You bore the holes... then take off some felt.... and then somehow the hole has "moved" down the tails ?? Or are you saying you take off felt first, then bore to the correct distance... that would give shorter tails I suppose... but why do it that way ? I never take of anything from the top of the hammer when filing them down. I just pull off the shoulders makeing more of a pointed crown. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
