Every real man has a knife, which he takes with him for fishing, hunting, mushrooms and to the country. You can give it a personality with the help of pins, which are made very simply in home conditions.
Watch our video on making pins at home and turn your knife into a vibrant personality.
We will need:
- metal tubes of different diameters and sizes;
- wire;
- 2 plywood dies;
- wooden dostochka;
- glue;
- a jar for diluting glue;
- a syringe;
- hardener;
- dropper;
- black paint for copier for coloring glue.
Cut off the desired piece of wire, (when you cut the edge of the wire, it will need to be squeezed with pliers and remove excess burrs) and align it with your hands.
Ideally, the wire cannot be aligned, so we clamp it in plywood and align it with translational movements.
The wire does not need to be cut longer than the tube itself.
We proceed to the manufacture of pins: we take one tube and we select those wires under the diameter of the tube that will enter the tube in sufficient quantity to get a pattern later.
Inserting the wire is better than different diameters, it will go tight, but in the end you will get a beautiful pattern.
Now we take the second tube to collect the second pin and begin to stuff it with copper wire. Drawing from the wire is better to do different.
When we assemble a small tube, you need to insert it into the second tube of a larger diameter and then fill the large tube again with wire. The figure does not matter, it can be modified or disassembled and reassembled.
All pins are ready, now we proceed to the second part.
We need to dilute the glue. To do this, we collect 4 cubes of glue in a syringe and squeeze it into a jar for dilution.
Then add 1:10 hardener to the glue and mix.
Next, add the paint to the diluted glue.
All glue is ready, but it is better to heat it before using a hairdryer.
From a pre-prepared dropper we need to take an elastic band and then with the half that is wider - put on our metal tube.
Now, using a syringe, we fill the tubes with heated resin.
The syringe needs to be put on the top of the gum, lower the tube into the glue and pick up the glue through the tube with the syringe. You need to recruit the composition slowly, and then glue one side with plasticine.
Allow the pins to dry for a day, remove the clay from the ends, cut off a bit of the edge and polish it.
