    This vid is 11 years old and I have a mallet as I made that one, I have a clamp rack as I followed yours. This channel is the best woodworking channel as Steve shows how to make things, not hey! see what I made? Your channel made woodworking achievable, not out of reach. I'm going back to all your vigs on building. Thank you for all your work

    It was so weird watching this without a gripper ad spot at the start of the video.

    Very rare to find a woodworker that isn't old and boring.

    I had planed on buying a heavy beach mallet from woodcraft until i saw this video, i really like the idea of this type of mallet and I wish I had found your video series a long time ago. Your projects are simple but very nice looking and you are not pretentious like a lot of the "fine" woodworkers. You are down to earth and I like that. You have really gotten me excited for some projects. Thank you for doing what you do.

    I watched this video years ago. Recently I bought a bunch of new tools (axes, mattocks, chisels, etc) to give to my nephew and spent the day sharpening them all. There was just a ton of metal on the ground so I picked it up with a magnet and I've been sacing a small collection of metal powder wondering what the heck I could possibly use them for. Just now I remembered watching this video and remember that Steve weighted the head of his wooden mallets with metal. I never made a mallet before and so now I'm thinking I finally figured out a good use for all this!
    Thank you Steve, I'm excited to put your techniques to use.

  • @ruizeric74

    • @rochat
      @rochat Před 10 lety

      Want to see dumb? Search "spats bear table saw". I found it while looking up info on craftsman table saws and the poor information and practice by those two donkeys is only outdone by their sheer arrogance. Shockingly, they've disabled comments.

    If you leave a little space whilst installing the lead pellets/balls you can effectively make a dead blow hammer.

  • @johnpeck11
    @johnpeck11 Před 11 lety

    I like how the head is made with the sand or lead shot. That's basically how a plastic dead blow mallet works. It probably has very little bounce when you strike something and imparts almost all its force into the object. Very nice. Thanks for providing the video.

  • @daleleibfried8648
    @daleleibfried8648 Před 11 lety

    Steve, this a is an fun and excelent wood working project for us mere mortals. i made one after i saw this with a golden oak and maple handle and a maple and ipe head. then i used red oak wedges. the result is nice dark and light contrasted tool. very usefull also. thanks for the idea. keep the vids coming

    But even though it didn't make any difference in reality he does also explains what he does and that you yourself could use BBs if you want to.

    Great plan and how-to, WWMM! I'm a newer subscriber but found this 'classic' video! I couldn't rummage up a sufficient "heft" of lead fishing weights, so I piled in a stack of 1 1/2" washers, with a few daubs of epoxy between and around.. (also considered a stack of our Canadian dollar coin Loonies, but I'll save it for my 2.0 version down the line!). Thanks for these oldies, and all the new videos, too! Stay safe.

    I once saw an article ina a magazine telling that the little fishing weights are used not only to add weight, but also to keep the mallet from knocking back. These kind of malled are known as dead blow mallets.
    Anyway I loved the video as usual! Cheers from Brazil!
