    +1 on rawhide mallet.

    I have 3 different weights.

    most molds drop easily --- some take a little more persuasion

    I find mallets are easier to aim-hit the handle bolt

    I had a couple of broken baseball bats lying around one made from ash and the other made of maple. I cut them off about 12 inches above the knob and sanded the edge smooth, works great.

    Im seeing baseball bat handles hammers and other things i would call rough on a mold if it takes that much force. Just push on the sprue plate and it should cut er off with out much force unless I'm missin something.
    Those who would trade freedom for safety deserves neither and will lose both

    Hickory whatevers...........
    When I started casting on my own shortly after the green machine turned me loose found a pile of hammer handles for sale. Bought a dozen for $5.
    Used one on a hammer and so far on #4 opening molds.
