Yes, that's when it happened, and I went with tapered reaming. 
Boring my own since, I've been satisfied with the reaming 
process and have seen no reason to go back.

How do you knurl each shank as, or just before, you glue the 
hammer on? After traveling and spacing the set, are you then 
removing each shank to knurl, then reinstalling it to hang the 
hammer?
