    Default My pins do not meet my approval

    I could use some help with pinning. The pins of my first efforts do not meet my approval. I am using a small ball peen hammer, 1/16 brass rod with brass washers, and 1/16 in nickel silver rod with steel washers. Looking straight down, they don't look too bad, but from the sides they are not well formed. Would this suggest that I should use more but gentler blows with the hammer? Or should I use fewer but heavier blows? Or does this just improve with practice? I could use suggestions.
