Single dapping punches

[Lakelady]

Hello, 

I have bought a set of dapping punches, which are great but I need one or two larger ones - does anyone know if these can be bought separately (have seen them on Ebay from the US but postage is prohibitive!), as I don't really need another whole set and probably won't use a few of the ones I already have either!
Thanks

I used to have a set of 3 large ones which I am sure I got from Cookson Gold.  They were much larger than the normal sets, but granted not cheap

Thanks Sue.  Just had a look....mmm, very expensive!  Would most likely only need the smallest one.  Might have to look for second hand!

What size do you need?

Around 2cms I guess, maybe a few mm more but not much.  The biggest I have is about 1cm.

For odd sizes, a wooden set's always a good bet. Palmers have a nice set of five (going up to really quite big) and they also have a set of two with a wooden doming block (these sets can also be found on ebay). These are very good value, and you're far less likely to damage metal with them.

Thanks!  I looked at those but wasn't sure if wood would be ok.  May be affordable after all!

Hmmm, I don't quite have anything that size, but I might have something that would work for you.

I'll see if I can get a photograph to you, if you like?

I forgot about my wooden set - do you know any friendly wood turners?
