MarshalWill Report post Posted January 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I just knock them over all the time, so I don't stand them up. Edited January 26 by Harry Marinakis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, I understand that. I don't stand mine up either but some people do so they don't roll off the work bench. Then that's not an issue. Enjoy that fine maul you made.

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

AndrewWR Report post Posted January 30 Loving the way the curves intersect the grid to produce such eyecatching patterns. With you on the not standing it on end issue too. I usually use one of my shot filled weight bags to plonk it on. It stay where I leave it then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
