> David, > > Just checked their website, and no decent pics of the jig. But it's pretty easy to describe. Keep in mind that, since they only have one model of grand in production, they didn't need to make it easily adjustable. The stack is hung on the wall with hammers hanging down - there's just a couple of pins, angled slightly upward, that go through the screw holes in the brackets. gravity and friction seem to keep it from moving out of position, but you could use screws if you're nervous. Straight edges are mounted to contact the hammers at the same points that Spurlock's does: inside tail and outside shoulder. In this case, over the tail and under the shoulder. I think the shoulder straight edge was one continuous piece, but I don't remember whether the shoulder straight edge was continuous or sectioned. At any rate, as others have pointed out, for after-market replacement we should be setting hammer position by ear, one section at a time, at least in th etop two wections. The whole rig is mounted to the wall at a comfortable standing height, with a shallow table underneath for glue and tools. And that's all there is to it. I imagine that if you didn't have the wall space, you could make something that would sit on your workbench at the same height. That's the direction I'm headed, since wall space is at a premium in my shop also. The other variation I'm considering is to start ordering my hammers with no tail shaping or coving, and move the tail straight edge to the outside, so that in this hanging jig both straight edges would be underneath the hammer.
