He is a hefty guy, the biggest of my tikicoins (hey, he IS the king and all!). Here is a pic of how I made my first TikCoin into a zipper pull for my camera bag (Note the cool patina the bronze has developed after miles of rainy hiking trails!): I very carefully drilled a hole through his eyebrow and slipped a small stainless jumpring through the hole. It is tricky to drill something this small - I'd put him in a vice if you have one (make sure the vice has non-marring plastic grips) and I'd use a center punch to make a starting dent for the drill bit to dig into. Mojo is bigger than this TikiCOin so it should go easier. Good luck - post a pic when he's done! Mahalo, VanTiki [ Edited by: VanTiki 2006-05-12 19:58 ]
