HWooldridge Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Francis Whitaker's book, The Blacksmith's Cookbook, has plans for a shop-built shear that could be modified as a punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBlacksmith Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 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.
