pins, peening?
can someone explain to me how these pins work that hold these knives together. also what is peening? are they just pins that are bashed with a hammer are thats how they get the rounded top? if so how do u do this without damaging the knife? im definitely a newbie to this so sorry if i sound like a complete fool. i'm thinking buying a mikov kit but i want to know what i'm getting myself into before i drop 60 bucks.

what are the pins made out of? brass, copper?
also, can someone give me a general idea of what else is involved in making a bolster release knife rather than a picklock? and, what are other, if any, release mechanisms besides the moving bolster? i downloaded the tutorial but since it is a picklock it doesn't go into any detail as to how to how any release mechanism is assembled or how it functions. thanks for your help.

Thanks Razor
I was just thinking that maybe you could use the holes in the liner as a kinda template to get your peening just right, then take it out and thread it thru your handle material and the liner from the other side, then maybe you could cut it off flush with a dremmel. you could then glue or solder the pin onto the liner do that the inside was flush.but if you can do it both sides that would be fine
