 Two very important tools in making these blocks are tiny Q-Tips for cleaning away excess CA and my homemade needle CA applicator for pinpoint CA delivery. 

You forgot the third, a certain degree of certifiable insanity. If I tried this all I'd end up with was a bunch of pennies with stuff glued to them such that they wouldn't even go through a bank's counting machine!

 There is a certain amount of insanity involved and at times when making these I thought I was lead singer in the band.  Eric, I know your work, your skills and determination are inspirational. 

 

 The key to making something this small is dogged determination and patience. Before I started CAing the bodies to the worktableI I chased bodies and eye pins in circles till I couldn't see straight.   These block are far from perfect and I had no illusion they would be, they are a mere suggestion being a bit better than nothing at all.

Hold on. I need to find my jeweler's loop so I can see this better!
