Greetings kind folk,
	I’m hoping that someone out there in cyber land can help me today. I
have the task of thickness trimming on some prehung hammers from S&S. The
hammers came too thick for the vintage grand I’m working on as there is not
sufficient clearance to allow reliable individual hammer movement.
Ordinarily I would do this before hanging hammers but since these are
pre-hung 
. well I’m a bit stuck. Does anyone know of a jig that could be
built that would accommodate trimming with the shanks on? The archives seem
to point to something from Roger Jolly but the posts I read were not
conclusive that one exists. Help?!?
