Am I crazy? (e-bay auction)

They are also known as a smasher on the other side of the pond. I have even heard them called pompey's. They are just the handiest thing. Makers of English saddles use them to assist in the shaping of the panel (padding for the horse) by smashing the 7 colours of crap out of the stuffing. Collar makers do likewise. They can be picked up and because of the shape they can get into all sorts of nooks and crannies for burnishing. Mine has had a piece of the small domed end knocked off to form a flat surface on the end. Like Bruce said they will find a way to roll off the bench.

I made mine out of an old door knob i bought off eBay for about 3 dollars. Actually that was for 2 door knobs. eBay is getting ridiculous. You can't get good deals anymore because some buyers are bidding way over what something is worth. A couple of years ago they had a set of "vintage" bridle rosettes for sale. You can buy them from Weavers or I also find a web site that sold them for about $25. This set went for $68!
