[CAUT] shaping with loose screws

[Wimblees at aol.com]

I just shaped the hammers, tightened the screws, etc. on an old  upright. I 
shaped the hammers before tightening the flange screws. (They were  pretty 
loose). But is that what most of you do, or he other way around? My  theory is 
that with a "loose" flange, there won't be as much side pressure on  the centers 
as I shape the hammers. I am right with my theory, or will a  tight flange 
hold the butt better, and not put pressure on the center?
