    I don't know where the notion of making dapping punches comes from,
    and any of the ways I could think of to do it would all cost more and
    be inferior - key stock to begin with is essentially putty - junk
    steel. Well, not junk, but the key is designed to break before the
    part, let's put it that way. And there's a reason the commercial ones
    are made in one piece. But if you want to.......... But as for the
    charcoal block part, Otto Frei and I'm sure others have a compressed
    charcoal block they call "European" that costs more, but I've used
    mine for at least 1 1/2 years now, daily, and it is fried on top but
    it's whole, solid and one piece, and the same size and height. Very
    nice thing.......
