Holy s#!+ those are museum pieces!
Both of you guys have some serious works of art.
As far as the number of pins.. Wow! Even with some kind of stencil or jig pattern ... Had to be crazy time consuming.
Now my questions are:
-Are there any records of the methods used for this art form?
-Can we do the same?
Those pins, errr uh wire?, very thin.. Drill hole first and then insert? Hammer it in? Driven in with speed?
I assume a tiny drill, but then I second guess that thought.
There's a kind of unique style to it, very cool!

Thanks for the pics! Very much appreciated.
