Here is a technique for safely drilling multiple items from @mothersonthemountainjewelry - “When I have a lot of pieces to drill holes in and don’t want to take all day-I use a square of scrap wood and tape them down to drill them one after another without having to settings up for each one. Just remember to use Bur Life on your drill bit!
I use the painters tape because it doesn’t leave behind any residue. “ Love this so much! Thank you for letting me share!!! 💕 As always, please where safety goggles whenever you are drilling - safety 1st! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrymaking #jewelrymakingtips
