Patience is a must if you want good looking parts. The balusters are die cut and each must be rounded with a flat file to form a 2mm pin. Note here that ALL die cut parts are not smooth when punched out and should be filed down or smoothed with emery cloth until all bumps and hairs are removed.- The 1mm holes in the threading blocks are done with a pin vise.- The mooring bits are cut and shaped to size with a flat file.
