Sylvia Report post Posted May 24, 2012 Some of you saw the thread on Mauls and Mallets recently. I ended up purchasing my Barry King and I LOVE it. In the process of searching for something I could afford and use without much trouble I found a small company from Texas called W rising. http://www.wrising.com.'>http://www.wrising.com. It was finding them that raised most of my questions about rawhide, nylon, poly headed mallets and mauls. Anyway after I ordered my BK maul... I went ahead and bought a simple 11oz mallet from Wrising.com and for good measure I got a craftool 3D wolf track stamp. I must lead a charmed or blessed life... it is the only explanation. This week alone I've received 2 surprise gifts from different leather vendors, which they included in my orders. And an anonymous person surprised me by paying for my membership at Jamplay for a year. ($139) Anyway, I thought I would share what arrived today. Not only did I get my 11oz mallet and 3D stamp... but they included the cutest little 2oz mallet (a $5 value) as a gift. I know most of you would go "Huh? She's excited about a itty bitty mallet?" To that I say, "Yep"... and I'll use it too when I get back to some wire jewelry making. So if you are struggling under the limitations of a tight budget but want something better than your wooden thumb smasher mallet and can't afford an Al Stohlman or Barry King... or Bearman Maul... I recommend the folks at http://www.wrising.com They are running a special right now too! Check them out and be sure to say "Sylvia" sent you. Here's a picture of my goodies I got this week including my two gifts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted May 24, 2012 Nice Sylvia, and aren't vendors like that a pleasure to do business with? Your poly looks almost exactly like the one my friend is letting me use. I think the free mallet is adorable and of course you can use. Yeah seems to me everyone runs their sales at the end of the month :-( But since I have that mallet I don't care. I'm glad you got you some nice stuff. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sylvia Report post Posted May 24, 2012 Ok I bought a rawhide maul from them and told them you send me. Do I win a prize? I think great customer service and decent pricing is prize enough. I get nothing from this except knowing that you get a great deal and they can get some new customers. I'm still eyeballing that $49.99 3lb maul. lol Nice Sylvia, and aren't vendors like that a pleasure to do business with? Your poly looks almost exactly like the one my friend is letting me use. I think the free mallet is adorable and of course you can use. Yeah seems to me everyone runs their sales at the end of the month :-( But since I have that mallet I don't care. I'm glad you got you some nice stuff. Cheryl Cheryl: I have the philosophy of ask for layaway when ever I can. Or at least ask to put one aside and get the sale price when the check comes. I figure all they can do is say "No." Syl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
