I Made A Better Mallet

After two years of use, it was time to improve on my original mallet. The new mallet features a stronger mortise and tenon joint, a beefier mallet head, and better proportions giving it a more appealing look. Head to my blog to learn more about this mallet and the old one.

Andy looking for ur other channel am I overlooking it in the description? If not please post a link. Thanks brother

That's pretty messed up that you force the old mallet to help build it's replacement.

I’m telling you Andy, these videos keep getting better and better

[pauldeven]

Awesome build Andy, keep it up. I've noticed your videos don't get as many views as they used to but you still put a lot of effort into making them look good. That's respect.

Your videos are Ron Swanson’s version of ASMR

It's great to watch a master Craftsman at work. I learn just by watching you work, thank you.

I really like you videos, like a lot but I am dyslexic (got to love the dictation function on my phone) and it means when I watch your videos I am constantly hitting pause to make sure I get all of what you are doing. Just a suggestion, maybe make the captions stay in the screen longer or talk, you have a pretty good voice. Like you could do radio! No worries if you don’t or can’t change it, I will still watch your videos. Thanks for another great project!

Nice build! That is the biggest band saw I've ever seen!

[williamellis]

Wow, what a craftsman! You made that mallet with more precision than most other people have in their fine pieces.

[emanuelerossi]

I totally agree on size remodulation, it really seems better than the other one. Nice job!

[tomtruesdale]

Outstanding build on that mallet. Learned several things watching it. Thanks for what you do.

Hey Andy, Great video. One thing that I noticed was that when you mortice the head, you don't taper the hole. I was taught that when you are going to wedge a tenon, you should taper the mortice 1/16th wider at the top on each side, creating an angled mortice so that when you insert the wedge, it spreads the top out and gives it grip. This way, your mallet head won't come loose. Keep up the great videos!

[calebpostma]

This guy is a true craftsmen. Love the time you put in

[BrassGrain]

Awesome, I love the idea of the shoulder to add strength

[thomasb]

I like the video without closed captions as it fun to figure out what your doing and is great to see what happens in the end

[grupp]

Great addition of the shoulder to add strength and longevity to your mallet. I ponder a dead blow version of the same. Possibly walnut for the main body and ashe for the shot filled end for contrast and functionality.

[Myrkskog]

Well, today's job will be to make my own mallet. I've got some nice pieces knocking around, let's hope it's as nice as yours! Thanks for the inspiration, Andy.
