I do get the idea. It seems to me it takes a lot more time, that's all. You have to weigh the hammers and then the shanks separately and then play around with trying to match them up. In the end, some hammer mass alteration will be required anyway for those that you can't match to get the weight you want. Doing it the way I suggest (and the way I do it) I rarely have to alter more than about 1/3 of the hammers and often less to get a smooth curve. Just seems like a waste of time.

Just dry fit the hammers to the shanks right after you've tapered them with the table saw ... I don't think you get the idea. Mating a shank's SW with a hammer weight will require less hammer mass alteration to achieve a smooth SW curve. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
