pins, following the instructions on https://katafalk.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/making-your-own-medieval-dress-pins/

made with 0.6mm copper wire, because that's the one I already had plenty of. I also have some huge 1.2mm brass wire that I want to try (but probably will only be suitable for things like coarse wool?) and silver plated copper wire that I'm not sure would survive the hammering part.

I also need a better surface to do the hammering on; the scrap of wood I used is probably too soft and didn't enjoy the process :D

Definitely something I need to get better at (and will probably try to).

Second batch (the ones on the right). The silver plated copper is too thin to be really useful, and the brass is nice, but too thick. I do plan to buy thinner brass, the next time I have a chance to.

I also found a better surface to do the hammering on: one of my multifunction heavy washers / fabric weights (placed on top of the wood scrap).
