Thread: Pinning question from a beginner

Thanks a bunch for all of the info., I really appreciate all of your comments and instruction. Nice to know a place where folks are friendly and helpful. This is a new and vast thing (oddity,sport?) I don't know what else to call it!!! LOL It is very interesting and there is a lot to learn in this craft, yeah, a craft. Again, thanks for the input and if I can do anything for ya, holler.

I make them from scratch. 1/16 brass rod in 1 foot lengths, an assortment of brass and stainless washers from Microfasteners, a small ball peen hammer, fine file and some practice. It is not that difficult, just takes a little practice. Big thing is not tapping on the pin too hard. If you bend it, your ruin it.

Thanks for the tips. That is a beautiful razor right there, If you did the peening and pinning then that is some fine craftsmanship.

Buy ya a cheap razor & practice pinning! You'll get the hang of it.
