Hi Framey!

Any chance of a picture, or sketch?  :scratch:

Framey, why hire a toolmaker when you can use the project as an excuse to buy a new tool?  Check out this punch.  It should run you less than £100, and you'll have it for the rest of your life.  Are you making tattoo machines?  Those springs look similar.
