Punch, brothers! Punch with care!



Here's a small project from the shop before it went into hibernation. It's pretty self-explanatory, so I'll let the pictures do the talking...









Complete, and...



...oiled - it will darken in time and match better.


For me, there is something very satisfying in making old tools happy.

    Thanks for sharing and the pictures were enough to show how much detail and care were put into this piece. Shaking hands are definitely a “No No” on this project, isn’t it?

    Awesome work but yet so simple. Good to see you are still in Action Dan. Been a little while since I been here.

    Always enjoy your post with hand tools.

      Hey Handi! Good to hear from you! Thanks - I am hoping to start posting more again, but life is full just now and my home shop is in mothballs until I get the new shop building done...sigh.

    Good post and thanks for capturing photos every step of the way. I find it hard to capture photos and work - I seem to lose focus in between!

      Thanks Dan! All is well and life is full. Moved into a fixer-upper, worked like crazy, not the right house in the end, moved again and love the new home. The old shop is out of storage unit, the new shop is close to finished and blog will revive as soon as I get a chance to sit down...
      It's nice to be missed -thanks. Hope all is well at your end too.
