[Public-List] Tiller Head - I'm stuck!

[Glennb]

hi Jeff,  Did you heat the bolt to red hot? Iam surprised it didn't back out of the bronze shaft. 

Any chance the other end is peened...hammered into a mushroom shape to prevent extraction?

BTW, your rebuild photos on line are fantastic.  great wood working and varnish!
