[N.B.]

    Hello Orchid I want to learn how to  fabricate my own pin backs, ones
    that really work fairly easily and fasten securely, especially for
    heavier pieces. I've seen jewelry artist use their own pin back
    designs which I thought added as much to the design as to the
    function of the piece.  Do any of you know of a book or an article
    that might describe how to design and fabricate a unique pin back
    mechanism ? I hate the way the manufactured ones look and operate.I
    don't want to reinvent the pin mechanism just learn ways to make more
    than one style. I have books that describe clasps, hinges, etc. but I
    have not seen one  with pin backs. Thanks for your help. Nancy
