Beginners would be eternally grateful. I bought a hobby drill from Cooksons which came with a multitude of attachments - none of which I have the slightest clue as to function !

Thanks for that. I'll have a go over the weekend.

Mia.
I have just purchased a disc cutter. I intend to practice with .5mm copper sheet. Do I need to anneal before cutting ?
Hi Wellhammered. Glad you enjoyed Ireland.
Thanks so much for that. It's a project I'd love to try.
