Paying my Dues

[Oldknfmkr]

My wife has been wanting a hat pin and some sewing pins for her 18th century kit." You are a blacksmith, make me some".
I used some wrapping wire from an old whisk broom. It is about .038" worked pretty good. I dipped the ends in molten brass to make the heads. Hot blued and coated with bee's wax.



Thanks for looking,
Mike

Watauga, that list doesn't have an end.

Blue Bird wants to know how well the work.

Shirley says they work well. She wants a least a dozen more. I am going to try a small O/A brazing tip to apply the brass, since I broke my crucible last time.
