Pray, tell me Joe, what is this olde finger nail test you mentioned? Sounds like some sort of resiliency test where the groove created will rebound. Here's scratching my head, instead! Regards Alan Forsyth Alan, You have it! (kudos!) If you put a dent in the hammer and the dent stays there = most resiliency is gone and is the source of your tonal problem. Or.......If you can't put a "dent" in it. Or.........if you break your finger nail! .......Well, you've got the picture.<G> Stop scratching and get some Selsun Blue! [G] hehe Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
