How to make a embossed Vindonissa cingulum plate.

Quote:What is the best way to put holes through a plate? A drill bit doesnt work for me, it just spins and slips on the metal. Also, did you make or buy your lead block? I'm sure I could make one since lead melts so easy.

To stop plate spinning on your pillar drill. Use a block of wood. Punch positions of the holes in your plate.. Tap 4 small nails into the block so you can slide your plate into position. You can then safely drill your holes without decapitating your fingers..... :wink:
