1) Hafting means flat - especially on the liner side.
2) No matter how bad you booger up the bolsters, you can file / sand it out
3) You'll find final assembly much easier if you do NOT peen the center pin on when assembling the scales / liners.
4) Just when you think your peening sux, you'll spend an hour undoing what you did in step #3.
5) A nickel, and a bench vise make for a fine spring compressor.
This is what I learned today, stay tuned for tomorrows episode..........
