Here is a tool for making holes without drilling from
@cynthiaoutwestsilversmith - “Here is a little video using the metal hole punch as you would a drill. This saves so much time and space....There’s no cleanup involved and the best part is that the little holes that get punched out become usable as elements in other projects for example the rainbow trout earrings and necklaces I make. These work perfectly as the little dots on their side. I typically don’t punch out anything thicker than 18 gauge but I have used them to punch holes in pennies and quarters....” You can find these pliers pretty much everywhere! Rio Grande, Otto Frei and Amazon! They also make ones with smaller and larger holes. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, this could be a good method for melting consistent sized balls too 🤔🙌
