Ralph,
i dont know if i have posted these are not?
no on the bowling pins, most are made from old
boards bought at farm auctions, the scrap wood piles.
untill other people caught on i was buying piles of wood
for a buck, old fence post make good mallets heads(round)
then some of the other 2-3" thick post make good slappers,
the paint job and the name "el cheapo" are because a
friend thought i had paid money for all those slappers.
metal slappers are in a drawer along with dollies and etc.
keeps them a little out of the moisture.

hopefully the pics will attach ok?

take care!

Terry,
Thanks for the pics. Those wood slappers give me some new ideas for a couple parts I need to make. I see Jacin is drooling over them too. Probably trying to figure out how to make them work in his new pullmax. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif"%20alt="[/img]
