An "Old Timer" gave me a hint on letter stamping. Place a piece
of masking tape where you want the base of your letters to go,
and butt the bottom edge of the stamp to it before you strike
it with a hammer. This eliminates the up and down location
problems with stamping, and allows you to concentrate on
locating them horizontally!

I also use the masking tape to align the bottom edge.
Another hint I got from an "Old Timer" is to stamp
the word in reverse order--from right to left, and
that seems to work for me. 

Maybe because you are not "spelling ahead" in your mind,
and concentrate harder on each letter, one at a time.
(Better have the word written out on a scrap of paper to
look at, though...)
