fern01 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Does anyone know where to obtain soft metal tags about 2-3" x 1/2" which can be nailed onto wood posts after being written on with a set of letter / number punches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeadWasp Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 copper tags used to be popular with gardeners, often used in orchards to identify the tree. I guess modern chi chi gardening will mean these cost a bomb now. I would get some brass strip, a pair of metal shears and some punches if you have lots to make. http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=strip&PN=Albion%2dAlloys%2dBrass%2dStrip%2ehtml#aBS9M for the brass and perhaps machine mart for the punches and shears.
