Making the actual pinhole

Hi Joel,

I read your message on the list regarding what size
drill bits to use to make your pinholes. Personally
I've had great success making my pinholes out of
aluminum from pop cans (or "soda" cans if you prefer).
 The aluminum is very thin, not to mention cheap and
plentyful.
I use a sewing needle to puncture a hole through the
metal, then smooth it over with some emery (sp?) paper
which is really fine sandpaper available in a hardware
or plumbing supply store.
If you're resourceful, you'll find the best stuff to
make cameras out of is in the garbage anyhow (unless
you have lots of money burning a hole in your pocket).

Good Luck,

Jeremy
