Hippopotamus Christmas Tree Ornament: Installing the Screweyes
My Ornaments
Installing small screweyes can be challenging, especially since they are nearly impossible to install by hand. After experimenting with various techniques, using a hemostat has proven to be the most effective method.
When it comes to materials, stainless steel screweyes are the best choice. They offer superior strength compared to other materials and are less prone to breaking. Additionally, stainless steel is harder and withstands potential damage from installation tools. A significant advantage of stainless steel is that it does not react with any of the woods I have used.
In the past, I used gold-colored screweyes, but they often broke easily, and the colored finish could be easily damaged. Over time, those screweyes would also change in color, leading to an inconsistent appearance.
Choosing stainless steel for screweyes ensures durability and reliability in any project.
