Making a Mallet With Extra Weight

I figured it was time to stop beating on my chisels with metal hammers, so I dug through my scrap bin and put together a mallet with some Ash and Black Walnut. I fired up my lead melting pot and added about 1.5 pounds of extra weight while I was at it.

Very beautifully crafted. I really like the calm music in this video too. A nice relaxing moment in a crazy, busy world. Thanks.

I like this format, voice overs are not always necessary. Your videos and presentation is good enough viewer knew what was happening.

[SmallestWorkshopGH]

Great to have a plain, simple and to the point presentation without major sponsorship splattered everywhere. Keep up the great work.

The ash is gorgeous and the mallet is stunning. Great work. Don't worry about the no commentary, the video came out just fine. In fact, these small projects don't really need commentary. Just take us along for the ride. lol. Many people seem to enjoy watching people make things and some people even fast forward through commentary. Find the right balance with your videos and keep making quality content like this. Thanks

Gorgeous work. Non voice over perfect for this project. Pretty simple steps and self explanatory.

Beautifully done. No need for a voice over - anyone with a smidgen of talent can follow you and understand exactly what was done and why. I wish I had the equipment to do projects such as this. Actually this is not just a mallet - it is a work of art and an extension of your imagination.

There are many mallet videos on youtube, but your mallet is my favorite - the choose of wood, design, finish. And your filmmaker skills is cool too. Keep going and good luck!

Man this is probably the best mallet video on youtube. Great work

[JustinDepew]

Using the drill press for your branding iron was a great idea. I'm going to have to remember that trick. Nice video!

[StevenVacher]

A beautiful tool that will last forever. Love the style.

[alansimpson]

That's not only a mallet, it's a work of art. I feel the urge to go out to my workshop now.
Many thanks.

[BookofIsaiah]

That's a gorgeous mallet!!!! I like how you show the whole build process! It helps me to learn. Thanks for another great video!!

[FishersShop]

Amazing looking mallet! I LOVE the look of that ash, it's amazing! The only problem is that now you probably don't even want to use it with the risk of marking it up. :) Great job, thanks for the video!

[IamFormaggio]

Thanks for staying up late to make this. Great result.

[kurtkreuzberger]

Beautiful. I am going to make one. Thanks

[frenchriversprings]
