jig head pins
« on: September 13, 2015, 02:01:55 PM »
Anyone know where i can find pins for making jigs that would hold a 3/8 bead?
I've checked a few craft stores but did not find any.

Thanks

Bring a jig head to a hardware store and look at finishing nails. Should do the trick.

 I use brads. They come in different gauges so they fit different hole sizes.

Estucheon pins. They are brass so they won't rust.
I use the 1" variety from Rona, but I see that Lee Valley also carries them.
