Spun Pin Heads? How to?

[gables]

I want to make a coffin handled knife that has pins with heads on them. This would be 1/8" diameter pins that have a polished and rounded head on them. How would I accomplish this? I was searching a catalog and saw a head spinner- is this the trick?

Here is a Harvey Dean knife that has what I want.

gables,
       I dont believe that a head spinner was used on this type pin. I have not seen this particular knife, but I strongly suspect that these are domed cups that have a small diameter pinstock through it. Lin

I think so, too, Lin.
Not really "pins" but like thumb tacks or studs.
But, Gabriel, yo are on the right track. You'd need to already sort of have your pins cut to exact length before assembly and then spins the heads to round them over.

Jantz sells a head spinner, you chuck it in a drill press.

Gables, I use nail sets. Cut of the square head and use your drill press. Good Luck Knifemaker
