Epoxy for pins?

[MT Borg]

Was wondering if you could fill in the pin holes completely with colored epoxy? Would the strength be there to keep the handles on? Any drawbacks?

Won't work,epoxy has very little shear strength.They would snap is hit sideways,Thats the reason for pins.

You could make the pins short, drive them in, and then fill the holes with epoxy.

Use hollow tubing, and fill the tubing with colored epoxy. You can even use Garolite (a type of micarta) tubing if you don't want brass/stainless.
