cheap wooden mallet

[engineer one]

recently there was a thread about making wooden mallets.
yesterday i walked through wembley town centre, for the first time in yonks, and decided to call into Wilkinsons, a cheap retailer.

in their diy section i noticed a couple of things which may or may not be of interest.

a complete wooden mallet of the rectangular type for 1.99,
and an axe for 4.99 with allegedly a hickory handle. they also had a number of hammers with handles marked as hickory at similar prices. :?

did not buy anything, since i have too many hammers, mallets and axes now, but thought those who were starting out might get a bargain mallet if nothing else :roll: at least at that price you can see whether you like it, and throw it away without too many tears from the wallet or swmbo

sorry alf for once even i couldn't provide that one. must have had a sense of humour transplant :lol:

but then knowing you, you can make a mallet for less than 1.99,
indeed for many of us, the petrol cost may be more than the value of
the mallet.

You mean, something like this, a 0 GBP finely handcrafted mallet, partially sculptured by my special mallet dog:

Marc, exactly the sort of thing. Or like this one recently posted on WoodNet.

Cheers, Alf

P.S. I see it's a multi-tasking mallet dog and does green plastic as well. :lol:
