Make your own Mallet here: woodworkingmasterclasses.com/...
No one hammer fits all at the bench of a woodworker, so I thought I would explain my choice of hammer types in this video.
Mallets, for me, are a little outdated, but I do not dismiss them altogether. I like the ones I have made through the years and still use them when I have a need or preference.
Then, we have hammers with plastic heads in a woodworker's workshop. I use one every minute of every day, pretty much. Steel, wood, or plastic, which do I recommend? Well, it may not be either or all.
I put this video together to steer your considerations and hope that it helps you to choose exactly what you need.

Paul, you have been a mentor and a great teacher to me and so many others for many years. So glad to see you back in the shop, sharing your wisdom. You've probably forgotten more things about wood than many of us will ever know. So happy to see you doing better and hoping you continue too. Thank you so much sir, this community loves and cares for you deeply.

Thanks for that summary. My go to hammer/mallets are as yours and yet I have so many more which I figure I have saved from oblivion and delight me when I see them on the shelf. I especially like using the cross pein/warringtons.

Thank you, Paul. Brief and very informative. I have a beautiful old mallet of my late grandfather which I'm trying to use in the way it was intended for. I appreciate your comment about its limitations for assembly work. I have been looking for the Thorex hammers you have recommended before but they are impossible to get in the EU without facing import duties, which makes them too expensive. But one day I'll get my passport sorted (post-Brexit reality), travel to the UK again and visit a hardware store that stocks them... I'll bring back 3 in my luggage - enough to last me a lifetime and leave one for each of my children 😀... Cheers!

I come from another tradition, namely the North European and Scandinavian, so I prefer the club over the mallet. I have clubs of different size and weight. The smallest is great for carving, because I can just hold its head in my hand. I rarely use it for chiseling other than the smallest persuasion. The largest club can easily drive a large mortise chisel. I would add the ball peen hammer if you do metal work. I have to admit that I have many more hammers than strictly needed, but I like hammers :^) I have to invent jobs for some of them, so for example I have a designated mini club hammer for drawbore pins (Japanese Daruma) and one for smaller wedges (Japanese Kiduchi) :^)

I picked up a Warrington hammer based on one of your earlier videos, handy thing to have, it's also my smallest hammer, not a bad thing if you just need a tap, not a whap. One more hammer? I have a 12 oz. ball pein hammer, use it once in a great while to set or reset a rivet.

@roman_le 24 дня назад

Since I made myself a hollow oak mallet filled with lead shot, I use it for almost any woodworking task.

@cobberpete1 24 дня назад

I thought you used the Warrington for adjusting the old style plane irons.

@Paul.Sellers 24 дня назад

Do you mean me, or one does? You can use a Warrington hammer for whatever task you find it suited to.

@cobberpete1 24 дня назад

@@Paul.Sellers I've seen you many times in the past using the Warrington to adjust the plane Iron. I know it's a good pin hammer, but my impression was it is just the right 'Weight' for the plane irons :☺

@ImOnAJourney 24 дня назад

I have a few hammers that my Dad used forever and a day, I have two hammers that I call ‘slammers’ because I use them only for demo work, I recently purchased a Warrington that I love, and I have a big clunky mallet that I hardly ever use.

@toysoldier46552 23 дня назад

For small nail heads to get them started I use a pin nail hammer. To each their own, but remember, a pin nail hammer is generally very inexpensive.

What is the weight of the warrington hammer?

@keith121261 24 дня назад

I got a Stanley which looks very much like your forex I wonder if the replacement heads from the forex would fit my Stanley as not available anymore

@flyerphil7708 24 дня назад

It’s a Thorex 712 from the Thor Hammer company.

@keith121261 24 дня назад

@@flyerphil7708 yes I know Paul said that but I wondered if the spare heads are same as Stanley and with Paul’s knowledge I might know or ever have both Stanley and Thorex to compare as I only have the Stanley one

When you say the mallet is bodark, do you mean osage orange?

@faheyplayer 24 дня назад

Was he saying Padauk?

@Janna-e4t 24 дня назад

It is Osage orange. It’s very commonly called bodarc or bois d’arc in Texas.

@michaelmorris1865 24 дня назад

@@faheyplayer no he said bodark, short for bois d'arc

@Paul.Sellers 24 дня назад

Well, I did mean what I said but Oasage orange works just as well. The name came from the Osage Nation, a Midwestern American tribe of the Great Plains and Osage was the wood they used for making extremely stout and resilient bows. In Texas we referred to it as simply Hedge, Bow wood, Horse-apple and hedge. More names, highly descriptive versions i suppose are pap, monkey ball, monkey brains and yellow-wood. The French came up with Bois d'arc (from French meaning "bow-wood") and so emerged the corrupted words of bodark and bodock.

@michaelmorris1865 24 дня назад

@Janna-e4t fantastic dense wood but expensive in the north.
