Default mallets

Your mallet needs to have a good bit of mass to be effective.
Here is a link to a thread on this site from a while back:
http://allmetalshaping.com/showthrea...hlight=mallets

You may be interested in the TuckPuck® for shrinking and stretching. You can go to YouTube and view the 4 part instructional video which may give you some new information. I need to put up a current video because I have found that solid mounting of the TuckPuck® is necessary to be effective and that a heavy mallet is also needed. The website is in my signature below.

Dan: I am glad that you like it. They are a bit labor intensive to build.

My advice is dont use plastic hammers, steel hammers are best if you are working on steel, wooden mallets for aluminium. You really only need a few tools to get started.
