- 1). Tape the pattern on the tin sheet. Make sure it will not get lose and shift. Patterns are outlines made from a series of dot and can be found from tin ware and woodworking companies (see Resources).
- 2). Secure the tin sheet to the plywood with tape; this keeps it from moving about during punching.
- 3). Hold the nail on top of a dot in the pattern and tap it with the hammer until it pierces through the tin. Do not tap the nail completely through or the hole will be too large.
- 4). Continue to make a hole over each dot in the pattern using the same nail. Replace your nail if it becomes bent. The holes should be uniform in size for the best results.
