    The thing that differentiates the Swanstrom set from all my previous cutters is that instead of the milled edge being perpendicular to the punch (and thus flat), it's got a slight bevel, so it shears rather than relying purely on force to cut the disc.

    I'm cutting up to 0.8mm sheet with a rawhide mallet (first thing that came to hand) and only resorting to a brass mallet for 1mm.

    I think if I'd had access to a press, I'd have been perfectly happy with my old set, but this one is so pretty too

    The toggles are amazing George!

    I am promising myself one of those punch sets if I ever get myself organised enough to start making the lockets I have designed. And big beads!!
