bebeaux Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I was asked for a fundraising donation, so in the spirit of St Patrick's Day, I made a shamrock tool for these key fobs. I learned a lot, more what not to do, but it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Nice job Bebeaux. Mind sharing a picture of the stamp/ punch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebeaux Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 The only suitable material I had on hand was 1.5" 4140 round bar. I turned the shank to fit my press, and laid out the design with a prick punch. An assortment of files and some work on the belt grinder finished it up. My blanks were around 3/16" thick and they cooled too quickly to obtain a good impression from the punch, so I set up my torch right next to the press and squished them as quickly as I could. 12 tons is barely adequate for this shape and material.
