    Francis Whitaker's book, The Blacksmith's Cookbook, has plans for a shop-built shear that could be modified as a punch.

    i plan to make both a shear and punch. the punch doesn't have to do anything large. i just want it for punching smaller square holes in thin stock that wouldnt be efficient to do on the forge.
