Stamp carving travel kit

Sometimes I can't believe how much stamp carving tools, materials, etc. I've collected over the years.  It seriously fills like half a room in my little home.  I get judgemental looks from my cat every time I bring something new home (seriously).

But because I find carving soothing and therefore like to do it when on vacation, I have to be quite particular in what things I take with me when I travel (not to mention possible airport security issues, which is a whole other matter).

I created a quick video recently about the kit of supplies I do take with me at the bottom of this post.  The important thing is that when I travel south, there's usually going to be a whole lot more light (hello sun!) than when I'm home (yikes winter!) so my massive magnifier (like this one) can stay home. Anything else though is pretty much fair game, but I like to travel light so I try to keep it pared down in any event.

You can check out the video here:


Have you ever carved while traveling?  I'd love to hear about it!
