If you are using the small nails wih a pre-formed head, it's easy- The head goes on the outside of your scales. Put the pin through and cut off all but about 1/16". File the end flat. Place the head on an anvil, vise, anthing metal and solid. Tap the cut side LIGHTLY with a SMALL hammer. A tack hammer will work, but is rally too large. Tap around the edges of the pin, and in the center. The idea is to swell the end into a head without bending the shaft. Once the pin is peened tight, file the inside heads flush.
If you are using plain wire or pin stock, do the above twice-but leave the head on the outside.

Actually, I don't. It's easier to just peen both sides, to me.
