    That a good one, esp for me right now, as I don't feel so good....the humor 50 years ago was great-no cursing, etc. 3 Stooges, Bob Hope, Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, and many other. Just all class.

    This very thing has happened to me more than once. My BF is accustomed to getting the spares.

If I do I grab my 22oz framing hammer :-)
    Yeah, there is a point of diminishing returns. Already have two round mallets, one 12, other 18 oz. I suppose with the next one, 24 oz would be good-if the wood comes out close to that.

    At the very least, I was expecting wafts of wisdom delivered through wisps of aromatic smoke.

    The reality is not that far off the mark, actually.
