TracyMoss Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Anyone, know where I can get some more rawhide mauls and heads, new. Tandy did have the ASB mauls but now everything is Poly. I'm a traditionalist and prefer the rawhide ones. I don't want those cheap rawhide mallets with the wood handle, but some rawhide mauls with lathed leather handles.

TracyMoss Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks Luke, the last Tandy guy I spoke with there weren't any more. I would like to find someone who is going to continue to make them, though I will take what I can get for now. Luckily, I bought two extra rawhide heads for my two pounder when I purchased it.

Tracy, Are you looking for the 2 pounders? Let me know and I will search out in Tandy Land for you and see if I can find ya some. If I do, I can let the manager of the store nearest you know where to get them if there are any to be had, I can find em for ya! Then he can get them to you.....

Hello Tracy, did you consider making your own? I've considered it a number of times. It wouldn't be hard. I have a clicker that will cut the rawhide disks. I've got 3 1/2" disks and about 2" disks cutter for the clicker. Then all you will need a machine shop to mill you a brass weight for the top end. Use about 3/8 or 1/2 inch ready rod with a cap welded on the end, the would go through the brass weight on the top end, then pile on as much rawhide as you like, put a disk behind it, put on your nut, tighten it down. Cut a whole bunch of leather disks with the clicker to form a handle, use another washer and nut on the end tighten it down, here you may want to use a nice brass acorn nut of the end. Then go back to the lauthe (spelling) and mill down the handle to fit your hand. Use a farrier rasp as it turns, then sand paper to finish it. wet it down good with water and polish it with saddle soap and a canvas rag to burnish it. DONE!!!!

TracyMoss Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks Guys. Bob, I guess I could, but I don't have the dies or a lathe for that matter. I was hoping to get one already made. One of you posted the link that had the wood handled maul, and I have used those in the past, but once you get a nice leather handled one you can't go back. Thanks, I check another Tandy's to see if they have some available in their warehouse. I should have bought some when they were half off/discontued sale. I saw an old osborne leather handled maul one time and it felt real good in my hand, but it was a no sale item. Also, Bob, if you want to make them, I'll buy it. As if you don't have any thing else to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As if you don't have any thing else to do. I bought the cheap ones too with wooden handles, they're really hard to hold onto... I removed the wood and replaced them with leather, I used the concho cutter stacked em on there and went to the knife make who has a sander to grind it off smooth.

SCOUTER Report post Posted February 28, 2008 I have a vintage Tandy rawhide mallet that is like IRON! Awesome! But, it looks like a strip of rawhide that is rolled up like a "jelly roll". This looks like something that could made quite easily. I guess you would have to make a few for it to be worth while, but that would be a great group project! Count me in!
