10: WORK INSIDE OUT Firstly, pierce the inside for better control of the piece


and then work from the inside out.


8: DRILL THE SHEET Run the drill slowly and do not push too hard.


Remember to lubricate the drill bit with the beeswax to avoid friction heat.


HEALTH AND SAFETY Always use the safety goggles when drilling metal.

11: FILE Use the needle files, half round, round, threesquare


and square to remove burrs from the edges. The teeth on the all files point away from the handle and therefore cut on the push stroke. Lift the file or apply pressure on the return stroke. Press down on the top of the file with your index finger while filing and hold the piece stable.

9: CHECK YOUR BLADE Double check the tension of the saw blade, pinch it


with your thumb like a violin chord. The piece being sawn needs to be secure and the teeth of the blade must point toward the saw frame’s handle.
