I did. Yours turned out great. I stopped and bought a freeze plug at autozone that should slide in once I thin the walls down a bit. But after seeing the rounded end I'm thinkin I'll go that route.

Agree with Estwing being the "best all around" hammer. I also have a Stilleto framing hammer that I love, but ONLY use it driving nails. If I have to pull nails I grab a prybar or my estwing.

I appreciate the help! Looks like an extremely tight tolerance to slide the cap into.
