Pin-making Eiffel Tower DIY metal version of the Eiffel Tower model

This article is "Snooker"s contribution to the Craftsmanship Network - the production of metal pins for the Eiffel Tower. Xiaolin has to, must, and must worship the master first! Previously, this tutorial "Snooker" has also been published on Tieba DIY Bar. You can find it by searching for "The Legendary Eiffel Tower". This time he specially reorganized it, hoping to share the joy of DIY with his craft friends. As the saying goes, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone (^o^)/~

Everyone knows the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. Perhaps many people just regard it as a miracle in the architectural world. In fact, there is also a beautiful love story hidden behind it.

The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) is named after its designer, Alexandre Guiseve Eiffel. Back then, Margaret, a rich girl, fell in love with the unknown Eiffel at first sight, married him despite her familys objections, and spent the most unforgettable time in her life with him. Later, after Margaret passed away, Eiffel vowed to build a building that could best match his wifes gaze. And he himself kept his love for his wife until he grew old and never married again. Because of Eiffels loyalty, the Eiffel Tower was also given such a saying: a witness of love and a symbol of loyalty.

The Eiffel Tower I made was also a sudden idea, because I have made a toothpick version of Eiffel before, and I have also seen many pin version of Eiffel and bamboo stick version of Eiffel made by many masters on the Internet, but they all have one characteristic: they are not strong enough. I had a soldering iron at home, so I did an experiment to see if I could complete an iron tower with pin welding. The results turned out to be very good, so I started to practice welding, drawing drawings, and refining the drawings to every detail, step by step, after roughly After 2 years of spare time (actually it only takes about 5 months of concentrated time), the welding was finally completed. The tower is 1.2 meters tall. It is made according to the 1:300 miniature model of the real Eiffel Tower, using tens of thousands of pins and stainless steel wires, and welded with solder wires. Made of high simulation, this handicraft can be used as a birthday gift or a lovers gift, and can be placed in your home with a high-end atmosphere. The following is a brief introduction to the production process. Because the steps are complicated and the production time is long, I will not go into details here.
