slipjoint ???

[22H2]

I'm building my first slipjoint and I was wondering if the blade and spring are the same thickness?

thanks

Yes, unless you use washers on the blade. Most don't. Some people sand a very slight taper on the front of the spring. just .001"-.002" or so.

thanks Don, Do you peen the center pin?

[Don Robinson]

No, it's always under tension, so a drop of super glue on the outside end is all it needs, especially if you use fragile scale material.

You're quite welcome.

thanks for the help,
