electrathon Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Most of the mentions here mention 16 or 20oz mauls, I have a 16oz rubber hammer and a cheap wooden hammer (not sure on weight but very light). I find that using the 16 oz for tooling even though it's good and a lot quieter than the wooden one, my arm aches after about 5 minutes and I have to keep putting it down. Yes I must be a weakling or something. but it just seems too heavy for me. Don't you all have this problem? Rest your Elbow on the table and let the mallet fall rather than swinging it. Quote

Stamping on the dead I've been wanting a bigger stone and that was a excellent suggestion. Quote
