I’d like to cut and raise the dots on a border like this. How is the metal prepared to use the dot punch. This dot border is very clean and uniform and I would like to use it on a English flintlock rifle I’m building.
Thank you,Richard
Yes, it does take quite a bit of concentration at the present time. If I lapse the really goes bad. What do they say, it takes about10,000 hours to master a skill.
Cheers and thanks Richard
