I find it’s easier for me to have a plan before I start turning or building a project. I still haven’t weighed it yet. Now I’m thinking it might only weigh about 16-18 oz. I just sorta compared it to a bag of gummy bears I “had”. Quote
carr52 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Posted January 31, 2023 Well I weighed the maul today at the market. It comes in at just a couple grams over 16 oz. Quote
Members DaveP Posted February 3, 2023 Members Report Posted February 3, 2023 Very nice! Did you recycle the HDPE? How hard is it compared to nylon or delrin? Quote

It’s holding up really great. I don’t use it for for large stamps. Like my makers mark. I use a 18 oz. dead blow hammer I got at harbor freight for those. No bounce with that. But it works great with the basket weave stamp Quote

I have an ability that I've been told very few folks have . . . I can 3D blueprint something in my head . . . and then refine it as I begin to make it. Worst thing that happens . . . it's sometimes a bit on the big side . . . but that's easily fixed. But as others have said . . . good job. I'm gonna put one on here just as soon as I get it fixed for me. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
Members badhatter1005 Posted April 26 Members Report Posted April 26 Excellent job buddy. The woodworking is great too. I wish all of you guys would start making videos of these things that you're doing to post. I love to see this stuff in action. Quote
