Anyone have a brass pin hardware website recommendation?

Definitely welding supply stores , jewelry supply places or last resort, metal company’s -

I believe JantzSupply.com has all kinds of stuff like that. Look for knifemaking supplies. They use brass rods in all diameters.

I agree,welding supply or hardware stores.I typically use the 1/8’’ brass rod.

Do a google search for escutcheon pins or brass pins. I bought some last Christmas and you buy them by weight.

I have seen brass round rod and square rod at ACE Hardware in variouse sizes.

McMaster-Carr has some

that start at 1/16” diameter

Also brass dowels that start at 1/4”

My experience it that their shipping is awesome.

This are some of the sites I have researched for knife making supplies:

http://www.hawkinsknifemakingsupplies.com/

http://www.knifemaking.com/

http://www.texasknife.com/

http://www.popknifesupplies.com/

They have threaded pins as well as the regular rod type. Have fun and be safe.

Good luck !
