Contributing Member fredk Posted January 25, 2024 Contributing Member Report Posted January 25, 2024 Very, very nice But, replace that lock nut with an acorn nut. It would look so much better Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Members Hags Posted January 26, 2024 Members Report Posted January 26, 2024 (edited) I want a lathe!!!! very nice. Edited January 26, 2024 by Hags Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
Members MarshalWill Posted January 26, 2024 Members Report Posted January 26, 2024 Beautiful work on that handle. Very attractive as well as functional. As an alternative to putting an acorn nut on the head end, just recess the nylock nut so you can stand the maul on its end if you wish. I did that with one I made. Not a maul but a mallet. Still it's nice to not have anything sticking out up there. Quote

I turned my wood mauls with a flat top. But I just knock them over all the time, so I don't stand them up. Edited January 26, 2024 by Harry Marinakis Quote

Then that's not an issue. Enjoy that fine maul you made. Quote
Members MarshalWill Posted January 26, 2024 Members Report Posted January 26, 2024 That UHMW is great stuff. That's what I use on mine. Quote

Well, for appearances sake could you glue a black plastic 'dome nut' cover on?
