HAHAHA!

Swedging (or 'swaging' as I normally spell it, it's exactly the same process and it's almost the same pronunciation eg. sway'-gin - that's with a silent G on the end with my accent, or a hard G to finish if you're from Liverpool - from the verb 'swedge' or 'swage' ) is basically stretching the key barrel (tubing) to take out or reduce end play between pillars, or to tighten the barrel on the steel (screw) to take out unwanted wobble.

The tools are either a pair of pliers with highly polished jaws that have smooth semicircular opposing cut outs in either jaw to take the diameter of tubing, or a series of polished shrinking collets in a T-shaped tool, the T part adjusts the collet.

And no wabbits are involved at any stage.
