The anvil, rubber plate & Ring
The anvil
Also called a bench block, it is a plate of stainless steel which prevents your stamping blank from warping and ensures that you get nice deep impressions when you punch in the letters.
The rubber plate:
Below the anvil is a rubber plate, to prevent damage to the surface below.
Ring
Keeps the stamping blank and the punch stamp holder in place.
Stamping blank
The stamping blank is where the backup (seed phrase) is punched in.
Punch stamp holder
This unique piece ensures that you can punch in the letters effortlessly and at the right distance. Your letter punches are nice and straight on the stamping blank, which means it's also nearly impossible to hit your fingers.

Part 1:
The punch stamp holder
Part 2:
The anvil, the ring and the rubber plate. This has been pre-assembled by us.
Write down the letters on the blank with a non-permanent fine liner and double check them before and after punching!
Place the stamping blank in part 2 on the anvil. Pay attention to the orientation of the numbers. (Do you want to punch in 1 through 12 or 13 through 24?)
Place the punch stamp holder on the stamping blank.
Now you can start punching in your Seed phrase!
Remember to keep the letter punch straight and to make a good deep impression.
Punch 3 times for a nice deep impression.
The quickest way is to punch in letter by letter instead of word by word. (See tips)
Punch a serial number on the back of both plates (see tips)
Connect the plates with the codes facing each other, using the enclosed stainless steel assembly material
Tips & Tricks
Punch in a serial number
Number your set on the back of the stamping blank. You can create, for example, 1A and 2A. This set together forms your 24 words. This makes it easy to see which two stamping blanks belong to each other. This is especially useful when you have multiple Seed phrases.
Use a good quality hammer
Take a ENGINEERS HAMMER
It is best to use a hammer between 0.35 kg/12 oz and 0.80 kg/28 0z this will make a good deep impression.
Store the Seed phrase parts in different places.
Store a part of your Seed phrase at home and another part, or everything, somewhere else. This increases the safety in the event of a break-in.
Ensure that you place it on a solid foundation
Ensure that the mould is placed in a solid position on the table. For example, directly above one of the table's legs. This is where the table is the least prone to movement, meaning the most force is transferred to the stamping blank.
Letter by letter
You don't have to work word by word, it's faster if you punch in the Seed phrase letter by letter. So, punch in the first letter of the first word on all places that need to contain that letter, then do the same for the second letter et cetera.
Store (part of) the Seed phrase in a bank safe.
The safe in a bank is well protected. And you're also insured for a certain amount.
