Peening pins on a wood handle
Some advice please. I am in the process of repairing an old pruning knife. The original plastic handle was broken when the knife was given to me and I would like to replace the plastic scales with scales made from a hard South African wood. The knife had no bolsters, just the plastic handles with a pin front and rear. The rocking pin was hidden under the plastic. At the moment I am busy thinning two pieces of wood and intend to use the same principle as the knife originally had ie. a hidden rocking pin and a visible pin at either end. My problem is how to peen the two pins against the wood without splitting it. Any help will be much appreciated as I have never attempted anything like this before. Thank you.
