Please bear in mind that I only do small pressings and shapings, I cut my own leaf work dies in brass blocks and then press soft golds into the dies with the No 0 Arbor press, I also make shapes using brass rod, turned on my lathe such as shaping punches for making egg pendant halves, I press these into a wooden or a lead block, I have also made a straight line angle folder that fits in the press, this is used for adding central veins to leaves as well as folding corners on square frames and bezels.
Below are some of my leaf pressings from my home made dies, pressed with the small Arbor press.
