Metal Forming tools

[CJ57]

If you just want to make some outsized domes Caroline, I think something like this woukld do: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Pc-Extr...AAAOSwo4pYW7si

My walking sticks were a one off craze, so i could never justify anything dearer. Dennis.

That's great Dennis and a much better price, thank you.
I'm still trying to find something to put my prize money to before the deadline but not having much luck. Think I could do with a press rather than just using a hammer and block to flatten but again they only have a very expensive Durston.
Ooh I see Proops has one of those at half the price!
I have always loved your walking stick

James, I am wondering where you got the knife edge punch from? I have been looking at different repousse tools traders and none seem to have that specific tool. Unless you made it yourself? There's been a lot of information on the forum of how to make your own punches, but that means investing in more tools to create them - something I want to avoid for now

Yes I made that knife edge punch by grinding an old chisel to shape.

Check out these cold chisels on Amazon, the 40mm. one is similar to the one I altered; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chisel-Shan...de+cold+chisel

Items such as these https://www.ebay.com.au/p/10pcs-Mang...705&opts=opick can be a good starting point if you don't have a lot fo metal working gear as a lot of the work id already done and you can reshape them if you are careful and patient with your pendent motor or Dremel if that is what you have
