A pin vice is for holding small drill bits for hand drilling. I used a 1/2 drill chuck for doing one side of the pin.

Its all done. All I had to do was clip off the top of the pinning rod and it was ok.

It is important to use split point bits in your pin vice as the regular ones are tough to start by hand.Last edited by RezDog; 09-04-2015 at 08:25 PM.

None of this is my original thoughts either. This has all been posted here before. I think the drill chuck process came from one of sharptonn's posts. As for doming the washers there is no shortage of post on that here. Many use manufactured doming blocks others a homemade block and punch.

Also I drilled a few holes to help me peen.
One thing I noticed is that my pin head has strike marks where as yours is smooth. I must be doing some thing wrong. Maybe you can see from the picture below.

The thing with peening is that you need to polish your hammer in order to get a nice finish on your pin without having to polish it.

I see.I think my peening hammer it cheep and not vey good Originally Posted by RezDog
Also I made the cardinal mistake of trying to drill the holes with a cordless drill on a pair of dovo scales. They were scales I'd attached with a micro nut n bolt about a year ago. They are now destroyed.
I'm waiting for my Dremel drill workstand to arrive.
Yesterday I read some thing about having all your tools ready before starting, it fell on deaf ears.
At least I know what not to do now
