Welcome to the porch topside Ralph,
(out from underneath it lol)

  The answer is, of course, you can't get by with one stamp.
You can barely get by with a host of stamps.
  I got my last one for $125, but I was looking for a very small one.
They charge by the square mm I think. ;)

  So you make some. Get an old dremel and a bit. It doesn't take so long.
You connive your friends into making you some, heh heh

  One thing that is nearly free, is to find your initials from a letter 
marking set? Then stamp them overlapping or arranged somehow to be 
personal..............

and you order some from old school stampmakers, as the occasion appears.

rubber stamps are really fun too but not completely permanent, except on 
raw soft wood in a protected spot maybe.
