Drawbore pins

[Stormer1940]

Hi,

I'm looking for drawbore pins. Does anyone know where I can purchase a 1/2" set and a 10mm set?

Thanks in advance.

There are these that do both https://www.classichandtools.com/acatalog/Draw_Bore_Pins.html, made in the USofA

or

These http://www.oldtools.free-online.co.uk/shop/drawbore_pins.html, made in the UK by one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

I'm sure there are others out there but these were the 2 I thought of first.

have a look at riley tool works. I have a prototype set and they are excellent.

His website is on a holding page at the moment. Is he active on here?

Does anyone know if "podgers" in timber framing have the same effect in "easing in" the pegs. I've noticed the 3/4" pegs I'm using are a bit tight and may split when "persuaded". Maybe a podger or two will help (or wax or sandpaper).

I made my own by grinding suitable sized bolts to a taper on my bench grinder. Instead of fitting a handle, I just left the bolt head, which can be used to lever it out with a crowbar if necessary. Cheap & cheerful.
