Just made my first push pin. Took about 37 hours to complete and I'll have to charge 300.00 just to pay for my time.
BTW it wouldn't even make a sound when I got done.

Here are the pics of the push pin. I changed the peg to a piece of poplar. It is making some turkey sounds now. The first peg was walnut as well as the rest of the box.

I like push pins they look like they are hard to build no doubt!--Lyle

What does the washer on the rubber band do ? Also most of the push pulls I have use a sharper point on the striker. Not a complete point .but pointier anyway.
There is no washer on the rubber band. It is another rubber band. I was trying both bands at the same time and 1 by itself. I tried a sharp point and then just kept filing it down until I got some sound out of it. The first striker I made was a typical striker made out of walnut and it wouldn't even make a sound.

I think you did a great job, you ought to see my first attempt at making these things, I have only made four and most likely it would take an army to make me do another. They are so simple to use but man oh man are they a booger to make.

Now that I look at it.. YEP.... nuther rubber band. Looks good though.

Most that I've seen Joe have a flat filed on to of the striker peg, so it works like the rail on a box call.
