I do too.

when sewing purses, the "whack" works just fine with a hammer with some batting on the head of it. makes for nice flat seams that are thick........jacie

Thanks for your link, nver could fiqure it out but this link sure helped. :thumbup:

yep that's a "no bounce" hammer from the hardware store

Do both!

I bought one last year, but have yet to use it.

That's what I do too... Due to arthritis and tendon problems, I don't think I would even be able to whack anything with a hammer anymore... :shock:

What a great idea. I use the flat end of a meat tenderizer.

Yup, I use my DH's big rubber mallet, with clean plastic wrap over it of course. Matter of fact I do the same thing to pound chicken breasts or tenderloin for carpaccio. He thinks I'm nuts when I clean the rubber and the wood handle, even though it has not touched the product.

Wow - great idea -
