The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I had to do 147 on each cabinet. You do the math. It is very simple. I just took a door knob bit, put it in the drill press, set the press to the correct depth. Set the shelve on the table, and boom. Little 1/8th deep circle impressions. Then use Elmers to glue them in. Took about 2 minutes to figure that one out.

Bob,

You are in luck! I found the box and I had the order invoice for the stamps.

The font is Times and I purchased from "The Stampin Place"

Product code is 902503 Times numbers.

They come in a sheet that you will have to cut apart with scissors and glue the individual stamps to a piece of wood. I would suggest a dowel. I cut short lengths of ¾" square wood and after a while the sharp edges of the wood really took it's toll on my hands. If I were to do it over, I would us ¾" dowel.

Good luck and post pictures!

Brad, That's great. Thanks for the info. I just ordered them.

I haven't got time to read all the responses so, if this has been said already, forgive me.

- The hole saw is the way to go.
- You don't need to, and shouldn't, use it in a drill press. Do it by hand. With the drill press, too much happens too fast and wham, you've got junk.
- The crumby condition of the pockets, in the area inside the circles, makes no difference as it will be covered by the peg.
- Really good hole saws, i.e. not the adjustable ones, have a removable drill bit. The really good ones won't be at Lowes or the like.

I made one shelve and drilled all the way through it for a template. Then set my drill press to the proper depth just to score the shelve I was making.
