Top pens mark as usual.

Like the square ends rather than the rounded closed end pen.

Hi Mark,

I made one myself many moons ago but it failed miserably. I think it was because I used Aluminium which is a bit soft.
I was just wondering if you had found a good quality one on the net.
I think I will get the Cowells out and get some hard bar.:thumbs:

Why don't you use the transfer punches? They are ready made and various sizes available..

I have a complete set of mine that have flat ends filed on them, I use 2 or 3mm brass rod for the pun. Depending on what size chick I am making.
