Centering jacks

Hi,

A while ago, someone was asking about centering jacks in the repetition lever (balancier) window.  I just finished repinning a set of wippens and while I was putting them back on the rail, I noticed a couple I had missed centering (another duty done while repinning).

picture 1:  the off-center jack

picture 2:  the block of wood under the wippen support on the side the jack needs to moved toward

picture 3:  holding the parts in place ready for the hammer tap

picture 4:  the hammer, ready to go

Obviously, this set-up is for parts not attached to the rail--which also made it easier for taking pictures.

Enjoy.
