FabienC. Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hello Guys ! There was an hammer-in last week-end in France, on a dealer table I could see this set of stamps ..... I know is for marking metal with hammer or power-hammer, but I have no idea of a finish object made with this tool, have you any examples???? thanks......

Mike Turner Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 it appears to be some kind of a punch set, the tongs are the tool holders. Just my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmercier Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Looks like a chasing and repouse set to me, unless those are much bigger than the picture lends me to believe, in which case what Mike said is likely correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I agree a repouse set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcraigl Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Those look a lot like some of the tools Hofi showed us one time, for use under the power hammer. I guess it is all about scale, but it looks to me like several fuller chisels, several round punches, and several round fullers. I really like the self locking tongs, and have been thinking of trying to make some. I scored a small pile of 4ish inch long 4340 in 5/8" round stock so a little too short to make a regular hand tool out of, but I could make a nice set of tongs to engage a set shoulder similar to what you're showing us and it'd probably work great. Fabien, give us an idea about the size of those pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
