Members doubleh Posted August 26, 2022 Members Report Posted August 26, 2022 Great job and I understand the urge to make your own as I do the same. There is a lot of satisfaction in using a tool that was made by yourself. I also enjoy the making. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted August 26, 2022 Members Report Posted August 26, 2022 I'm pretty sure the road to hell is paved with mallets, mauls, and hammers for me. Those look great @Steveage, thanks for taking us along with you. Quote

Thank you for that- it'll save me from having to listen to much chattering brass in the future. use the square tip as you would a scraper too.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

When the host changes policies, or files are moved or deleted, etc. the thread becomes useless. I know, right? I can't count the number of times I've discovered old threads on various forums, with no pictures and dead links.

Members Brokenolmarine Posted November 8, 2022 Members Report Posted November 8, 2022 I enjoyed the thread immensely. I like to make things I need as well. But my constructs lean more to woodwork as I don't weld or have a lathe. The wife saw one on sale and commented it wasn't that expensive. I pulled up several pictures of turners corners and pointed to the tool boards beside the lathes. The lathe is just the tip of that iceberg.... With my other hobbies, I'm not falling down that well. Great job, a good maul makes all the difference. Quote

I'm constantly impressed by what folks can do with a lathe. I find myself starting conversations about leather off like the quote A LOT! "So you just cut stuff out and sew it together?" "Well stitch actually, it'll be easier if I just explain the whole process..." And by the time I get done they no longer care Quote
Members doubleh Posted November 8, 2022 Members Report Posted November 8, 2022 Excellent work and I understand the urge to make your own tools as I do it regularly. I have made a couple of non-marring hammers but never a maul. Same principal, little different shape. I prefer a mallet over a maul though. Quote
