I’ve been deep down the rabbit hole on seed phrase storage and kept running into the same problem: most metal backup options are either overpriced, overcomplicated, or use proprietary parts.
What made the most sense to me was the old-school steel washer method. It’s simple, durable, easy to verify by sight, and you can even split the washers into different locations if you want extra security.
So I ended up putting together my own kit built around that idea. It includes a 36pc stamp set, 52 washers, 2 bolts, 2 nuts, and I’ve even been including a free washer stamp jig to make the stamping process easier.
Main reason I like this method is it keeps things simple:
offline
no electronics
no dependence on one company
durable compared to paper
can be split up into different storage locations
I just got my first sale, which was pretty cool, and I’m trying to get this in front of more people who actually care about self-custody and long-term backup options. Would genuinely love feedback from people here on the concept, the method, or the listing itself.

Good way to get the addresses of bitcoiners with significant enough holdings they want to put them in cold storage.
This is not allowed here. I suggest you remove this before it is removed for you. Basically breaking rule 7
