    Dear orchidians and Brian, 

    Can you explain how to make a paper mallet for me. Not living in the
    US and ordering into Malaysia being difficult most times I would like
    to try and make one.  I am sure I can get the paper tape here but
    can't work out how to start the roll and how to attach it to a
    handle. 

    The idea that it won't mark metal like a hard leather mallet will is
    an exciting idea. 

    Another question:  does anyone know how to soften up the surface of
    a hard leather mallet.  The one I have has a sort of varnish finish
    and is hard and in a video I saw someone hammering with a leather
    mallet that looked sort of worn/soft.  Any suggestions?? 

    Sharron in hot Kuala Lumpur packing to fly to cooler Slovakia this
    weekend.
