Making A Hammer/Mallet using DAP Rapid Fuse Wood Adhesive 

+Kinderhook Woodcraft Much appreciated, Im a fan as well

yes, the style back then was SO much more pleasant

+J Smith Woodwork & Bespoke Handmade Kitchens Thank you!

Thanks skip

+Frank Thornal Appreciate it Frank!

+Wood By Wright Would love to see what you come up with!

+mIkeY Thank you!

+Gib Clark Let me know what you think, the glue is impressive. Ive used it on a few projects now, and I have not been disappointed

+Matt Diresta Thanks man, can never have too many enormous mallets

They should, its a great quick product.

+Canadian Sasquatch It really is, and its stronger than CA. Im actually using it for some coffee tables to test its durability, so far so good!

Nice, I would be quite interested in how that turns out.

+Rian Corcoran Thank you! try it out, Im really starting to like it

+Joshua Tree Custom Furniture Thank you!

Yeah it definitely is odd to see on here but for a Gen Xer who learned most of my early skills from the greatest generation and the silent generation it's a relatively new concept however watching a guy in flip flops and shorts is an unfathomable hazzard. I like to think I have a pretty good compromise I use a push stick most of the time now on things narrower than my hand and an it's an actual purpose made push stick not just a paint stick or a scrap from the floor.

Thank you. I dont have any turning tools, so that makes it difficult

I understand. I personally like how when things are done free hand, each one has a more "unique feel" to them. Keep up the cool vids. All you makes such as yourself and Diresta are who keep me inspired.

Hey John, I just wanted to clarify that the above comment from Eric McGrew is me. I just responded from the wrong channel user. Sorry...

Thank you very much !

+The Russian Woodworker i checked out your video! nice!

+Charles Holland well now you know how to make one!

+patriotsriot thanks!

Still using them almost 3 years later !

+Bruce A. Ulrich Thank you

+Cactus! workshop thanks!!

I have never had that issue. So i guess nothing....

Yep it is an INCRA, not sure of the exact model but it works.

It depends on what im making. I love the product for quick glue ups that do not need a ton of positioning. ie. Panels. Lettering, etc. I dont use it for large scale woodworking applications like some would try. It is fantastic for small table tops and panel glue ups tho.

I'm getting ready to make a hope chest so I was going to use it for the panel construction. Glad you mentioned that it works good for that.

A lot of veterans and pros use the technique. jimmy Diresta included. If you safely hold your piece and take your time you should have no problems.

Bandsaw

Cause he knows what he's doing?

+jimgam730 sounds awesome man!

Than*

like 6" x 4" i think

glue held up great. I blew the wood to pieces tho haha

unfortunately I have 3! I need to step up my safety game. thanks a lot!

3 push sticks is good but 10 fingers are better dude, liking up until I had to wince with that 2 inch cut.

When you do this for a living, like I do, you know where your fingers are. I'm not saying safety is not important, it is; but do you really need to express to a true professional what he should be doing?...Why not just watch and enjoy? You coming up with this design of a Mallet? Quit trolling. Everyone in woodworking knows the dangers...just watch and stop looking for anything to comment on. You obviously have never been on a job site or done any contracted work. If you don't know what I mean by that... then I made my point.

@@lightningstrikelures2393 Jimmy fucking Diresta cut his damn pinky off. Two guys I used to work with who'd been roofing for 20+ years each fell off roofs & died within two months of each other. It doesn't *MATTER* how fucking long you've been doing the shit; do it the right way. It's all well & good to talk that way, but you're only fine until you're not; it's like somebody justifying driving drunk because they do it all the time. Nobody cares what your reason is when something gets fucked up. Use your brain.

@@cavemanjoe7972 opinions are like assholes everyone has one....most aren't valued at all just like yours buddy....nobody cares who you know or know of either cry to somebody else. Professionals take risks sometimes, it's their life and your opinion isn't even worth it's own weight in shit.....live with it

VIKINGRAIDER It seemed that way to me too so I looked it up to understand it. For other readers: The internal weight (bearings here) needs to be able to lag, coming to a stop later than the hammer body. This delivers the force over a longer time and reduces bounce. Having the bearings fill almost the whole cavity will mostly erase that lag /dead-blow.

Im glad you hate my logo !

Constructive criticism at its finest🤣

So only young snot nose lose fingers on a table saw with no push sticks or writhing knife? I’m guessing you’re an old timer that thinks he has cat like reflexes and can beat the speed of saw blade? You know us old timers get better reflexes as we get older!

Oh boohoo

Very mature. Do hope you don’t cut anything off.

@@bobdavis5216 well I sure haven't. And this guy is a professional so neither has he.
