Very low tech tool modification


I bought this mallet (first photo) because of its miniature size which was perfect for fabricating small size items, such as anticlastic jewelry. However, after working with it for a short time I realized that it didn't do the work. Because the mallet had a low weight, its blow had very little force.

Here comes my somewhat primitive, very low tech, solution:

I attached to it (with scotch tape) a 50 gram weight. The result (second photo) is not very elegant but works very well, just right blows. I am satisfied with my modified mallet!
