HAMMER HANGING JIG, from spurlock

[David Ilvedson]

plies sost?   tush pen?   You've been in Norway too long...;-]

I'm assuming you mean you mark the strike point of the old and new hammers at the end of each section?   What I like about Bill's is the block against the shoulders...you can push up against it when aligning the hammers...why couldn't you just extend Bill's jig to cover the entire action...I wonder?   Long block like you have for the tails to rest on.   a piece from one end to other for aligning the tails ala Bill's jig and a long adjustable piece higher up for the shoulders to align next to...maybe the set up would be time consuming especially when the old hammers to match a straight line?...musings

Does seem like a piece of white string against white hammers would make it a bit hard to see the space?   No problems though?
