Found small stainless washers and new peening mathod
Dear Members,
I have not been a contributor to this page before because I haven’t really had anything to contribute but now I have something you will like and I think it is what everybody has been looking for (see pictures).
Number one, I have found some stainless washers that are small.
(see pic 4 with normal brass and domed washer)
Fastener Express - Socket Head Cap Screws, Metric Screws , Fasteners and Anodize - Flat Washers Stainless Steel
When I first got them I thought ,no way but soon found…WAY!!
I also found the peening of these pins barbaric, in a way…thinking that there had to be a better way I started experimenting and was about to give up and looked on my wall in my shop and noticed an old engraving tool. Well it isn’t going to do any more engraving because after I ground the diamond tip off and rounded it slightly and polished it…I had my self a little rivit gun. Yeah …and it works really good, with the new washers too. The razor in the picture is using the new peening method and using a domed washer I made.
(see pic 3)
Also, I got a acrap of leather and glued it to a small piece of plywood and found that if you put a little Mothers on it; it will polish up pins and washers like you wouldn’t believe. (see picture 1)
Looking forward to your feedback .
