Individual variances are most often in the most highly levered = places, like the knuckle, where very small variations in either height = or placement can affect the leverage significantly." This is really good advise, thank you. >Did you get my earlier message about scooting hammer flanges?=20 Yes. . . but unfortunately I am dealing with the shaped-rail type, hence = the multitude of irregularities. >Isaac also mentioned papering shank flanges forward/backward slightly.=20 I tried this, and it seemed to not to been extremly effective, but then = again I may have been going at the problem incorrectly; I'll need to try = it again. I think that what may complicate the matter of shimming the = shank flange higher (front side) or lower (rear side) is that by doing = so you slightly change the location of the knuckle. I put a straight = edge on the very front edge of the flange and noticed that there was = really a straight line anywhere, but this could simply mean that the = wood surrounding the centerpin is not equal. Maybe instead I could shim = the shank flange to change the knuckle position, then shim the wippen = flange if there are any irregularities in the spread.
