Great workshop ideas.

Thanks, everybody. Lot's of good ideas.

Since this is workshop for el ed students, I wanted to make sure i used methods and materials that they were likely to be able to reproduce on their own and that elementary students could do.

I just drilled a couple of holes with some tape up on the taper of my #10 needle to restrict how far it could pierce the brass. I'll have to wait till tomorrow to measure with my high res scanner at work to see what size and how consistent I was, but with my 4x magnifying glass at home, they look smaller than the full diameter of the needle.

Have to go down to the hardware store tomorrow to see if I can find one of those punches. Opening the hole in the canister with a hand drill with the right bit might be safe enough for elementary students to handle, but finding a hand drill might be as tough as finding a full size VHS camcorder. I wouldn't be surprised if a leather punch was something in the kit of the average elementary Art educator.
