If you size the thing  with the pin as mentioned, you should not have to do 
any reaming or only very  lightly. Why tear up the cloth? Before doing any 
reaming, try burnishing the  felt. The final fit of the pin in the felt should be 
firm but not tight ...  whatever that means. Check swings, drop, or grams and 
burnish as  necessary.



Terry,
 
I've learned two ways of sizing with pins, and both have worked  for me. 
 
One is to get the pin size by fitting it to the birdseye, get the cloth  
through the flange, then use the smallest pin you have just to get the felt  glued 
in, essentially just using the pin as a clamp, then ream to size(once it's  
all dried, of course).  
 
The other is to use a pin one-half size smaller than the one  you've dry-fit 
to the birdseye to clamp the felt.  This also sizes  it (more or less) in the 
process.
