Hammer tails

[Robert B Edwardsen]

I usually do my own tail shaping with 80 grit paper, leave it at that level
of roughness and have not had any problem with checking.  I also replace the
backcheck leather so that the tail is going against the when it checks.  I
think this helps to hold the hammer in check.

I also like the idea of listing ones' University association with posts.
