hello,
I have collected some older stanley hand planes. Some on ebay and some were given to me. I have noticed that some of them have loose handle on the lateral adjusters and some are tighter. The loose ones seem ok but I was wondering if I can tighten them up a bit. I have noticed unfortunately that one is loose and does still work but I can lift it up and off. Is it a matter of carefully peening it. I actually have never done this before but I am sure I could figure it out. In the case of the one that can be lifted off, would that protruding pin be too short now? If so I am not sure what to use, would a rivet sticking up through, and peening it do the trick.
thanks Tim
