kdobson Report post Posted February 24, 2010 Hello, I am a newbie and have made a couple pairs of chinks for family members and friends. I have a friend who found these chinks online and wants me to make her something similar, although I am not sure how to make the scalloping around the bottom edge of the yoke. I have seen this sort of detailing on a whole array of different chinks and have always wondered how they did that. My inkling that it is a small punch. Any info or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks - Katie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtclod Report post Posted February 24, 2010 Katie you can grind one side off of a round punch and use it to make the scallops. I'd use a cheap punch. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just didn't know if there was an inside business secret I didn't know of. Thanks John - I really appreciate it. I have a feeling punching those will test my patience a bit!!

dirtclod Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Katie you can buy a 1/2 in. half round punch and maybe one smaller than that. They would probley be the easiest to use unless you need a samller scallop. Either way i would pratice on some scrap before trying it on big piece. Folks on here are really help full. I know i have learned lots of different ways of doing things in the short time i have been a member. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks - Katie I was just at the show in Wickenburg and one of the vendors had some old Pinking tools that would do that as well. Also on this site there is someone showing this technique to cover the edges of a picture frame, can't remember where I saw it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have used a pinking blade in a rotary knife to get a similar effect. These can be gotten online or at a good fabric store. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
