Matthew, You can feel the birdseye with the pin in your fingers.Once I find the center of the hole I use the popular inserter-extracter tool to push the pin into the birdseye then take care to keep the other bushing in line with the pin as I SLOWLY push the pin through. Clip with a good set of flush cutters and done.I choose not to file the cut end but others may advise different. . Best wishes, Tom Driscoll p.s. no vicegrips IMHO ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Todd To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 7:45 PM Subject: Center Pin What is the best way to hold a center pin while you get it started to push it through the hole?
