Chisels and punches

The type of decorative carving and inlay I would like to do requires different tools to normal goldsmithing. The most comprehensive information I have found about these is on the forum called following the iron brush, a forum mostly on Japanese style carving, inlay and metalwork.

It stands to reason that these chisels and punches can be used to make not just Japanese style work but can be used to make western styled ornamentation as well.

This picture is a 'starter pack' of chisel and punch profiles. I will be making some or all of these from a truck suspension leaf spring.
