You Call That A Mallet ?

Nice.

How heavy is that thing? Looks like it would be a workout.

Y’know I’ve never weighed it, but it’s suprizingly light given it’s size.
I have an eight pound sledge that “feels” lighter..

I need two.

One to hang on to when they take the other one I’d be carrying around the NYC subway system with me at all times.

What a mallet!
Now I will await you post a picture of the matching chisel…

That’s outstanding! My father said there was a saying in the old Army Air Corps, “Don’t force it, use a bigger hammer.”

That mallet flattens mere mallets.

Looks more like a Sledg-O-Matic to me.

Great honking mallet!! What will it be used for??
Love the mental image from Dumbo of those guys putting up the tents with the elephants pulling on the ropes in the driving rain. Have to watch Dumbo again with the kids this weekend.

Realy Scott it’s an ornament although I have tuned in some fence posts with it..
Mads wondered about a chisel..

The big one, and yes, I know there are bigger..is a Canadian Classic, 2” blade, the handle was a branch from a neighbours Mountain Ash. the gouge is a 2” Buck Brothers and the corner chisel was made for me by a retired farmere from a section of bed rail1 and a half inch sides. I added the Walnut “infil”
(and answering another thread..theres a perfect use for the boxwood rule ! ;-}
But I do seem to have a “thing” about large tools..

Glen, I believe that they call those Commanders and that ones a beaut or should I say brute. They are use in log and in post and beam construction to persuade beams and such into position.
