Tap them home with a hammer and punch and some epoxy just to be sure i always drill the holes slightly shallow to cut the plugs off flush with the butt.

Sharp bench chisel to cut off flush.
Just used some files to alter the shape of the spur to my liking a bit more.
Oh despair.. the grinding.
Just trimming the worst of it off on the band saw.
Grinding time,
Must have been nearly an hour... i didn't count but it took a while.
Pleased with that, the general effect of the pad is pleasing.
Kept working up through the grits..
