klunk is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: 3/8 shaft, is it strong enough.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the additional support.

I've attached a very rough sketch up of the object to give you further clarity on the scale and materials I'm planning on using.

To paraphrase, the mallet should have some force but nothing too drastic. It's for a visual arts project. It is temporal construct and will most likely never be used again. It's sole purpose is to pound on the block of soil till the block breaks down. The block (made of topsoil) will be formed/petrified with just a mixture of pva and water, so it should be fragile enough to be destroyed by this mallet. What I would like to see and hear is the mallet making a reasonable pound upon contact with the block. That's it.

Thanks again. This place is great.
