Just wondering if anyone you shed some light.
I'm coring some beads and making grommets (like these):
http://www.palmermetals.co.uk/shop/sterling-silver-findings/sterling-silver-bead-grommets-1/sterling-silver-bead-grommet-5-0mm-with-925.html
George has already been very kind with advice and I have now got the hand of cutting my piece of tube and flaring it with my doming punches.
My only issue is that I'm not getting that nice "rounded" look that these grommets have. Mine look a bit unfinished.
Has anyone got any hints or tips? Thanks. x
