Great mallet demonstration and an excellent honest review of the X-Carve.

That was probably the most honest and truthful review of the X-Carve. I am impressed that you, unlike others, didn't do the typical "this is the greatest thing and performs as well as a $3, 000 CNC. THANK YOU!!

Love the no-nonsense detailed narrations of your videos, and your honest commentaries. Keep up the good work!

I do love Birch ply. Such a versatile material. Made my workbench out of it and a mallet is definitely in the works. Nice job!

[AlbertoMartinez-rklf]

nice explanation about how a mallet works! thanks

[frankingram]

I have neither of those machines and due to cost most likely never will, but you gave as good of a "true review" as I have ever heard. You explained everything so simple that anyone could understand. You would make a great woodworking instructor.

you earned a viewer this video is informative and not boring.

Nice. I like how you never cut and paste what everyone else does. You always have your own twist on your projects. Keep it up Jer!

Really nice to hear such an honest review of the X-Carve.

Interesting review on the X-Carve-never heard of it before but I've been trying to get back into more "hand work". Thank you for explanation of the dead blow hammer, it was great!

New fan here. Very good demo of making the dead blow mallet and an honest review to boot. Thanks. I've just subscribed.

I like the mallet. I made one from pallet wood on my CNC. Thanks for clearing up a few questions I had around the XCarve. It really is a good price point if starting out.

I loved that cutaway view of the deadblow mallet. It does look like there's still bouncing occurring, it's just the BBs bouncing inside the head instead of the whole head bouncing off the workpiece.

Keep up the great work!!!
This is one of the few channels I truly get excited about when I see there's a new episode.

[waelalabrouni]

nice explanation with slow motion, cool

[sebastianocano]

great video Jer, the explanations are really clear, and the mallet is awesome, I will made one without cnc! thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[thoperSought]

this was a really helpful review of the x-carve. I'm thinking about getting one (maybe next spring, depending on things), and this has given me some things to think about.

given the price, it's still probably the best choice for me—which I'm sure is exactly what their target is.

also really liked the deadblow demonstration! the plexi-view was really helpful, and I think I watched that four second slo-mo like ten times...

awesome, awesome, awesome. thanks very much!!

[vallejokid]

Your videos are quite good. I look forward to you getting even better. Keep it up my man.

[benbrubaker]
