  Looks real nice JD. However, won't moving the butts and wips down the rail now cause key capstan/wippen heel misalignment?

    I've cracked it today.  Yesterday I spent boring out the butts and 
    fitting the new hammers and today I have made the necessary repairs 
    to the rail.  I'll do the drilling later in the week when I have 
    received some new mini-chucks from America (very cheap on eBay and 
    they look ideal).

    Here's the write-up of the job so far with pictures:
