[CAUT] Shank to Hammer weight spreadsheet

[David Love]

I do get the idea.  It seems to me it takes a lot more time, that's all.
You have to weigh the hammers and then the shanks separately and then play
around with trying to match them up.  In the end, some hammer mass
alteration will be required anyway for those that you can't match to get the
weight you want.  Doing it the way I suggest (and the way I do it) I rarely
have to alter more than about 1/3 of the hammers and often less to get a
smooth curve.  Just seems like a waste of time.

  It takes too long.  Just dry fit the hammers to the shanks

right after you've tapered them with the table saw ...

 

I don't think you get the idea. Mating a shank's SW with a

hammer weight will require less hammer mass alteration

to achieve a smooth SW curve.
