pin height, driving fluid, beckets

[Jon Page]

That sounds pretty good, but doesn't the brass rod ding the plate?
Is there a felt punching on the end, how about using a hammer shank;
it'd be lighter too.  A lot of engineering though when the punch can 
just be driven down to the top of a felt block.
