traveling/traveling/ traveling?

I've tried other methods for hanging/traveling and come back to the travel
first, hang second method. For me it seems to be the most efficient. I added
the Spurlock Hammer Hanging Jig the  mix and eliminated a lot of the
"adjusting before the glue dries" work. It took a few jobs to realize its
potential, but now I wouldn't be without it. I'm experimenting with using it
for vertical hammers. I you or others have used it this way, let me know how
it works.
