RWG Technical Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If I need one, I make it out of my stock of misc sized stainless steel pins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDorian Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I was thinking maybe solder from a soldering iron might do, I gotta run to the hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Solder will be far to soft.. I've made them in the past from 2mm stainless rod. A proper watch makers lathe would be ideal, but I used a dremmel type tool and ground the ends down to flat with a grinding stone. Hole the pin in the dremmel chuck, manually hold the stone against the spinning part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDorian Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 WHat about just a nail? I've ordered a dremel in order to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
