OldTom Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Hi Giles, Is there any chance I could buy a 4mm cobble/sett embossing tool from you? They look great! If so how can I contact you and pay you? Cheers Tom Shenton Edited November 26, 2021 by OldTom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 I do have four 4mm tools available if you still want - pm me. Best Giles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fodenway Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 A similar tool can easily be made from sections of one of those cellular plastic "For Sale" signs used by estate agents or similar. Effective, and usually free. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Interesting thought regarding the sign, I use thin slices of those type of signs to make ladders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fodenway Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 They can also be sliced thinly and used as window frames....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverSR Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Sorry to resurrect an old thread but after discovering the YouTube video I was brought here. Are you still producing these tools as if so I’d be interested in a 7mm one.(PM Sent) OliverSR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverSR Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 That’s true, but sometimes if someone else has put time and effort into perfecting a technique I don’t mind paying for the time saving for me(I don’t have the patience to build everything from scratch😅). As it turns out there is no 7mm tools left so I will be experimenting with corrugated plastic board profile or I may be able to 3D Print a tool to suit my needs.
