Making a Mallet that Melts Hearts & Breaks Stuff
Making a Mallet to sell has long been on my to-do list after having so many questions about them over the years. In this video, you'll watch me design, prototype and manufacture what I consider to be one of the most helpful tools for hand cut joinery and assembly.

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 27 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation, which is where I began growing my business. I then returned to Rycotewood to teach Evening Classes for 2 Years, while also teaching City and Guilds Furniture Making for 3 years. They were some long 12 hour days!
In September, 2021. I resigned from teaching at the school to focus on my own business.
In addition to all that studying and teaching during the week, I occupied my weekends working at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke. For 5 years, I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands. I discontinued this job role in 2019 to focus on teaching at Rycotewood and my own business.
During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite 'Tool Duel' where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best. I also have a Free Online Woodworking School which you should definitely check out!

I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.
Lets go make a mess.

That was entertaining. Of course, Rob can do that every time. Still, you got me beat by a mile. Nice work!
Still a bit spendy for hobbyists, but prices are coming down. And there's loads of folks using these to start a profitable little side hustle making all manner of personalized items.
Wow, really beautiful. Well done
Wasn’t this laser a pain in the butt?
I do and don't want one of these hammers. I do want one because they're cool as fuck. I don't want one because I'd rather just have the blank to make my own.
It's totally hunky dory, but it would magnificent if you or someone else hand carved some intricate design on the outside
I would just sand it
So why are all those heads flat? Router was totally unnecessary btw, you just needed a static tool that worked on the arc, like a ball turning jig.
No mention of cost of electricity for heating the wood in the oven for 5 days. I’d estimate 5 x 24 x £0.3 = £36!
Saying the wood is known for its weight and density is basically saying the same thing twice. Probably meant hardness and density.
I'd try a milling machine with a rotary table if you can. Use a radius bit, and you probably want to run it fast
Most Wasps are actually pretty cool and curious creatures. They usually only sting if you attack or surprise them. They will let you pet them before a cat would. 😂
It’s been fun watching the whole process leading up to this, Matt. And sometimes scary 😂 Watching the effort, time and craftsmanship going into each and everyone, I have absolutely no doubt that they are easily worth the money you’re selling them for. Unfortunately, I was too slow to sign up for the pre-order this time, but hopefully in the future, I’ll be able to get one to go with my marking knife. As a random side note, are there any other tools for the future you would like to produce?
I like your old hair style
How do I go about purchasing a mallet? N how much does it cost
He has a link to his shop in the description on his long form videos.
Beautiful ❤️
over the years that I've been watching you and your channel, I find that you look more and more like Jesus, which brings back memories of the jesus pens :D
Why would you not recommend it? Post mounted grinders are common things with metalworking lathes Like I get that it seems sketchy, but it's really not if the tooling is secured properly, it's nbd to me and seems reasonable believe it or not
Gotta be careful that everything is becoming a shill…
Make it out of steel!
Matt. First time coming across your channel. I was looking for a good how to video for hand planer. Your presentation is by far the best explanation I've seen. Thank YOU!
You basically did what hafthor did to Eddie halls deadlift record
Holy shit that vivid red color took me by surprise
Does it work on concrete?
Surely you could use like a concave surface with sand paper
that sounds like a great way to burnish the wood, but not really to shape it.
Also hard to get repeatable + insanely costly in consumables
_excellent_ tutelage, Matt mate! top banana.
Dear Matt, you've risen up to my top three carpenters youtubers...and the top one of my heart
Thank you 🙏
I love this presentation. No drama, no attempt at comedy, no superfluous sophistry, just very clear, straightforward, precise instructions on methodology of the exacting demands of the dovetail joint, possibly the king of joints in the world of woodworking, with exception to the Japanese styles of wood joinery that are more complex, however the same basic approach is required of both if one expects to create the beauty inherent in creating the interface between two of the forest's more elegant species.
Never gonna give you up!
Whats the name of this laser and exact model?
@@JoaMarko i think its listed in his video about the mallets.
Laser Pecker
LaserPecker LP4 👌
@@MattEstlea quality but if kit - my work have one and it’s great for tool marking.
@@MattEstlea thank you dear Sir!
I'm in love
I made one over a weekend...I cant see the difference...lost the coin..but who cares
11:50 there are differenti tipes of water stone, some harder like shapton some softer. On my 1000 grit shapton I sharpen a 3 mm chisel no problem sharpening freehand. This because I had a terribile experience with honing guides I don't like them they're top fidelly and without them I take 45 sec when honing
Jesus, Matt changed
One piece can no longer be said on the internet without it being REALLLLL!!!!
If you're so terrified of the lathe, then why did you place the control panel where you'll get hit by shrapnel if something breaks?
Genuine mistake! Well turn it around one day…
Huh? Wood that doesn't like to be worked quickly? Sounds like some metals. Perhaps some kind of wood-safe lubricant can be used.
oh wow, that's absolutely gorgeous
Thank You Matt…I always watched my Dad do the planing and now that he’s gone, I have his WWII Plane that I am cleaning up. Your instructions are super and much needed.
how many times did you try ? Because at this point it's not speed, it's experience :P
Absolutely not true
Jackfraggs turns wood now?
did I see OSB in this thing??
yes, in the drawer face
Looks like the tote on my Stanley No.3
Where do I pay!?? 💰💰💰
Stunning. Just stunning and so beautifully crafted. Well done and thank you for always inspiring.

These videos are all just excellent
