	Ain't that the truth.  There's a 25# Murray in Marshall's
	shop (they are great hammers, by the way).  It was gone a
	bit sickly when we decided to tune it up a bit.  I forged
	new clevices for the treadle link and machined up a super
	tight nylon bushing.  Marshall installed a brake and then
	adjusted the gibbs.  What a difference!  That hammer will
	smack like a bitch now and you can easily delivers single
	and precise blows.  It is effort very well spent.
