guys, I am looking for gold pins and washers. Does anyone have a good source for them?
Google is decidedly unhelpful when searching for gold pins, gold rod or gold bar stock :)

So far, the websites selling gold I've seen are only selling gold & platin pins for registered professional jewelers.
I'm using silver, it's way more easy to get.
A co-forumer I know is using gold to pin his razors. I'll ask him where he got it.
Thanks. I am making a small potato peeler from Turkish twist Damascus, and I want to use mammoth ivory and rubies for the handle. Gold pins seem only logical :)
Deluxe potato peeler ! ^^

Yes. If you are going to peel potatoes, you might as well do it in style.
I am going to man a table at the Gembloux knife show alongside Grace Horne this year. I will be showing some razors and knives but don't really hope to sell a lot. My main goal is to have fun, meet some old and new friends, and impress people like Grace, Mike, Hank, Ed, and several others. Making a sale would be nice but honestly I doubt anyone is going to buy a 700 euro potato peeler with mammoth ivory handle, 2 gold pins and 3 sets of gem quality rubies in a blue velvet presentation box.
Sometimes I don't have a better reason to do things than: because I could, and felt like doing it :)
Hi Bruno,
I would suggest that you contact Jewellery Supply houses. for rod, and flat stock plus other findings.
Here a two that I trust, from years of service, here in the USA:
Jewelry Tools | Wholesale Jewelry Making Supplies | Stuller

That should ive an idea of what you may looking for.
I know there are similar houses in Europe.
I look forward to your Potato Peeler!

Bring it to Charlie's next year and I,ll peel the taters for dinner! I mean how many times in a mans life do you get to peel taters with a jeweled peeler? Tc
I'm not shure how well gold pins would work. There relatively soft.

14k gold must do the job.
