'Pins' Question
Being new and having purchased a 'restoration project' for the learning aspect... I have fashioned some new scales from 'Yew' wood. The pins have me stymied though. What is typically used? In all the photos I have they all seem to be the same... don't tell there is a special 'pin store'?!
Also, is there a printed resource I may be able to refer to for basic restoration advice?
Assistance would be appreciated.
Thanking you all in advance.

You need 1/8" brass rod and #0 brass washers.

Most hobby shops have the brass rod.
I have always bought my washers from either microfasteners or fastener-express.

Agreed. The standard pinning material is 1/16. Originally Posted by VeeDubb65
