<html><body> <DIV>Hi David,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hmm, I just did a search on the internet for the steel number punches.  Do you use the punches that are numbered separately, or the punch that sort of looks like an ink punch, but isn't.  If you're using the separate punches, what size?  I'm not at home right now and I'd hate to ask the house-sitter to try to measure numbers on keys (if he could even find them....that is, keys or the numbers....).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Barbara Richmond, RPT</DIV> <DIV>not so near Peoria, IL at the moment</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <P>-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>snip</P> <P> Lately, for the ones that matter, I've been using steel number punches and then going over them with a fine-tip ink marker.  It takes some time and care, but I prefer the look to printed numbers.<BR><BR>David Skolnik<BR>Hastings on Hudson, NY<BR><BR><BR><BR></P></BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
