Hello everyone! It's tiller pin time at the Cave of Shiny Things! 😊

Here's a selection of some of the tiller pins I have in stock - they make great gifts or just an addition to your own collection!

All my tiller pins are made from solid brass, with a solid brass pin threaded and soldered into the base.

I've added prices to the photo captions, and I'm happy to post if needed (P&P for these pins is £4).

Drop a comment if you are interested in these, or if you pop over to my Page Menzies Marineware and Handicrafts you'll find my phone number and email address if you prefer to get in touch that way.

You can also visit my shop at Glascote Basin in Tamworth, open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 10am til 4pm.

Hiya! Happy Monday! Cave of Shiny Things here 😊 Here's some of my chimney chains that I have recently completed, plus a few other interesting bits I currently have for sale.

My chimney chains are each unique and different, and I also make them to order with your own design ideas. All of them are designed to do the job they are supposed to do - catch your chimney if it falls, and not break!

The flat link chains I make from scratch, each link is handmade from solid brass wire and strip, and then silver soldered together. I then solder the bosses on to ornament the chain.

The twisted link chains are taken from solid brass stock chain and made to length, with rings at each end for securing. I choose different ornaments for each chain, to create a pleasing look.

The three chains in the pictures here are for sale, or if you have an idea of a chain you would like, to match your boat name or to signify something important to you, please get in touch. I'm always happy to discuss ideas!

If you are interested in these or any other items on show here, get in touch! Also check out my tiller pin selection in my last post, and the vintage and second hand items I post regularly.
