Help! Australian SRP but anyone really :)
1st..this group is really awsome! big shout out to everyone being so direct and helpful... many problems in threads are solved and the wisdom is shared so directly.. good job! :)
Now...I have restored a Koch & Co Crystal Junior and a Fabyan Knife Co Well Known..pics to come.. i have replaced the old broken scales and now need to re-pin the pieces.... but no one in my whole area has any brass, copper, stainless rod/tube for re-pinning...never mind the washers!! I have used a lathe to turn down brass screws and cut out aluminium tin can washers but i hand made the jarrah and brushbox wood handles and the 'results' of the fabrication do not do the restoration work justice. I have since visited industrial suppliers, home hardware, plumbing, radiator/auto shops, car stereo shops, DIY handyman private businesses... we do not have a hobby store here.... honestly i have tried everyone.. the closest being silver tube from a refridgeration shop that i would need to sand down.? So.... .. i just have two razors to re-pini am about to travel and cannot order in packets etc with possibility of incorrect sizing etc... PLEASE can someone send me exactly what i need to finish these 2 pieces.. in Australia if preferred as simply letter postage... i assume it would be
4 Brass rods (aruond 8 cm total length if in single piece)
12 brass or stainless washers (4 outside and 2 inside for razor glide)
anything extra that may be needed.. but i think that is all that is required as the pins are peened over onto the washers no 'caps' ..?
OKAY thank you SRP peeps.. seriously need this finished!
