David, I like it! Just to clarify... after you make all the U/D measures, you remove the stack and put each key on the Front Weight scale jig and correct the front weight by the amount your off by the balance weight... so if a key has a BW of 35 and you want it to be 38 you would remove 3 grams of Front Weight by removing lead... It's a good method because you can work the lead pattern with the key off the frame. David >I weigh off with the stack on, strike weights smoothed, the action >regulated and lubricated.
