Steve,
Interesting idea ...fitting in enlarger to check. Most of my
pinhole cameras are made out of "tin cans". I find the thin steel plate
gives me more control when I abrade the hole through using an oilstone. For
aluminium piecases I usually stone the point off a needle and use it to
punch out a disc of material by placing case on a hardwood block and gently
tapping needle with small hammer.
