    Does anyone have suggestions about a process which I can use to make
    some badges for a client? I would like to stamp them in thin metal
    (any metal which can be gold plated would do.) I have access to a
    hydraulic press, although I don't own it. I need to make only 10 or
    12 of the badges. 

    Is there some easy, INEXPENSIVE way to make the molds (nylon, jet
    set, shellac, etc.) that would last through that many impressions? I
    have never done this kind of job, and would appreciate any and all
    ideas. 

    The price of the job does not warrant cutting steel dies. 

Thanks,
