Most of the metal I use is silver and 1mm thick, but 10,260 holes......... presumably you drilled the holes first, but it must have been some undertaking to thread the saw blades into each hole to start with. Patience isnt something I have much of.
Pat, the drilling and piercing work on this pair of 18ct gold lampshades took me about 200 hours to complete.
