I've used jump rings (soldered to the base) and also bits of copper sheet as fillers. Both seemed to work fine, but I've no idea if there's a better way.

Hi - I've just received an email with the subject line 'Hand Tool Heaven up to 50% off'. But none of the links take me to any hand tools with 50% off (or anywhere close to 50%). Can tell me which...
Oh I'm so desperate to wade in, but....must.....resist.....
ok - sold!
Hi Andrew - you (inadvertently) taught me to solder too!
I've been having a look round AtTheBench as a freeview member (looks great - need to learn lampworking now!), and I was wondering how often...
Hi Peter - I'd be interested in buying one too. after you posted details of your last batch I bought myself a piece of delrin, plus the book with the pattern, but..... life's too short and delrin's...
Would you be able to clarify here too?

Oh I love the tree! That's a brilliant idea.
Thanks for all the lovely comments. I'm wearing it at work today strung on a pierce of pink leather thong, but I'll need to come up with a permanent solution.
It did take ages, probably about 2...
Bridget - I think it was 0.8mm.
I went with the G11 in the end because of the bigger sensor, and I'm just mesmerised by the difference between it and my old (very compact) compact. I'm slowly experimenting with all of the things I...
Thank you. I enjoyed making it, but it took ages! I think I'd like to do a bracelet next, alternating pierced and solid lentil beads, but am slightly worried I'd lose enthusiasm for it before I...
Hi all
I've just finished something and thought I'd show it off. I say 'finished', but I actually have a fair amount of filing to do on the cut edges. Oh, and I need some means of hanging it...
I'd be interested in flower shapes of different sizes & number of petals, and different sizes of ovals/elipses too. Also big circles - 20mm up to, say, 40mm.
I've just bought a lovely stone. It's like an aerial photo of a tropical island:

Hi Nic
I've been considering buying a new camera, partly for photographing my jewellery, but also for making stop motion animations with plasticine models (a slightly geeky hobby I share with my...
Yep, I'll be voting on Thursday, though haven't quite decided who I'm voting for. I'm in a very marginal seat, and may decide to vote tactically this time. But I don't want to have to.
I love...
ooh, thanks George!
Hi - I am trying to find something on the cooksons website, and I am struggling because I don't know what to search for.
It's a handle for using with a stone setting burr. The one I'm thinking of...
Not obvious to me! Thanks. Will give that a go.
I have the aldi digital calipers, and have found them to be reasonably accurate, but not always perfectly consistent. They're good enough for the kind of things I'm making, but for very precise work...
well.... if we can include wish list items in this thread, then here's mine. I want it but it's sold.. to some other lucky person.
...
oh that's very cheeky indeed. Even after all my research I totally didn't notice that last disclaimer.
In the end I bought a fairly cheap (ish) ebay set of 24 doming punches (2mm - 24mm ish?) plus...
Nic - apologies for demanding your life story and then essentially abandoning this thread - I've been unable to access the website from work...grr....
Anyway, thank you very much for your reply. ...
