C Craft Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Welcome! Now with a picture of all those chisels, there should be a few pictures of some of your work to go along with them. C Craft Customs ~~~ With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! ~~~ C Craft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Sexstone Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Charles, the last photo with the heart and dimple.... is it a die for punching out hearts? If so could you show us the punch that goes with it ? Yes thousands of words so neatly stuffed into a few pics... Thanks Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles wu Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 DICK, GOOD QUESTIONS. THE HEART IS DONE BY CUT CHISEL, THE DIMPLE IS PUNCHING BY PUNCH CHISEL, SEE THE PHOTOS FOR REFERENCE. CHISELS ARE MIAN DIVIDED TO TWO KINDS, ONE IS A CHISEL CUTS THE METAL AWAY AND, THE OTHER ONE IS THE PUNCH, JUST PUSHES THE METAL OUT OF THE WAY, BUT DOES NOT REMOVE IT. THANKS FORD FOR THE HELP ON DESCRIPTION BY ENGLISH. WELCOME OTHER QUESTIONS. Charles, the last photo with the heart and dimple.... is it a die for punching out hearts? If so could you show us the punch that goes with it ? Yes thousands of words so neatly stuffed into a few pics...

Huw Schmitt Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I don't think that the word newbie should be in the title of this thread. If you're a noob than that means I have to live up to higher standards... Really, beautiful work. Are you self taught or do you have a mentor or teacher?
