Next thing...I... heh... I don't own a peening hammer, apparently.And as it seems I've been forced into chemical warfare against my shower stall today, I don't know that I'll be able to get out to get one today. So, today, no progress.

So, today, no progress. Lynn seems to have lost the battle against the shower stall since we havent heard from him since... We are confident he fought bravely using his SAK... Hey, that's an idea for a new useful tool on a SAK; a gas mask!
P.S, Lynn is a She.
Yes, Lynn is indeed a she.
Those pinheads (lol) don’t quite look like they’ll fit in the brushings.

Sorry for the delay in response.Yes, Lynn is indeed a she.Second, there is SOME progress but my garage, where I'm doing the peening work, is unheated, and it's been very cold here the last couple days.Still...I am not all that happy with my work. I think I slightly bent both pins in the process, so... (sigh). I'm not sure if i should proceed as is or cut off what I've done and try again.
Have you tried wrapping the tool in tape to stop it flopping around when you hammer it?Do you have some heavy metal thing to use as an anvil?Peening can be a smurf in the behind sometimes.
great mod Lynn I like your jig.
