I show how I make a double sided, soft/hard bench mallet with a joinery technique that locks the mallet head in place much more securely than the typical wedged tenon/handle in a circular hole.

@kenwebster5053 2 года назад

In my experience, these types of mallets used to be made with a tapered handle to fit the tapered head slot. The head would just slip over the grip and up to near the top of the handle where the taper held it fast. No wedges required. Also, the head was a single block of wood and the slot was simply chiselled out, no glue required. The head never ever came off, unless it split apart or the handle broke, but in either event abuse would be to blame,

@dj1NM3 2 года назад

Finding a nice, big hardwood post to make the head from is perhaps the challenge, when you can make the whole thing from a single board and laminate the head. Laminating the head means you can "cheat" by cutting the angles on the mortice before gluing the head together.

@kenwebster5053 2 года назад

@@dj1NM3 I agree there are advantage to the laminated head. One of the main issues with a solid head, is finding a curly twisty bit of grain to resist splitting. Laminating can help with that by reversing the grain runout. between each layer & reversing the growth rings reduces cupping over time which in turn reduces the tendency for shrinkage splitting. There are pros and cons to both, my main point was cutting a tapered handle & slot, rather than relying on wedges.

I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos so far. Another request. Please make a video about your different planes. How do you sharpen your blades? How do you adjust and set up to produce such beautiful thin shavings? It’s completely mesmerizing to watch! Thank you for your content. Awesome work!

@FranksWorkbench 2 года назад

@willmorrison1022 2 года назад

Who cares if you do? That is part of what makes it YOUR mallet. Turn that into part of a decorative pattern that you carry around the edge as a border. Or make it part of your signature. Or just ignore it, because believe me, as you use it, the thing will get a LOT more banged up than that little nick. Think if it like going out and getting a brand new car. That first dent or ding is going to drive you nuts. When you start off with that little nick in there, the first dent or ding is already taken care of. Nothing to get upset over at all. Don't ever let the fear of perfection stop you from doing anything. Remember this: When you finish a project, no one knows what you intended to make when you started. They only see what you finished. They can't judge it against your original intention, because they don't know what you started out to make, they only see what you DID make. So they can only judge it against itself. And most likely, as itself, it's just fine. Build away and enjoy. And the more you use those chisels and planes, the better at it you will get. Keep at it and do fun stuff.

Really nice mallet, seems it's quick to make too. Most mallets I know were made to be taken apart for easy replacement of parts, exchanging heads/handles and for easy storage. (The handle and tenon are tapered) I have to say I split all my mallet heads when glued in layers, so I would recommend making them out of one piece (really dense and straight grained wood)
