hammer felt separated

[Dean May]

You can also secure the felt by gluing it and tying it with nylon thread. 

 

Cut a piece of thread 20 or so inches long. Tie a loop in the end of your
thread with a short tail of 3-4 inches, and a long tail of a dozen plus
inches. Hold the loop, wrap the long tail around the felt, thread it through
the loop and pull it tight. Continue wrapping the long tail around the
hammer in the opposite direction while holding onto the short tail. When you
run out of thread from making wraps, tie it off with the short tail.

Use tightbond glue,  close the felt with vise grips.  secure the joint by
driving a small screw though the felt and into the molding, or use a wire
twist tie around the hammer.  Screws can be removed at next tuning if you
want.   Bob.
