Members DV8DUG Posted January 14, 2020 Members Report Posted January 14, 2020 1/3rd of the gravestone I use for a granite tooling slab is covered with a thick piece of scrap veg-tan 12-14 oz.

AND they are cheap. They will get marked up a bit after several month's use . . . simply flip em over and use the other side. They're also cheap to replace. Lay it on a piece of marble or granite . . . and whack away. May God bless, Dwight Edited May 15, 2021 by Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members McCarthy Posted May 15, 2021 Members Report Posted May 15, 2021 I have a nice big crystal cutting mat that I use for most things but for punching holes (or anything that would wear out the mat) I use a block of lead. If I didn't have the lead, I would take four short lengths of 4x4 and screw them together into a nice solid cube and use that. Quote

Members Rahere Posted May 15, 2021 Members Report Posted May 15, 2021 One consequence of the theft of roofing lead has been the development on non-toxic self-healing alternatives, which aren't as heavy, which might not be a good thing. It's the selfhealing aspect which intrigues me: has anyone tried any of those? Quote
