2" dia. Bossing Mallet, Designed by Ron Fournier.
Use with a shot / sand bag to shape metal ~ the handle won't strike the edge of your work piece!
Deep reach makes forming deep bowl shapes quick and easy.
Mallets are made of non-marring plastic for long life, with sturdy hickory handles.
Weight: 11.7 oz, Small Radius: 1/2", Large Radius: 2-1/4", Overall head length 7"
This Bossing Mallet is ideal for use with aluminum or steel, and is considered a "medium duty" mallet.
After years of frustration with the mallets commonly available, (often made for other trades) Ron decided to have custom metal shaping Bossing Mallets made to his design and specifications.
These mallets have unique radii and an extra deep "reach" measured between the face of the mallet and the handle. This deep reach makes forming bowl shapes quick and easy.

What do you do if you have a car with a fender that is damaged beyond repair, or missing? Ron shows how to use the opposite fender to design a buck, pointing out the features required to make a new fender that perfectly mirrors the model. You will see him analyze a '36 Ford fender, determine the number of pieces to make it from, and exactly where to place the seams to accommodate the intricate details, including the running board bulge and the rolled edge of the wheel opening.
A fascinating, in-depth look at the start-to-finish construction of a challenging project!
