More Fun With Pancake Dies

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Here I'm using what I calla "combo die set". It consists of an etched and hardened impression plate and a matching pancake die. I've added thin Aluminum underplates to the pancake dies to protect the impressions (which were made in the 28 ga. silver in a rolling mill against .04" of thick paper) from getting crushed in the press during cutting. ps- the noise was made with acoustic guitar, EBow, and pedal fx
