I can't say that I would recommend that you do that.  Especially if
you wish to use for checks, legal things, etc.  After all if you
lost your stamp, and had to get a new one, and your friend was not
around, this would make you have another signature.  Also if
sometimes, the other party would not want to accept your stamp, and
want to have you sign with a pen, this could cause you a problem.
This does happen on occassions.  If you want it to just sign for
packages and the like, that are not that important, then that would
be ok.

As far as your hand writing not being so good, neither is mine, and
most doctors.  So, you are in good company.

As far as getting your signature for the stamp, just get someone to
help you, and practice till you can gett it as small as possible,
and if it is not small enough, get them to reduce it in size.  They
have ways of doing this if necessary.

Btw, if you are having a problem of getting it small enough, just
use your two initials and your last name.  That is what I did.  I
finally had to have one made with my first name and middle initial,
and last name.  Because people keep wanting to send me checks with
my full name on them.

As far as where to purchase them, I am sure if you look around
town, you could find a place to get a stamp from.  Check for office
supply places, or local stencil works places.  I personally would
rather get something like that locally.
