Directed by: Tony Randel
Starring: Ashley Laurence, Doug Bradley, Imogen Boorman, Kenneth Cranham
Question: When Elliot Spenser is being transformed into Pinhead, who was cutting lines into his face and head and driving nails into him?
Answer: All we can see (in abstract closeup) is serpent-like tendrils cutting him and driving the pins into his head. As someone else said, it's likely another cenobite, although alternately it could also be the same "contraption" that turns Channard into a cenobite late in the film, given the tendrils are similar to the ones he sprouts.

Answer: Presumably another cenobite/cenobites. The choice not to show them makes for a better scene, as that moment is all about him, becoming the iconic Pinhead; the cenobites who made him that way are of no consequence to the story, and their own grotesque appearance would have distracted from his transformation.
