    VERY nice, Pat. Even though you don't have a hammer handpiece
    (mine's flexshaft, not air), it probably wouldn't have done you much
    good anyway. Hammer and punch is probably the best way to do the job
    in stainless, anyway. Even WITH a handpiece, I probably would have
    done what you did. Again, very nice piece..
