Punching Holes To Cut Out Spaces for Making Jewelry
I'm DJ Poye, professional jeweler and gemologist and I am here today on behalf of Expert Village. All right, the next stage will be punching and also drilling. As we know that these spaces in here have to be taken out to give the three dimensional look to it. So, we punch so we can have the drill start in a place instead of trying to drill with no focal point or no first point. What I try to do is I try to just; I'll just punch a small hole. You just hold it. You can hear it punching it right here. Then the next place, I'll just punch another place.
