A temporary framing pin for use in traditional pegged timber frame building. The pin is used in place of the oak peg during construction and assembly of the frame.
Forged from solid stainless or mild steel bar, and ground to a smooth finish, with a T-handle (useful for knocking out wooden pegs!).
Stainless pins are recommended for green oak that is likely to be getting wet while the pins are in place, as mild steel, water and the oak’s tannin will stain the wood.
The stainless pins are more expensive as they are harder to forge, as well as the material being pricey.
Other sizes (e.g. 7/8″ , 5/8″, 1/2″) may be available on request.
