Hello. Sorry for my poor english, but is not my native language.
In my country many leather tools is not available. I have to bring them from the others countries. My old maul broke up and I decided to make himself a new one (16 oz and other 24 oz.) The biggest problem for me is to make the hammer weighs exactly 16 oz. and 24 oz. I'm working on weight by trial and error method with poor outcome. Could you give me the dimensions of the components of your mallets? The most I care to size a steel rod (diameter and length) and brass plates for each of hammers. This will help me a lot. Thanks.
Hi. How to get a finish like this? I would like to get a high contrast. Is it a kind of antique?
