Chop its head off!

Thanks for the pics. As they say pic paints a thousand words. I'm liking the look of a punched stick. Just looks a lot neater. Less chance of messing it up.

If you want to give punching a go, PM me your address and i will send you one that i machined up on my lathe, it works but is not as aesthetic as a bought one.

Perhaps I should ask all the daft questions that are floating araound my head at the moment

... but does anyone chop that much off?

Yep! But only on Toscano's Alberto!

Well the punch arived on Sat whist I was out. So collected it today. Looks a nicely made bit of kit. Just have to try it out.

Many thanks

Just ordered a Cuban Crafters to replace my single blade plastic thingy - great value for money by the looks of it.

Where did you order it from? Curious for myself if you don't mind

That's a good deal, landed I think probably cheaper that retail in the UK.

Punch tools, no good for anything larger than a 43 ring gauge. Then just becomes a tar collector / bitter, ah!!! IMHO

Yeah I used to punch lots, but found the tar too much. Back to cutting.

Update; been using the Cuban Crafters cutter for a week now, top drawer and definitely a bargain!

Bought a Palio about a month ago, but mackemkeith put me onto this thread regarding the Cuban crafters and for that price, well I just couldn't let it pass...
