All three of the above carry the blanks or stock metals in sheet or wire, as well as the tools (dapping blocks, stamps, etc.) needed and lots of findings.........

thank you ... i tried these links but just could not figure outbhow to use these supplies to make my own conchos

In order to learn how-to make conchos from scratch you'll need to learn some jewelry making skills - there are books out there on the subject but a class may be a better idea......

[TLP]

Get a copy of the book "INDIAN JEWELRY MAKING" by Oscar T. Branson, gives a lot of information on conchos, and stamping. does not get much into soldering or using the piercing saw, but other books cover that information

Good luck with your project

Michael's and Hobby Lobby both carry dapping tools. I saw a full kit on clearance at Michael's today.
