I was probably in hospital having the cut above my eye stitched up.

Very nice work Dave, and a GREAT story! You just can't make that kind of stuff up.
A bit off topic, as I don't have a draw bar mallet.
But this is close:

It was one of my very first projects way back in high school metal shop. (No dinosaur jokes please...)
We had to employ the use of 4 machines. Band saw, lathe, horizontal mill and surface grinder. It was much prettier back when it was first completed.
But after 40 years of being tossed around in various tool boxes, mushroomed over several times and ground down again, along with several other types of abuse - I still have it and it's still going strong.
