Brokenolmarine Report post Posted May 22, 2022 I am planning on making a nice Gunbelt for myself, with a single action holster for my Unberti Birdshead 357, belt loops, and a Sheath for a knife. I knew that I needed a couple punches to make it look right and ordered good ones, a 1/2" and 1-1/2" CS Osborne pair from Springfield Leather. They came in a couple weeks ago and I tried them a couple times on scrap leather. Nice clean cuts, but they took a number of whacks with the mallet and maul I have. Too light. I looked hard but couldn't find the Nylon 2 pounder in stock anywhere except Barry King... but, Amazon had the BK 24 ounce maul, which is what I prefer, and I ordered that. Double the weight of my current mallet. Came in yesterday. VERY nice. That'll do, Donkey, That'll do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hags Report post Posted May 23, 2022 Nice addition! I use an approximately 40 oz wooden maul I bought at an antique store for $10. Must be maple or something, works very well. I have lusted for a 48 oz BK for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
