Nice punches, what steel did you use? Any heat treatment?

Randy Richard sent me S-7 tool steel to make the punches from. I liked the material so much that I bought 6' of 1/2" s-7 tool steel from Amazon just to have around.

They will be heat treated and ground (if needed) by Brian Block, who also made the center punches. He has a video of making his punches, and will probably make a video of the heat treatment. His YouTube channel is bcblock02

Randy Richard made the roll pun punches. And has two videos of thier build on his YouTube page. Which is Randy Richard in the shop.

I took video of my machining as well since it is for the giveway and hope to post it in a couple days. I started going through the video I shot last night and realized that I need to make one more punch just to get some footage that I need.
I was hustling to get these done and the videoing was not my propriety.
