<DIV>what a great idea. I never thought of a long fire lighter. I
have just used the bic of equal and then cleaned it up if marked with some steel
wool or sand paper. Thanks for the tip. Paul T. Williams RPT <A

experiment<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT id=role_document face=Arial

<DIV>Someone asked if I could do an experiment of my burning technique to
see if the hammer was moving or the shank. I've got a box full of old
Steinway S hammers glued to shanks, (They are not genuine Steinway parts),
on which I did the experiment. I scribed a line across the shank and the
hammer, and using my Weller heat gun, heated the hammer, and bent it off
center, the way I normally burn a hammer. Guess what. The hammer did
not move. The shank turned. So all this time I thought I was loosening
the glue joint, when I was in fact, I bening the wood.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I said, I heat the shank at the hammer. The question I have is,
where do you guys heat the shank? How far from the hammer?</DIV>
