Perhaps you could use a small pin vise? I have a set myself, though I keep breaking the pins. Soon I will need to buy another set.

When starting drilling, it's good to mark the spot by pressing with a needle, so there's a starting point and less chance for the drill bit to slip.

thanks for the tip, read your article fighters under the midnight sun, I had read about finlands war against the soviets, timelife had a series of 24 books with one being dedicated in large part to the scandinavian conflict, "battles for scandinavia' I would love to visit finland someday and visit war museums and such. your article offered new insight into the valiant war effort against the reds.
