    Default Ok so I need a re pin. Who da man??

    So I got taken on Escam on a junk razor.
    BUT now I found a good blade to put in the nice scales.
    Any kind of special pin I should get or are they all the same?

    Do you already have scales or you also need a set?

    There are a number of people who can repin, Joe Chandler is a member/vendor who can do it...but a lot of members can probably assist you. I cannot think of anyone else other than Joe who is a vendor and would just do a re-pin though???

    Any hobby shop 1/16" brass rod stock. #0 and #0W brass washers from www.microfasteners.com, a ballpeen hammer (even a regular hammer will do but be gentle with it), and a flat hard surface (a small 11lb anvil's cheap and works great). Total cost about $20 and that should be enough for dozens of pinning jobs.

    Don't forget the makeshift washer press shown in Bill's restoration CD.

    I should review that. It might save me some cussing and swearing next time I put up a set of scales lol.

    Default hmmmm.....gratis eh?

    Well Firestart, I may just have to take you up on that offer in the next month or so.
    First I need to hone a small nick out of the new blade and get some more
    MTWDKA ( Money The Wife Don't Know About )
    Unfortunately the USPS won't work for free.
    Oh and plus I'm looking at a REALLY cool razor that is mislabeled on ebay
    Gee i'd love to post a link but on second thought......
