Do any of you guys coming possibly have 2 long rivets for the rear trunnion you could sell me? I've got a project in the closet I completely forgot about, and probably don't have time to order / receive them by Sunday.
I have only 1 long rivet and I need it for my kit, I have all the other sizes that you dont need of course. Sorry.

Clay and all,
I will need help with something at the party. I have a seriously stuck oversized pin that won't come back out. I got it in about 75% and then it stopped. It picked up some shavings on the edges and dug in (I can see them in the pin hole). I've been able to get it back out to about 40%. I definitely need another pair of eyes to look at this because it just won't come out. I've tried lubricating oil and freezing overnight. I don't want to really crank down on it with the press without looking at every possibility first. The other option would be to drill it out but that would be my last resort.

I would try some heat on the front trunnion, opposite the side you have the pin sticking out of. I would setup the thing in your press, pin down obviously, get everything ready to go, and pour the heat to it with some pressure on it. I think this alone will get it.
If not, once you get it loaded up as much as you feel comfortable with, take a small hammer and smack the frame of your press. This will sometimes help to get things moving along sometimes.
worst case, a hole drilled right through the middle of the stuck pin, about 50% of the OD of the pin should be more than enough relief to get it out.

Should we have a boss-bludgeoning party at 0700?
No problem,I have a couple long rivets I can bring you.
Can you add a last minute addition?: I am wanting to attend. I have an underfolder flat to bend and an 80% to drill with the jig if possible.
I have experience with building but not so much with these fancy tools. Would be more than happy to help in any way I can. I will be able to bring drill bits but my press is too large to transport in my car.
