DoubleC Report post Posted May 31, 2012 You are the hardest man to pay I've ever seen. I saw the oblong punches on your site. I have contacted you 5 times about a 1 & 1/2 inch (OK one was an apology for calling so early, which is why I haven't called since, I'm way too embarrassed). I don't care who made it, or used it, I like vintage tools and I will leave it up to your expertise to pick one out for me, as long as it's 1 & 1/2 inch. If you would give me a price I'd be ever so happy to pay you tomorrow. Thanks Bruce. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted May 31, 2012 Cheryl, The last message I had from you was that you couldn't do anything until June 3rd and I don't have anything quite that wide right now. The largest slot I have right now is short of 1-1/2" in anything older. I bought a small set with some wider punches that may be at the post office today and could have one in there. One of the 1-1/2" for sure is a trace punch, but she described some that are regular slot but wasn't sure of the sizes . I'll know more tonight if they came today. I'll email tonight either way. I will also let you know exactly what the Dixons measure. One option for slots also is to use a shorter punch and overlap the previous punching to make up a longer length. Thanks, Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Bruce I'm sorry I did this in the forum Bruce, but I did want to catch you since I get my check tomorrow because the 3rd is on Sunday. I didn't realize that when I said the 3rd. I would NEVER have thought of overlapping. I've had people ask me why not use a hole punch on the ends then cut between them. Usually when they see my ability to cut that answers their question. So that will be fine Bruce. Would you suggest the Osborne 1 & 1/4th or even one of the smaller ones, maybe an inch? Or one of the Dixons? I don't care as long as it punches whose name is on it. You can just tell me tonight in the email, and price and shipping. Thanks Bruce. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
