Default Re: 3 PalmControls and more...

They look neat and most importantly are comfy and hold the gravers perfectly and the weight is nice...
I am planning to re-invent my setting tools so i just use the templates from now on ..
Standard universal point - for engraving
Phils bulino point - no idea how to do bulino as yet but can use for other things!
Flat/knife combo - planning two flats of different widths and a knife to take place of my onglette...

Rounds or more like half rounds i started making from old bead grainers ( they work great for cutting or bead raising and are dead easy to make up) and i have a heap of old good for nothing grain tools.
I`ll keep my quick change handles for them as they fit better being metric sized. I have stained and polished the handles to match though
M42 blanks are great once the initial shaping is done.
