[David Vanderhoofven]

Hi Terry,

I have used an air hammer on the past 3 or 4 jobs!  Works great!  However, 
the last two jobs ended up not as good as if I had used a sledge hammer and 
tuning pin punch.  The end result was loose tuning pins in a new block, and 
I think that the loose tuning pins were the result of the air hammer.  It 
is very easy to put a tuning pin in at an angle and damage the interior of 
the hole in the pinblock.

Be careful to put the tuning pin in the hole at the correct angle, or 
beware of the possibility of loose tuning pins later.
