Elton Joorisity Report post Posted December 18, 2008 Just finished these up a couple days ago. This is the first time that I have ever built a set for the customer to give as a gift...I just hope that he likes the colors that his girlfriend picked!!

bruce johnson Report post Posted December 18, 2008 Elton, If he doesn't like the colors, she just needs to find another boyfriend who does. They are looking good from here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elton Joorisity Report post Posted December 19, 2008 Steve, I do most of my filigree with a few old craft tool veiners that I have sharpened up. The rest of the areas I do with a hobby knife and round drive punches. Thanks to everyone for the comments. I like the colors too. They are something original at least.

gtwister09 Report post Posted December 19, 2008 Elton, Bruce and Kate both hit the nail on the head! Did you ever look at the filigree punches that Hidecrafters carried at one time? They had a TON of different sizes and shapes. Of course it looks like you are doing well without them. Regards, Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
