In process of making patch box catch not sure how much of the posts do you leave above the lid to peen down .Do you just hold it in a vice to do it or is there a better way
Thank you

I hold the post in a vice on the bottom side of the lid and peen the top of the post into a slight counter sunk hole on the top of the lid, dress of the excess with a light touch.
