Hi,
Does anyone know where I can obtain stainless steel pins/rod and washers (preferably in the uk)? Is it available as 1/16" diameter?
Thanks in advance

I don't know about any in the UK, but Alpha Knife Supply and Midwest Knifemaker's Supply carry what you need.
If you are looking for using stainless pins for pinning a razor...that's not what we use, it's nickel. Stainless is just too dang hard & you would probably bend it before you mushroomed the pin. Nickel pins and stainless washers...
Thanks Scott,
I want pins/washers that have a silver appearance and don't rust.
When I received my nickel silver variety I ordered from the bay, they looked like brass. I don't know if all nickel silver is created equal, but the pins I want don't have to be stainless. Can anyone point me in the right direction for silver coloured ns.
silver will do it but $$
best bet is to try a local welding / fab shop i get 1/8 SS pin and they might have smaller
they use it as TIG rod
Thanks Butch,
TIG rod did cross my mind but wasn't totaly sure how suitable it would be.
I should be able to get some from my place of work for free, I know you can get .062" form various web sites.
and you might be able to spin part of the rod down to size in a drill press (using like a lathe) so you would have a pin head on one side then only have ot peen the other
