Start to Finish: Let's Emboss Metal, Drill and Rivet, Colorize w Alcohol Ink Tube. Duration : 18.43 Mins.

So there is nothing hard here, just need the right tools and a place to work and you will be taking my ideas and improving on them., ALSO DEMONSTRATED: a freehand way to set a tube rivet....I have some renegade ways of doing this that sometimes work, and sometimes don't.

These SKU numbers from our website should work in the Cuttlebug base01628, brox01732, brox1720 (this is the heart blank I drilled in the video ...
