New Toys!!!

Sorry, just had to show off, I am so pleased with my new toys. :-)

Here are my dapping punches, complete with a little wooden block for them to live in. :-) Lots of different sizes.

These are the little letter punches. Each letter is only about 2.5 - 3mm, so quite teeny, but the work perfectly.

All you need is one of those, and a hammer...



To make one of those:

Had to try everything out of course! :-)

Great fun.
