Hi Mike,
I made some lead mallets last year, and found them clumsy to use- too heavy
for the short, quick swing.
I then asked a mate to turn some mild steel heads 75mm long, tapering from
35mm - 50mm diameter with a 15mm hole in the centre for the handle. They are
excellent, and if you model them on the Tiranti examples suggested by Tony,
you can make them cheaply. Of course buying them is more convenient, but
tools you make yourself are easy to customise to suit yourself.
Regards,
Simon
