- This week’s Leather Tip Tuesday video comes from a question asked by Brian.
Brian asked, “Joe, I have never used a maul for my tooling. I would like to move up to using a maul but wonder what would be a good size to start with?”
This video looks at the pros and cons to different size mauls and their applications.

Thanks for the tip
2 lbs maul! You must be the hulk!
If you’re making something for the dark side you may want to use a…..Darth Maul…..
Random question time; I tried your packing tape trick on the flesh side on my first project, and it worked great! Only issue was that when I was removing the tape, it pulled up a lot of the fibers and created a very rough back, like rough-out leather with a much longer nap. Is that normal? Is the tape I used too strong? Or maybe it was because I left it on there too long (It took me about 6 days to finish)?
Thank you so much for doing what you do, as a new leatherworker your channel is SO valuable to me!
I have 12,14,16 and 20oz tapered mauls. Have I overdone it? Yes. Do I regret it? A little. 14 for beveling and 20 for setting flower centers usually. Something I have to remind myself of is when striking the tool is focus on top of the tool to eliminate bounce off. I think with a mallet there is more striking surface and less of an issue.
