I'm just using a pair of offset red wiss snips .. Whenever I need a piece of sand paper for the lathe ,,instead of ripping off a chunk I cut it with these snips .. makes them sharp .. Then I grind out bumps on a white wheel ,in the bench grinder , doesn't get as hot .. I use a Roper Whitney Co . No.5 Jr hand punch ... Mac chased the oval punch down for this tool once but it was very expensive ,, want to say $175.00.. It was a tool place in Stoughton . special order .. I've been bending with hand seamer type vice grips .. Just got a fine wire wheel I put in my drill press .. nice ,, makes everything look Pichney ...

Hey NIB ... Tagger-Man is my ebay name .. are the eyes upon me ?
