My needle files are too big to fit in most of the pierced sections, but I shall look and see if I can get even finer ones. I will try the upside-down saw blade next, but I wont be touching the pieces until I get the finer blades first.
James - your pieces are beautiful! Would you mind if I asked a) typically, what size are the pieces that you pierce (they're do delicate!), and b) do you find the saw (concept saw?) is a good investment if piercing is going to be a big part of my work?
Thanks again everyone,
Nicky
