Any advice where I can get the pins or what to use? like do I use metal wire or something? or are there little hobby pins made for exactly this? I know I can get the drill at GW
You can find pinning kits that come with a pin vice, brass rod, and drill bits in matching diameters, but you can get by just fine without them. I use paperclips or short lengths of 16g galvy that I have laying around, instead. A 1mm drill bit should work well enough to accommodate either (assuming standard paperclips - the larger and smaller sizes are made using different diameters of wire, obviously), and both can be trimmed with the diagonal cutters at the back of most pliers, if you don't already have something better. It really doesn't take anything fancy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536564/5791913.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536564/5791913.page GMT Noob question (probably) gw tools. You can get better quality tools much cheaper. I got a 250 PC tool set including the drill(generic dremel) for £35 from maplin. Most budget electronics stores carry the same type of equipment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536564/5792238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536564/5792238.page GMT
