[modeleng] Re: Split pins

There was an article by D A G Brown in ME vol.185, issue 4130 on the 
making of very small split pins. His method of making the half round 
wire is to stretch a length of wire in a piercing saw frame and then 
draw file it to a half round section. Might be a bit tedious though if 
you've got 100 to make!
I presume that half round brass beading is not obtainable in the size 
you require.
