054 Infill joiners mallet

[@StavrosGakos]

In this video i'm gonna build my version of infill joiners mallet wich is inspired by Henry Studley's mallet. I was thinking about this projects for long time. For the wooden parts i used pear wood (and boxwood wedges), metal shell is made from high carbon steel and brass. As the finish i used antique oil. Cheers!

[@arturpietrek100]

Beautiful. A mallet is on projects list, so thanks for this video. Though, there's something missing in this video - stamping your name. Would you mind posting some rough dimensions? Thanks

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Artur! To be honest i don't know the dimentions, i made it by eye 🙂 but if you want i can send you it via Instagram. Cheers!

[@bigpete4227]

That’s artisan level craftsmanship. I’m glad I stumbled across your channel.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Pete!

[@lynnbryant9866]

Testing at the end of the video: This is where I glue leather pads on the ends of the handles of every chisel I own. :) Another beautiful project, beautifully done. What a masterpiece!

[@MadMulberry]

I glue the leather to one face of the mallet, but same thing achieved. Do you do smooth side in or out? I find that the adhesive sticks better to the smooth side, so that's what I do. Doesn't look as good but lasts longer.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Lynn!

Perfekcyjne wykonanie. Wiele można się od ciebie nauczyć. Dziękuję Adam

2:54 - that's a beautiful shaving - it's almost like a strip of veneer :-)

[@Paullyb79]

Beautiful whacker thingy. I shall have to have a go at making one myself.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you!

[@Rufio1975]

Did you have a go at it yet? Curious

[@Paullyb79]

@@Rufio1975 Not yet. Been down with pneumonia but on the up and up. Reorganising my shop and this is high on the list of projects to be done. Now that youve asked I will update once I have one mode. Love Stavros' work

[@michaelfling7786]

Stavros, you never fail to amaze ! Beautiful workmanship! I'm thinking that this piece will find a spot in the Studley tool chest you're going to build a bit later on. It's far too beautiful to use beating chisels and such.......might get dinged up!

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Michael :)

[@yvesdesrosiers2396]

As usual very nice work Stavros!!! Your little girl's smile is infectious. Thanks for sharing.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Yves!

[@rootvalue]

Your technique is flawless, but your taste in design is what makes your work so unique. Such fantastic aesthetic choices.

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey Hakeem, thank you!

[@Downtheshed]

Another absolutely awesome tool build. You make it look effortless. 👍👍👍

Thank you!

[@markgoode4109]

Outstanding workmanship; I like the wood/metal combination. It looks great and I'm sure it's a pleasure to use. Thanks for sharing your skills and ideas with us. Best wishes.

Thank you ;)

That's a really nice mallet, functional work of art.

Hey Rane, thank you for your support :) i appereciate it!

[@davidjohnston1971]

*tappy, tap, tap* Beautiful as always, and to have similar weight in a much smaller package, very well done.

Thank you David!

Респект и лайк за работу! Красивая работа,бессорно!! Но. Дизлайк за монтаж и длительность видео! Много ненужной воды!! Краткость,сестра таланта,но это не про вас!! Научитесь бережно относится ко времени своих зрителей! Почти 30 мин.на эту поделку-Слишком много!!

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks, just change the speed of the video for x2. I can't show less or show faster. Cheers

[@BBruno185]

Superbe design, superbe travail, superbe outil, merci pour cette vidéo 🐞

[@tonywatson987]

Beautiful! At 26:20, I thought 'Ouch - he's actually going to hit that chisel?!' - seemed like sacrilege to damage the face... But of course it's just a tool, no? I really like how you condensed the size while keeping the same heft as the traditional mallet.

[@StavrosGakos]

Yup, it's just a tool :) thank you Tony!

[@darrylscott3708]

If I made something like that I would be afraid to use it…..Who am I kidding, I could never make something that nice. 😀

[@JamesDutka]

You should thermally cycle the brass, cold working brass, work hardens the material. I believe a decent impact might fracture the finger joints :(. So beautiful though XD.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you!

[@nikburton9264]

Hey Stavros, beautiful piece Sir! I thought for sure you were going to use a draw knife on the handle, but I like the way you actually did it. Beautiful!

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks a lot Nik :)

[@weaveroll]

That mushroom is a commonly known as a liberty cap, Psilocybe semilanceata. It is toxic and highly hallucinogenic. just an heads up so the kids are safe. In my country its considered a felony just to pick them from your lawn because they are classed as an level 1 dr*g. and as always a beautiful and well made product :D

Don't worry, my daughter don't want to eat anything from the garden except apples :) thank you!

Stavros mam wiertarkę stołową WS-15 która ma wyłupane bakelitowe koło stopniowe wrzeciona pod paski klinowe . Koszt nowego koła z aluminium to 600 zł . Czy twoim zdaniem jest sens finansowy i techniczny wytoczyć koło ze sklejki wodoodpornej ze wstawką metalową na oś wrzeciona ? Wymiary koła ( materiału) to fi 200 mm na 100 mm grubości .

[@StavrosGakos]

Myślę, że warto spróbować 👍

[@pmewUK]

Absolutely beautiful. I have never worked with pear at all. Is it easy to work With? I noticed a little tearing-out as you worked but it finishes up beautifully. 😁

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Paul! If you will choose straight grained piece it will be a dream to work, but sometimes pear grains can be twisted like intestines 🙂🤟

[@adamtheroofer3659]

you are absolutely one of my favorite makers on youtube. I have learned from your past videos to wait until you are finished when making a project. There were a few times during the construction that I thought "where is he going with this or why is he doing it that way?" Then it always comes out great in the end. I always learn something and love to see your creative process. I cannot wait to do the same!

[@StavrosGakos]

Yes, boty are hard wood, the wedges are made out od boxwood.

As always, your work is SERIOUSLY impressive Stavros :) Im surprised you didnt chamfer the edges of the metal to compliment the chamfers around the face of the mallet...... nonetheless, it is purely AMAZING :) Ive never used Pear before, when you used the gouge on the handle it seemed to have a "creamy" texture similar to Boxwood....... im gonna have to find myself some Pear to work with :) I love it when I get a notification that you have put out a new video, it makes my day so much better.....
