That is a good project. I could use some of these for the all numerous hinges I have. Let me know how they turn out. I happen to have a few NOS new OE Thing hinges with pins. The pin is 6mm diameter or .238" and the pin is 32.5 mm long or 1.28"

Did you ever make any hinge pins?

Did you ever try out your lathe on the door pins?

Hope he didn't have an accident with that new lathe....

Making hinge pins on your lathe is a waste of time. The stock ones are hardened. Whatever you make will be too soft.
