its not about being strong, its about technique. Have you watched any videos on how to strike it on the ground?
I've just had a look at a couple of videos thanks very much for the suggestion, I understand what you're trying to say no doubt knowing the right technique which works for you and how to do it properly is very important, I've had go at the Hans On Method and the rubber band method, it might well be partly me struggling to interpret the written instuctions or my lack of dexterity/fine motor skills if you know what I mean. It's hard to explain but,I think that the problem is at least as much down to not having the force in my hands as much as anything I know that I've never been particularly good with that sort of thing, when I'm hammering or sawing for example I find I have trouble with applying the force and getting the accuracy at the same time.
At any rate I don't have a spare inner part in fact woing to the size of my collection then I don't really have any useable spares for anything
. If I have to experiment with different techniques next time that's fair do's but, since this little fella's been with me for as long as I can remember and has already been rather scratched and bruised by the last attempt to tighten his joints up I'd rather he's fixed up by someone who knows what they're doing so I don't accidentally do any damage to him which I regret, guess I feel that I owe it to my little friend to get him fixed up right
