Turning Trash into Treasure: A Milk Jug Mallet Making Adventure!

HDPE is the plastic used in many household containers including gallon sized milk jugs. I melt down about 7 milk jugs and 3 powdered lemonade containers to get enough HDPE to make my mallet head.
The handle of the mallet is made from a cherry board and adds a nice warm contrast to the plastic! This mallet packs a punch and is quite heavy given it smaller size!

PONYBOYonline It's not that difficult. All you need is menstrual blood from an 87 year old virgin, a root from 17 year old mandrake extracted during a full moon of the 13th zodiacal constellation of Ophiuchus. Only then during the birth of Hermes Trismegistus and while reciting Shemhamforash you can turn mallet into a milk jug.

Don't suppose one can post pics into RU-vid comments huh? Well if I could, I'd show off my HDPE mallet. Your work introduced me to the concept of melting down HDPE so - owning no jointers mallets - I figured I'd reproduce your efforts. I thank you sincerely for sharing this. My mallet head consists of 7 jugs and one cool whip container. I initially processed the first two jugs to a ridiculous extent, cutting them into small (1cm sq) cuts which took a solid 2-1/2 hrs - after that...and a blister on my thumb from hours of scissor work...I went with far larger cuts...which obviously worked just fine. The annoying part was melting the HDPE as my toaster oven is cheap and the temperature setting way off. I had to use a volt meter equipped with a K-type thermocouple to monitor the real-time temperature and do my darndest to keep it around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Gotta work the stuff while it's hot and manhandle it into the mold but I got it. It took a nice finish with sanding up to 400grit then buffing with a dremel + felt pad. Handle was made from layered Paduk-Maple-Paduk and I couldn't be happier with the finished look or "feel" of the mallet. Thanks again for sharing this tutorial!- James

@@brotherbryan2414 I've melted milk jugs trying to make new handles for my screw drivers that I often abuse with vice grips and hitting them with really big hammers. If you melt the plastic slow using low to moderate heat, I haven't noticed any fumes coming off of it but then again over the past few months I started seeing purple polka dots when I look up at the sky ;o) nah just keep an eye on things, do it in open spaces with plenty of fresh air coming in, and keep your nose turned on for if you smell anything potentially harmful

@tasmedic

I presume you mean "grammatically" correct. "Almost sure", will do very well. Well done, you! So use that. Don't qualify superlative terms, they were invented to stand up there, on their own, unqualified, as superlatives. I'm not sure how anal I am. However, when I do find out, you can be sure that I will explain in terms which follow the rules of the English language, such as they are, warts and all.
@tasmedic
@tasmedic 9 лет назад
Peter Brown No. Peter. It's the technique used to process the plastic which is toxic. It might be a bit safer to use an industrial kiln with concealed elements, which doesn't expose the surface of the plastic to radiant heat from the elements of the Toast-r oven. But, even then, I'd be worried about inhaling dioxins from the hot plastic.

After I got my brick i turned it on the lathe and drilled a hole in the middle. Made a handle out of some scrap 2x4 with some pyrography (since the heat gun was out). The kids enjoyed melting the milk jugs with the heat gun and I was surprised how hard the plastic was and how little marks wood. Great weekend project

I love your "oven mit"... why did that oven scene remind me of Breaking bad?! Hahah @ the cherry comment.. I was thinking you were going to say because it smells like cherry, but the burn comment is another sign! Too funny I think this is a great idea for a mallet! Does it absorb the impact better too?
@peterbrownwastaken
@peterbrownwastaken 9 лет назад
McGinn's WoodShop You must be thinking of GarageWoodworks latest video! :) I think I've only used cherry once before. It's hard to come by out here! As for the mallet. It's really dense, so it sorta of bounces a bit. It's a bit different, but I like it!

I sort of crammed all that together didn't I? You made a comment about Breaking Bad/ I responded with the " You must be thinking of +GarageWoodworks latest video! :)" You made a comment about it smelling like cherry/ I responded with " I think I've only used cherry once before." meaning I didn't know what it smelled like, because I don't ever use it! :) You're not crazy, you're just chatting with a mad man....

Can you microwave the plastic, or would it get too hot?
@svampebob007
@svampebob007 7 лет назад
I don't think that would work. microwaves work by exiting water molecules, the radio waves are tuned to resonate and transfer the energy to the water thus heating the food. I might be wrong, but it's my opinion that the microwaves would have no effect on the plastic. but there's really only two things to do, either put a hdpe peace in the microwave for a few second and see if it heats, or do some reading on HDPE and microwaves.

how would you do that?
@kingflynxi9420
@kingflynxi9420 8 лет назад
Zoi Loeffert well, I think if you add vinegar to milk it hardens into a sort of plastic like substance, so if you put the substance in a mould, with a mallet handle in it, I'm sure you could make a milk mallet
