Who missed the point? Obviously you did.. for the third time in a row. Look Dale... I dont want to provoke you or anything... but all I said is that if your only goal is to make a heavier hammer <<lighter>> and dont care about the other things that happen when either capstan or knuckle position are altered... then it doesnt matter what you do... but that said... other things do occur and the total result is significantly different in either case... so leverage is not just leverage. > Both items are going to reduce blow distance, increase dip, reduce > friction & allow for more hammer weight to be carried which is the > point of the original post.

This is very unclear, at least to me. I dont know how to state that more clearly. Are you really trying to say that there is absolutly no signficant differnce created in an actions touch when either the capstan or the knuckle is moved... as long as the total <<leverage>> is maintained ?? > > > No offense taken Dale... but it seems like you missed the point > :) IMHO > > *>> Really?* yes, but I dont want to get all confrontational about things. > Dale > > > > Cheers > RicB > > RicB
