Paipo, Thats what I Thought the eye was but it was so tight it looked like a marker but I thought Naw, he Wouldn't DO That!? Thanks for backing up my faith in your integrity! Beautiful job and that eye really gives it life and grabs the attention.

So you think YOU are enjoying your freedom in the shed? Not NEARLY as much as WE are. The fruits of your rampant freedom really show and have really turned up the drool(Gmans) Factor.

On the holes, I thought I had invented that hole system when I started doing the pendants back in '04 but I understand the Chinese or someone over somewhere else predated me by a few thousand years,humbling! You are right as there are many different tools needed for each different hole and somehow they all turn out to be different depending on thickness of available meat, type of media and size of the hole. There is no set pattern for those buggers, just drill a curved hole and hope it doesn't come through the other side. I find a "curled" piece of monofilament line is what works most times for me.
Now, just turn up the heat, ignore this chatter and get BACK to the SHED!
