Thread: When Pins Cannot Be Tightened

There are a ton of posts I know I have, that show the old pins coming out, you would be amazed at what they look like, they are little springs in there just like the guys are saying.

Like Wade described you are actually trying to create a Mushroom (peen) hitting the pin directly down is not the objective, the better the "Ball" is on your Ballpeen Hammer the easier this is to accomplish.. You want to actually strike off the dead center top of the pin and off the side center of the hammer to create the ideal peen which will tighten the razor..

If you watch the Vid I have up on Youtube I explain this way better and show the rolling motion and circular tapping much better..

The biggest problems for people starting off, is hitting too hard and hitting dead center..
