Recently, just last Wednesday 6/23/10, I picked up the latest version of the drift pin prototype, model #3.
We tested it Thursday at Heartwood school with Will Beemer and Dave Carlon.
I drove it into a 3/4" hole pulling up a brace and it worked great.
I drove it into a 1" hole pulling up a cross sill to a long sill of the project the timber framing class was test fitting together. And it worked great again.
Each test proved the pin worked great, and was easy to remove.
I don't have a digital picture of this pin, but it is much better and cheaper to make then model #2.
I hope to be offering these for sale shortly.
I want to make up some sample joints and photograph and video the tests so that I can show "how to" use these pins to test fit your frames together.
Once I have some on order, I'll make up a bunch and ship them out and then have some on hand for future sales.
Stay tuned....
