I am going to make a slew of wooden push per a request and need to know where I might find the pin part or if I can use something else suitable for this. Does anyone have any ideas? I have an order for 24 dozen!
If you are going to break 288 pins from plastic you better have a few good , stiff drinks to start . Try a local hobby store or a place like Micromark and get a package of "T" pins and cut off the tops . The "T" pins would probably be best because it will leave long enough pins to glue in .
Good luck , after 2 gross of those you won't want to look at a lathe for awhile .
Those t-pins will take a good sized pliars to snip -- but easier is the cutting disk on a dremel. The same disk will let you make a few scratches in the shank.
This is a good place for slow set epoxy --
Waste block and glue for mounting bits of leftover pieces of what ever for turning.
1/4 inch flutless gouge or 1/4 inch gouge with a Cindy Drozda grind works well.
Have fun -- and let your self go with shapes and sizes amd materials.
I gotta ask, what are charging for these?
I don't really expect an answer, just laughing when I think about someone paying $5.00 a piece for these . . . .
