Wow how resourceful of you to create this method of making your own headpins and the bonus is that they have the pretty ball on the end. I just love this and thank you for sharing it with us. Outstanding !
Love my torch. Have been using it for 3 years without a problem, but it is not from Harbor Freight.

I am using fine silver wire not solder wire, and I don't use any flux. There is little oxidation because it is fine silver instead of sterling.
