I know there are some very good pinning videos out there, but I decided to try making another one. Hopefully I will do something a little different that somebody finds helpful.

Great Vid from a master razor maker.I have helped a couple newbs tighten blades at the pivot and shown them how to pin.
One thing of great import I feel (you can see and hear it In Charlies vid) You want the hammer to bounce off the pin,the hammer will do this with a light touch and using gravity alone,no downward force is needed,just let the hammer fall under it's own wgt.
Nice work Charlie!
You know, I made a pining video once. The feedback was that it was quite boring: 10 minutes of me staring off into the distance and sighing a lot. I thought it had a lot of appeal with the goths and emos, but apparently not.... :( ... *sigh*

Thanks Charlie great video, i like the part about using the rod as a gauge. Good tip!
Thanks for the video, using the stock as a guide and having a hole in the anvil for the first side were little things I hadn't though of. Gonna go try it out!
lovely looking razor to boot. Great vid with some key tips!

Terrific video as all of yours are.
Two questions.
I did some nickel silver pins a while back and ended up using a 16 oz. ball peen hammer rather than the 4 oz. on them because they were so darn hard. This lead to a discussion about annealing. Were those pins annealed? It went a lot faster than any peening I've done.
The other question is did that cut on your finger come from a razor? I just nicked myself good lately when I was honing up a blade and the phone rang. Distracted me for just an instant and there was blood.
Keep up the good work.
The nickel silver pins were not annealed my me. I used the pin stock as I got it. The pin stock came from Jantz knife supply.Quote:

I know what you mean. A quarter of my tool box now seems to be devoted to medical items. Band aids, hearing protection, eye wash, asprin, antacids, etc. Gaffer tape is a stagehands best friend. Piece of paper towel and a half inch wide strip of gaffers, compression and you get a band aid that will last you thru load out.
I'm going to try annealing my next nickel silver pins and see what happens. Can't be any harder than the way I'm doing it now.
Thanks for your efforts.
I think he was shagged out and tired after a long squawk.Quote:
