I forgot to mention, I drilled and pinned the joints because too many of my first minis fell apart. I got a pin vice with drill bits, first time I used it I broke a bit right off the bat. So I found a center bit/counter sink bit. The little point is .030 inch which is the size wire I am useing. It makes starting holes much easier as it is not as flimsy as the bits and on thin pieces it is as deep as I need to go. I also use a 3/8 variable speed drill, just go slow, and it will clamp the pin vice bits.
