Re: Lose rings

I don't believe this has been mentioned yet, but here's what I do:

Take a black garbage bag. Cut one sheet so it will be slightly larger than the tenon/ring area and slip the ring over the tenon, basically pinching the sheet between the tenon and ring. If it's still loose, cut another sheet and test with two sheets inserted. In my experience, no more than two are usually needed to get a nice, snug fit. I then GENTLY tap the ring down with a rawhide mallet to tighten (do this on a softer surface) and take a fresh razor blade and carefully cut the access from the inner and outer parts of the tenon ring.

Done!

Hasn't failed me yet. By the way, this "method" is pretty much exactly what Bob B. and Bob Bernardo mentioned above, except the black color of the garbage bag makes it easier to hide any material that isn't cut 100% cleanly from the tenon ring.
