| | Texturing punches I'm looking for a good set of texturing punches in varying head shapes. Round is pretty easy to find, but square, triangle, teardrop, etc. are tougher. Anyone got a source?
Thanks,

| | Re: Texturing punches I make mine. File/grind a piece of metal; old bolt, nail, whatever to shape then file the pattern I want onto it. Fast, easy, cheap and you can have any shape you want. |

| | Re: Texturing punches You could also check out the Lee Valley catalogue, they have a set of four texturing stamps for about 28 bucks. |
