Hello all, first, thanks again to all those who contribute here on a regular basis-I find this list an invaluable resource. When replacing grand hammers (retaining existing shanks) should I prep the hammer/ shank joint in any way prior to using my grand hammer press? My bible (Reblitz) doesn't mention any need. I ask because when I use the press, it leaves a dimple in the top of the shank and seems to slightly swell it as well. I'm able to reshape the top by knurling with pliers, but I wonder if I could be doing it better. Thanks in advance for any advice, Gary Hodge, PTG, assoc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
