I still have to say that the stars have to line up just right for my Pinning to go right.
I take a best guess as the the finnished length of the pin and remove it, chuck it up in my dremel tool and finish the end so it will look a little better after all the tapping required to rivel the washers in place.
What I do is put a very flat end to the pin and then a slight chamfer so that the head of the rivel ends up somewhat even it it's roundness.
Thats my tupense, have a great shave and don't give up, you'll get better at it, as I will in time.
