making dog tags

Emmo · 2004-08-17T23:08:25+00:00

I am marking a bunch of trees with some aluminum "dog tags" with three orfour lines of words (all the same) and a unique number.I have been stamping these out, words and numbers with a Harbor Freight 1/4"stamp set and a ball pein hammer. Now the problem is how to mass produce200 of these blanks -- I can't do the verbiage all letter by letter,(although I will still be stamping in the unique number).How can I make a stamp with whole words or sentences? Can I use a 2-tonarbor press and some kind of dye? I would need a plate about the size of abusiness card, or maybe a little bigger. Where would I even go to findsomething like this? How are dog tags done?Can I etch or anodize the info onto surface of these tags instead ofstamping? Even engraving would be faster than the whack, whack, whack ofmy hammer...__"All it took was all I had..."
