Staking and grease. Both are ideas I plan to use. I admit to avoiding considering staking because, frankly, I'd like to stand right next to an experienced smith or equivalent in experience and learn the process, the proper, the shortcuts, if any, and the dangers.

Whereas oiling and greasing seem on its face to be a 'pay attention to the visual cues" kinda activity. I am learning by regular disassembly and examination with my jewelers glasses to see where wear occurs and to put a touch of oil or grease on same. I have a nice one (1) pound can of OD Military gun grease that I use that will be around for my great, great grandchildren, if they don't loose it or the law eliminates the need. Not funny!
