There are lots of pin tools.
Even so, some times you still have to modify one to suit your own vision.
The one on top is 36 inches [ 92 cm. ] long. It is a 1/4 inch
[ 1.5 mm ] dowel and a pin from a cheap pin tool.
WHAT IS IT FOR ?
Tall cylinders often have air bubbles in the walls. As they get taller
the bubble can cause the vessel to move off center. The simple solution is
to slice the bubble.
IF YOU CAN SEE OR REACH THEM !!!
Your arm will get in the way as you reach into the vessel.
So, you cannot see the little bubbles.
Hense, the SUPER PIN TOOL.
Just pull the pin out of a cheap pin tool with a pair of plyers.
[ One is pictured below; the one on top ]
Then, make a pilot hole in the dowel with the point of the pin. To do this,
push the point of the pin into the end of the dowel.
[ with the pair of plyers ]
THEN, pull the pin out and turn the it around. Put the flat end of the
pin in the pilot hole and
VOILA !! A SUPER PIN TOOL.
Of course, it is dangerous. Find a very stable, safe place to keep it
within reach of your wheel. “Dead”icate some time to find a
safe place. You could bend over and put out an eye or puncture yourself.
SAFETY FIRST ! PLEASE
P.S. A SUPER PIN TOOL was used to make
