Jigmaster 500 joins the double-dog family (from Irish Jigger)

I'm digging up gold here!

I was wondering how do you guys support the bridge or retain the new post when peening it?  It seems it would push through. And if I put something against the other end, won't it peen over the other end?

I'll find an old sideplate I don't care about to try my hand at Dremel work.

Sorry for the late reply Rancanfish, I just saw this. With the few posts I have installed, I drill a hole near the corner of a piece of flat steel plate, the same diameter of the post and slightly deeper than the post height to support the post and stop it from deforming. Tap the tight fitting post into place on the bridge then put the post in the hole and, with the bridge held flat on the steel plate, peen the back of the post. The end/top of the post gets beveled slightly in the base of the hole and can be flattened with a file. I use the corner of the piece of plate to help get access to the dog post and/or spring post locations. Sorry I don't have any photos to show how I have done it - next time.

P.S. I got the idea from this thread as well

Thank you.

Where did you get the post for the spring to double dog the jigmaster and has anyone tried to do a penn 505.
