How to deal with hammering noise
Anyone have any advice for decreasing the noise from hammering when making holes using pricking irons? I work on a flat wooden desktop and I usually pad some flat scrap leather below. I live in an apt and I worry about the noise. This is especially a problem when I'm making holes for thicker pieces that requires 6-10 hits.

My current setup is a piece of non-slip cupboard/drawer foam on the work bench, then on top of that a 1 1/4" granite block, on top of that the clear rubber Japanese punching board. It's very quiet. If I want it to be even more quiet, I use a dead blow hammer instead of my Barry King maul.
