	No, the tapers aren't quite right on the hammer in 
	question.  Before the hammer was tuned up, the dies
	held fine.  After tuning (it now smacks like a sumbitch)
	the dies woggle loose and being the tunnel vision sort
	I am a times, I didn't hear the hammer speaking to me.
	Next thing I know there's a die coming up on my kisser.
	The second time it went right to the floor.  Needless to
	say, I looked around the shop to see if anyone was watching.
	I lucked out and looked stupid as a brick only to myself.
