reducing hammer weight

[William Monroe]

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the input.  That is basically what I'm doing, but I don't want to 
add weight to balance things out.  I see from your photo (thanks) that you 
drill in the tail of the molding.  Just curious why this is your preference.

Thanks,
William R. Monroe
