Keith,
I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it wasn't really intended to be 
humorous. It's just been occasionally necessary. Most decent 
verticals either have a compensating weight in the rear of 
C-8, or the treble side of the key is scarfed out to remove 
weight. It ain't scraping, Son, it's draw knife work! Big 
chips in the tool case when I leave.
