I love this video because it shows all the labor involved in making a decent pin. I get so freaking tired of people bitching about enamel pin prices and trying to order just one . It’s a lot of steps!

i have none of this stuff at home

I have never wanted to do something more in my life this looks like so much fun.

As someone who's entire career has been in electroplating you think I would have thought of etching pieces of metal on my own a lot sooner lmao, thank you for the great video though I'm incredibly appreciative

Finally, a video about how pins are made and not just how to order them

*Nodding as if I actually remotely understood this process* "Ahh yes, so this is how enamel pins are made."

All I have to say, WOW! the amount of time and work.. my husband was trying to find a machine but after watching this! God bless you!!

Amazing work! I collect pins and its awsome to see them made at home by an individual instead of in a factory by people that dont appreciate the art.

I will never BS about the price when it comes to buying pin

Wew i had no idea making these pins was this much work. Kudos to you man!

Love the vid, actually would love to try and make some of these at home and couldn't find anything like this out there, it would be very much appreciated if you could please consider making a video or multiple, going into more depth about how it is done. Thanks for this amazing content

So much attention to detail, great job!

Do you think you could make a video explaining the process behind it? This is super cool, and it'd be awesome if you made a video describing what you're doing.

Thank for this video. While not a tutorial, it gives enough technique information that anyone should be able to develop the system and skills. However, I read through the comments and see that many have requested a tutorial type video, and I'm excited that you are considering it. Looking forward to future videos...and now, I will make some notes on how to use your video to make metal pins. I have most of the equipment, but simply need some materials. Thank you!

Step 1: have every tool under the sun

Easy!! I just lack a a few things.. for e.g. all the machines in the video..

Thanks for sharing, dude. This really gives a great idea of the hard work behind it. I was checking some to buy and thought they were bit expensive, but after seeing this video, now I think they're hell'a cheap.

Honestly i always wondered how it was made, i think its beautiful you compiled a video like this to showcase your hard work! I probably wouldn't purchase all the tools just to make enamel pins but to experience making one would be awesome. keep it up!

Finally! Someone whose process isnt: Step 1. Buy it online

Strangely relaxing and super interesting to watch, love the Patrick pin!

I did not think it was going to take that much work. Great job. I'll be on the look out for more videos and tips.

Wow! This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. Nice work, love the details.

Мужик, это достойно уважения! столько труда, ставлю жирный лайк

Just like the old Eastern Block pins. So cool!

Hey I was wondering if you could make a video where you show everything that you need to make those pins, and by that y mean the tools and materials that you are using, because I want to start doing this as a part time job. Thanks

I would also like more detail and a list of materials and processes and where you got your equipment.

Having a workshop full of equipment isn't what people think when looking for a way to do homemade stuff.

holy moly, that's a lot of work

wow, this is so amazing! thank u for sharing!

Props!! This is hard work, my enamel pins end up being plastic artwork I custom file, the metal is too expensive for me

This is fantastic would love to know what equipment and materials you use throughout. I know I would and I’m sure others would be more than happy to pay for seeing a detail process (as long as it’s not ridiculously priced) nothing else like it on the internet.

Dopenesssss!! Your pins are awesome!

¡¡Wow qué placentero ver el proceso!! ¡¡Pero más aún ver el pintado, cuánto detalle!!

Awesome video and awesome pins dude. You're super skilled

thats badass! anytips for someone who doesn't have as big if a shop tho? how what i start and what tools should i get for metal carving?

omg this is awesome, I would love to be able to do that😭 you're incredible! ❤️

WOW!!! this is so impressive!!!!!

Incredible work, they look great.

That Limbo pin is sick!

That wolfenstein pin is dope af.

Кропотливая работа. Молодец.

Looking at the process I know the badges are going to be expensive .

Awesome work! I would certainly buy an in-depth course.

Love the dedication

Wow! So talented.

Brilliant work process and the end results are stunning :)

excellente vidéo j avais jamais vue la fabrication de Pins magnifique sa demande quand même un certain matériel . merci

This is so neat!!

Yea, I respect the process a lot more lol. Deff going to buy pins from a manufacturer lol. Very involved, with a lot of tech! Niceee

Could you put the list of materials and specs in the description? Do you think that is it possible to use a laser engraver to remove the protective layer before the etch? This could save a ton of work.

oh damn i would love a tutorial on how you do some of these steps

Loved the process. Curious on the type paint used and surprised it didnt get also sanded off towards the end.

You are doing a incredible job by hand, we use automatic machines by etchcut, we almost produce 3000 pcs a day, best wishes for your work

Excellent work Pavel!

absolutely superb

Wow you’re so clever 😊

This is definitely not an at home methode dude 🤯

This video is Amazing, what type paint do you use?

I was just curious, for the enamel are you just using regular enamel that you mix with a solution into a paste and then pack it in the empty creases? Or is there actually a liquid enamel? Also what temperature are you firing the enamel at in the oven?

I would love to learn more about your process and how to make it scalable for an apartment. Do you think I could get away with getting PCB etching solution and copper sheeting and doing a sort of wax resist? I don't have the scale to do electroplating at the moment.

I knew it would be an intense process but god dang. I'll leave it to you folk XD Criminal that people pay so little for a pin that requires so much effort, time, materials, and equipment. Love that No Internet pin btw (i love them all but that one god a laugh out of me)

now theses are dope!!!!!

Omg this is amazing

Yooo those are fire.

real hand work for its lapel pin , good job . we are China lapel pin factory too .

Patrick pin is awesome!

All that work and one pin is $5. I hope you at least charge $20 a pin.

Well that was pretty quick.. I would like to know about process.. I mean whats that sticker at the begining.. ? and why it has to go through the electric current ?

This is absolutely beautiful to watch. Do you do commissions??

Now that's talent!👍

Very impressive

Thanks for making this video, it’s Inspiring. Do you have a link for the epoxy paint? I would like to buy some. 😊

Maravilloso trabajo! Cómo se llaman cada uno de los procesos que usas y como se llaman las máquinas que usas? Quisiera emprender con este tipo de negocio, pero no sé dónde conseguir las máquinas. Saludos desde México!

What brand are you using for enamel ? Having a hard time finding some

curious why the opt for eletro etching over just straight solution of some sort? been wanting to do this, had soem success with Ammonia persulfate and basic vinyl mask cut with a cricut

What is your process for acid etching? Vinyl sticker on painted base then laminated? Before put under uv light then put to soak into a bath of liquids with negative attached to piece from battery charger?,

Your job is prefect! Congratulations! What is this type of ink? What is the model of your microscope? Thank you!

THIS IS AWESOME GREAT WORK WISHING YOU THE BEST IN YOUR FUTURE BUISNESS.

Amazing!

This is one of the most beautiful processes I've ever seen, wow.. good job!!

Would you be able to share the machines and tools that you used for the making of these pins? And where did you get the material?

My apologies if this has already been asked, but what tool are you using to fill the resin in with?

That’s not home it’s a real professional workshop 😄

I’m adding my vote here for a more detailed video if you ever get the time!

this looks like a ton of work 🥺 no wonder they're so crazy expensive

So amazing!

Круто мужик, очень круто! Виртуальное рукопожатие

I am fascinated by the work of doing it by hand step by step, I would like to know if you would be so kind, what do I need to do that, machines, utensils, paint, etc.

Wow love them! Do you do batch orders in the same shapes but different designs!?

how did you make your pins? What tools and materials did you use?

Could you please make a video about how you attach the pin to the back. I’m trying to make a repair.

What tool are you using ? And what paint are you using? I will appreciate your answer 🤙🏻

I'm sure this shit is soooooo exciting to make !!!! Awesome work man !! Awesome !

太厉害了！我想知道为什么贴上那种贴纸，就能雕刻出图案呢！

Hi I now I’m late and I’m sure you’re busy but what epoxy do you use, and what pigments do you use. Thank you for your time and also I love your work

They are pretty!

That's hardly 'at home'. You have a workshop. And these pins look top notch.

I want to be able to do something like this too 🤩

Hello! Great video. The blue paint of the begining what kind of paint is? Thanks :)

Doesn't the brass oxidize over time? How do you prevent this from happening?
