Hammer Spring Rail Replacement

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Gordon,
I have a side cutter tool that cuts center pins flush with the wood. I cut
the square nuts with this tool making a cut parallel to the sticker wire so
as not to damage the cutting edges. Usually one cut will do but sometimes a
second cut is needed.
