OK GUYS - talk about a "better mouse trap" - Here's what I propose:

I'm going to combine thoughts from several of ya and make the ULTIMATE-PIN

1. SDR-Hammer = Z-bend the T-Pin

2. Rajul = Position pin to press wood against the grain

3. CafeenMan = Use disks on the pin (except I'm going to use rubber by hole punching a tire inner tube)

HEY! -- I"M SERIOUS HERE!

This will hold the wood without putting indentations in it.

I'll call it the " TZ- Pin with a patch"

4. Minnflyer = Ya wanna go in with me on this one for the big bucks? ( Guess I should be asking everyone who contributed.)

Ya'll - Just send cash and I'll start the ball ( ahem pins) rolling. (Smiling, as I leave work, knowing I'm going to be a rich man)
