    Default Lower case letter punches???

    Hello All,
    Does anybody know where I can find lower case letter punches?
    I've been searching the internet for hours with no luck other than US sites and they're so expensive.
    I'm making a bracelet for a friends birthday with her childrens names and really wanted the lower case letters x

    Really? Agh thats annoying
    Something else I'm really going to have to save for!
    Somebody needs to get making them over here, there's obviously call for them.

    It's for silver though so may have to have a re-think x

    you could etch the letters with a bottle of... oh damn what is it... ferric nitrate silver etchant from here Mega-UK - PCB Chemicals

    write on for raised lettering, mask off everything but the writing for sunken lettering. i've used ferric chloride on copper and brass and it's not that hard and not really that dangerous unless you're prone to entering a fugue state where you drink literally anything lying around, but not tried the silver stuff yet, can't imagine it'll be much different

    Just use the big ones - yes the small lower case ones are lovely
    but once it's made she'll love it and wont care what lettering it's in
    I have both and still use the capitals all the time

    I'm awaiting a cookies delivery with my letter punches in so I think I'll just give it a go and add the lowercase ones to my veryyyy long list of "when I can afford them list"
    Thanks for your advice guys x

    Beaducation do lower case as well as sellers on Etsy but I've always had to pay £24 custom fees.

    Hi,
    Palmer Metals do them now. Mine arrived yesterday, I haven't used them yet. They are Lucida font.
