    I have an upcoming square grand repair job with several broken hammer parts.

    Does anyone have square grand parts or know of a source?

    There is a cat in vIRGINIA that works on squares. I know of someone in Conway SC who may have spare parts for grands. Do you have a brand name 
    serial number, and some pictures of parts you need ?

    Is there someone on this list or in PTG who is doing 3D printing?  Perhaps we could get 3D printed square grand parts.  They wouldn't be perfect, but they would work for at least the #1 and #88 hammers that are usually sacrificed for mid-range broken parts.

    Mark Purney (aka Supply88) has been making 3D printed Young Chang action brackets. Schaff has some 3D printed parts.
    I suggest you contact Abel regarding having them fabricate replacement parts from your samples.

    Chris Chernobieff has the capacity to make square grand parts on an as needed basis (I hope he doesn't mind me suggesting this).
