Pin Manufacturing Videos?

[Guy the Ghoul]

I was wondering, are there any videos on You Tube or any other site that would show how Disney pins are made? It would be fun to see the process! Please post any info, thanks!

This was a fun one done by "How It's Made" a few years back. It's not Disney specific, but shows how lapel pins are generally made. There are many other ways to make pins, such as "stamping" a pin out of a sheet like a coin. The stamping process creates that neat mickey pattern on the back of the pins, where they run off the edge. The process shown in this video created that "border" often spoken about in regards to scrappers. Enjoy!

"How It's Made" is an awesome show!
That was very interesting, I recently had been wondering how these bits of metal are made.
