The punches I use most often are my half inch and 3/4 inch. The 3/4 inch allows me to turn shapes like hula pooppers and mice. I then just use the sanding drum from my dremel, mounted in my drill press, to sand a flat for hook clearance.
this is a link to the exact set you want. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2333129155&category=300 If you have a 1/2 inch chuck as I do in your drill press, ship the ones to me that do not fit into the chuck and I will turn down an arbor for you. Unless of course you know a machinist locally that can do it. john "Sofla Flyfisher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hey John, > >One more question: what sizes do you think are necessary?
