Re: Lindsay or Grs system
James,
THe nickel I recently posted in the gallery forum was mostly chased with punches and palm control rather than carved with chisels. I have also been using chasing to sculpt some scroll work and I am happy with the results so far.
I am using the palmcontrol with a tungsten piston with the stroke length wide open. I have the air pressure at about 50lbs. I am making my punches out of used burs and broken beading punches.
If the metal is malleable you can manipulate it quite well this way.
