If there is no pivot screw to tighten and it's a machine swaged or press fit pivot one can try re-hammering the pivot pin.
First get some oil in the joint then try a couple taps with a flat hammer and see if it's tighter.
Place the other side of the pivot down on a solid surface preferably a flat chunk of steel then take two taps and then check, repeat and try again until the fit seems right.
Start with very light hammer taps.

That is how I do most of mine.
As for the sharpening lesson, I just finished my first pair of scissors. Wow, I cannot believe how many burrs were hitting upon closing. I fixed them and sharpened the bevels as in your lesson with ultra fine diamond. Once I could feel a burr I stropped both blades. And checked for burrs...still had a couple, so I re stropped.
I am not sure if I over-sharpened and created too much burring, but I had to strop quite a bit to get the burrs down. After that the scissors are better than new. Cutting at the tips of ^" shears I cut some medium mil-spec webbing without a stumble. Thanks Bill! Worked great. One down and about 20 to go.....20 more opportunities to jack up or learn! I 'll go with learning.
Thanks Again.
