Hi JD
  Beautiful work. Great Pictures.  Well  done!

I've cracked it today.  Yesterday I spent boring out the  butts and 
fitting the new hammers and today I have made the necessary  repairs 
to the rail.  I'll do the drilling later in the week when I  have 
received some new mini-chucks from America (very cheap on eBay and  
they look ideal).

Here's the write-up of the job so far with  pictures:
