Terry,
I would say that the best way is still the way that the old masters did =
the job,
with a sand paddle. This said, I had to find another way, as the =
strength it took to do it that way was very tiresom for me.
After trying Dremel tools Fordam belt sander and electric knife and =
finding they always caused mistakes in my hands, I developed a system =
that uses shoe-shine style shaping of the hammers.
Besides the tool listed on my page one needs to make several paddles =
that you can attach various grits of sand paper to in strips 12 inches =
long and 3/8 or 1/2 inches wide 2 inches and 3 inches wide. The widest =
are used on the straight 90% hammers and the 3/8 and 1/2 on the angled =
hammers.
Also  the grits that I use are from 80 to 320 so that you can take the =
felt off quickly with the rough and finish with the fine.
Two other tools that are used in the voicing process are my string level =
for work on grands and the hammer fitting block for fine mating of =
hammer to string followed  by a light 320 fileing.=20
As I do all my needeling from the side, fileing after voicing is not =
needed.
