so I’m working on a mini project and I need to emboss some text into copper sheets, I bought this set from harborfreight

[http://www.harborfreight.com/40-piece-1-8-eighth-inch-letter-number-stamping-set-90124.html](http://www.harborfreight.com/40-piece-1-8-eighth-inch-letter-number-stamping-set-90124.html)

but the problem is this is recessed letters and I need raised letters (meaning punch from the back) I have scoured the internet tirelessly and I can only find recessed punches.

Anyone know of a source for punch-from-the-back sets for embossing???

holy christ, if I purchased only the letters I would need to use it would be $38. at least I know what the technical term is for the stamps to search elseware for cheap chinese versions hahaha…
