pewter say about 
the size of a dime and either leave an impression in it 
as part of the casting process or leave it smooth and 
then i'd stamp it with a stamp that I also don't have. 
I would then drill a shallow hole and inlay this disk into 
my work. Now I know there is at least one professional 
jeweller on the list not to mention people who just 
know stuff so I was hoping for a feasibility study here...

So 1) how easy is it to make a mould that would allow 
me to pour a disk of silver or pewter and could be 
used multiple times? What would I make it from? 
I assume i'd start with some wax and carve it in to that 
first... any help with the process would be much 
appreciated.

or 2) How do I go about making a name/logo stamp? 
What material to use? Heat treatment? How to form? 
etc... Would it be OK for stamping wood and brass as 
well as softer metals?

Thanks

John in very sunny NH but we still have a very small 
pile of snow in the woods on our property... may be 
gone by tomorrow!
