Here is a tip to hold down small parts from @foxtailjewelry - “This little hack I discovered is great for dapping and drilling multiple components at once without holding each one. It just requires a strip of duct tape! I place my pieces in the order that works best and then systematically punch and drill right down the line. It’s especially helpful for the little pieces that are otherwise hard to hold on to! It’s also helpful for hammering texture on one side of the metal! Just stick it down and hammer away ☺︎” Thank you so much for sharing this tip with us!
