Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] brass tube vias tooth press

I like that idea.

I may play with that idea.
I pretty much stick to 70 mm by 100 mm etching so perhaps a C clamp or a large jaw pliers that can reach 40mm (half way across the PCB.... would be good to hold the teeth cones.

The one thing one could do with the brass tubing is to make a conical tool for both sides which will flange the tubing.  Done right, it would produce an airtight seal and solder would be superfluous (though highly advised).

(in case the listing goes, title is "1 Black Jar Boxed Bar Design 0.5mm Thickness Rivets Studs Gold Plated Metallic Japanese Style 3D Nail Art Decoration Accessories")

I have absolutely no idea if they are solid, brass, copper, or maybe even plastic, but for $2 I figure it's worth a look.
