Hi everybody,

    I'm trying to make my way through Alan Revere's Professional
    Goldsmithing book. In the book he refers to a "bounceless mallet"
    and provides a picture. He says to use the bounceless mallet to
    forge metal. I've always used regular rawhide (not shot filled)
    mallets for this purpose. The only shot filled mallets I've found
    locally are big rubber coated whompers. Googling bounceless mallets
    gets me the same result (and lots of golf clubs). These big mallets
    don't look like what's in the book. Does anyone know where the
    specific mallets he refers to can be sourced? 

Thank you,
Nora
