Here is a tip for filing tiny, sliver balls from @seaelements - “First I put the silver ball in an existing drilled holes and see if it fits. If it doesn't I'll go with a round needle file and widen the hole a bit until the ball is almost flush. Then I'll just go a couple of times over with a file in ONE direction( so it doesn't pop out) till it's flat, then use the needle file to get it out or any sharp point, and sweat solder it on whatever I'm working on. I hope this helps if it annoys anyone to hold tiny balls with pliers and file, I always end up dropping and losing them!” This is fantastic Sara, thank you so much for taking the time to shoot this video and share your technique with us, we appreciate it! #filingmetal #jewelryfabrication #benchpin #benchtip
