LBD, thanks. No scholar here either, I do have a printout of the scale for reference. And yes the handles will take a beating.
Petey, thanks. I will put my mark on there somewhere, maybe the end of the handle.
OldTool, thanks. Yes, a good grip is what I was shooting for.
Ron, thanks. One can never have enough mallets around the shop. This would also make a nice meat tenderizer in the kitchen, just need to add some crosshatches on the ends.
