Key Leveling

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi Terry,
Carl Meyer's address is
2107 El Capitan Ave
Santa Clara Ca 95050
Ph 408 248 8594
I am sure he still makes the key leveling device.
He also has a nifty way with an electric carving knife to shape hammers.
Carl is on the list and most likely will contact you and explain the tools
he has.
The key leveling tool comes with a vidio that shows how to use it.
The small pieces of the tool were hard to keep track of, so I made a case
for the tool and other parts out of 2" PVC pipe and capped one end shut and
used a screw end cap on the other end. Keeps everything where they can be
found LOL
