Been working on making myself a maul today. It weighs in at just over 18 ounces. Should be right at 18 once I shape the stacked leather handle. PERFECT!
I also build folk instruments, so I know where you're both coming from. That's part of the stuff I'm moving out so my room can be a dedicated leather shop, and not have to work around the other tools.
