Ahh, thank you both. A long term question now answered.
Dennis, I think having a loose peg would drive me nuts when piercing. It doesn't seem a good setup for those trying to learn.
James, Thanks for the photo. Mine attached. I have a habit of cutting notches and grooves which I find helpful to stabilise some items but not sure if this is common practice. Aways interested to see others.
Presumably the hammers shown are for anticlasting the flower petals/leaves which look fantastic already? How do you close off the ends? is it with a doming punch and the wooden block I can see? I'm interested as it would be a useful technique to finish the ends of synclastic cuffs. I did a trial one a few months ago and struggled a bit with the ends. (Sorry if I'm going off thread)
