Hi all,
I just completed a slipjoint and have two issues that may be related that i would really like to get your opinions if you could please help.
First, the pin in the bolster shifted during finishing. It rose on one end and sunk on the other. I haven't had this problem before and the only thing different was this time I didn't give the pin a big hammer blow at the start before peening.
Second, the blade tip doesn't lay center. I allways thought this was due to the tang and liners not being square. Now this may have happened but I just got to thinking if this could also be affected by the pin during the peening process.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!
