Finally after hours of trialing various methods I managed to get a method to cut the pins down to about 20 seconds a pin. Knocked up this little punch. Both parts are silver steel and hardened. The small bit is obviously the punch and the large part has a matching hole of dia 0.22" (iirc) which is the length of the pin required. The large section is also cross drilled 0.8mm Just got given a set of letter stamps so thoughts I`d try and use some for the first time putting my initials on the new tool :D I milled two flats on the bottom of the large section so it can be held in the vice. Setup like shown below with the red box to collect the pins: To pin the wheel I took a small piece of steel bar, drilled 0.8mm ensuring that with the pin pushed in fully, a small length was sticking out to push all the way through the brass of the wheel. I put a few tiny magnets on the pin holding guide to hold the pin in place which was just coping how "Gadget Builder" did when he built this clock. Complete pinned wheel !! Next to make the arbour and supporting frames and get it mounted on the clock. Then back to remake the count wheel :ddb: |
