bksboiler

Bruce-- I was there just a few years after you. From 94-98 I studied agronomy. When i was there we called the marble in the lobby the "slab". I wasted my fair share of time down there too.

Bruce Thanks for the clarification. Your right on with the "boiler" I studied Ag at Purdue. Glad to hear from another boilermaker. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. Some of your other posts have been very helpful to me as I'm getting started. Thanks Brian

First let me thank everyone for all the great information. I'm just starting and the forum has been very helpful. I've been looking at many of the stamping tools that many of you have recommended as upgrades from the Tandy kit tools. My question is on tool sizes. Most tools have a size assigned but no physical dimension. First is the size corresponded to a specific physical size. For example does a size 6 basket stamp have a specific width and length? If so is this standard across all makers? I hope it's question isn't too basic and I didn't miss it in my searches. Thanks for the help.
