I simply place the bead in the hole, put a piece of pine over it (about 1/2" thick) that's long enough so I can hold onto it, and use a regular hammer to hammer the bead in. I have yet to break a bead this way
I'm sure there's an easier way but this is how I do it lol
Sounds good to me! I'm going to have to try it! I even got my husband on board for drilling a bunch of holes for me!
