Thread: My (prototype) pinning system

No offense taken...actually it came down to immediate availability. If I could have found size 0 washers or microfasteners in Winnipeg I would have probably gone that route. I have used scavenged cup washers from old razors in the past and that works well. I guess this was an exercise in seeing if I could make what I needed rather than ordering it online and waiting (I guess I am not patient enough!) I also like that its kind of unique, and that I learned a few other useful things in the process (like the plastic shield thing and being able to use the jig to drill out old pins on other razors).
