Thread: How do you pin scales?

Whoops! My fault, I meant whenever he says 1/16" as the size it refers to a brass ROD (solid). The only brass TUBE that he says to use is 3/32" as a bushing. Sorry again. I think Bill clarified this himself somewhere.

Hey Sshack.

I live in an apartment too and don't have a shop. Instead of an anvil I used a coaster made out of granite. I've had it since college and I really don't care if I chip or scratch it. It worked great. I've done a bunch of pins oin it and never damages it. In fact it will help remind you to "tap gently." :-)

Looks like Bill was banned, anyone know why?

We can't discuss banning of members publicly. That's a private matter for the member concerned and the mod team.

Thanks,
