    Tool steel is cheaper than buying them. A stamp will cost $1.50 and a pritchel about $8.00. A mustad creaser is good value, takes some abuse and cheap Mustad tongs 1/4 and 3/8. Hollow bit tongs for forgeing tools.
    this place is good.

    Ray the cross pain hammers on this site are reel good and cheap for clipping.
