clean out mortises, as recommended by Bill Spurlock, so I'll give
that a try.

Yes, right. Bill's article was where I got the idea, too. <br>
<br>
I think I might work out (on a piece of wood scrap?) exactly
what size mortise will work with the .137 pins plus your
thinnest bushing cloth, and make up a file to fit that. Maybe
if you ground off the ridges for about 1/3" on one of them,
and beveled the end somewhat you could use the other the other
file to enlarge the mortise (one side, then turned to the
other side) so you wouldn't have to bash your way in. <br>
