In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates the techniques and tools used to successfully drill holes in metal jewelry items. This step-by-step video provides you with the information you need to work safely and produce successful results.
The basic information contained in this video can also be used to drill through a variety of other materials such as acrylics and organic matter. Before you begin working, make sure that you have the proper drill bits for the material you intend to drill. Also, be sure to test your skills and equipment before attempting to drill through a project.
If you are a beginning jeweler viewing this video in order to learn how to make holes for linkages, I would encourage you to expand your research by viewing other videos in the OJA playlist. As I always say, I can tell the work of a beginning jeweler based on two things. Beginners tend to work flat and only use holes to create linkages between parts.
