Default Re: Lindsay or Grs system

Daniel,

Most of the stuff I have been playing with has been mild steel practice plates. I am wanting to try it on 416 stainless. If it works on the 416 stainless then I can use the technique on knives. I eventually want to try this technique on a gun.

The metal does not need to be thin like with repousse work. As long as it is malleable it can be pushed around with the punches.
