Thor’s Hammer from THOR: Ragnarok
I wanted to make my daughter a full size replica of Thors Hammer, Mjolnir, to take with us to the movie on opening night. I don’t have the ability to make a metal one, but I could certainly make a wooden one.
I had a silver maple log that a friend gave me and so I made the hammer from that. It was a quick project since we only had about 4 hours before movie time. But I think it turned out great, and it was a great hit at the movies!
I am also including a free set of plans for this project for anyone who wants to build it.

[@josephwatts2904]

That heat gun trick was awesome James! The hammer came out really nice. In videos where you don't use a lot of glue...you should show a clip of you filling your glue container up! And really enjoy your live video chats!

[@Don-bp2sx]

Phenomenal,,a great father

[@gameoftones77]

I just did this in a smaller scale because i needed a mallet. So easy, and so fun to do. I didnt have a lathe, so i used a combination of table saw, router and hand files to get a carve I liked. Thanks for the idea!

[@MrCpolzin]

I love it..! I want to build a giants chair and table in my gardens.A giant Thor Hammer too...? Oh Yeeahh..! Great clip mate

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha. That would look cool.

Cool project! You have me wanting to make one of these now! I made the Maui Hook from Moana and that was a blast.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi. You should do it. There are free plans in the description, just in case you need them. I thought about building that maui hook. It looks very cool.

[@WorkingTimbersCo]

Thank you sir!

[@rockinHurley777]

I mean, it's about the size of the movie prop🤷‍♂️

[@alfredneumann4692]

Boy, with this 'Beast' you can hammer someone to the middle of the earth! One more time it was a very entertaining video. Cheerio from Germany.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Alfred. Thank you!

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

I love Thor!! Mjölnir is a beast. In fact, my dogs name is Mjölnir & we’ve trained him to only “respond” to me like Mjölnir to Thor lol. Just one suggestion, maybe do a lichtenberg effect with epoxy & glow in the dark powder to have that Thor lightning effect going on. I know for sure once we get our shop up & running again, this is definitely what I’m doing. Thank you guys so much for these awesome & inspirational videos.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Glow in the dark powder would be awesome. You should send pictures when it is done.

[@rothandre6497]

I so approve of this project.

[@OAbbas]

thanks for video. like your channel

[@dalewilliamson1125]

Super cool build James. I'm looking to build a mallet for my granddaughter. Thanks for sharing.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Dale, Here are the free plans for this one if you are interested. kingsfinewoodworking.com/collections/project-plans-for-sale/products/thors-hammer-life-size

[@dalewilliamson1125]

Hello James, I was thinking about making a mallet for the grandkids and my wife stopped me. She said within a day they would both have black eyes and knots on their heads. LOL The grandkids are ages 5 and 8 years old. Maybe I'll just build one for myself. I understand you are in Denver? I'm in Evergreen, CO. Thank you for the reply.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Dale! Oh no. Can’t make them Mallets from exotic lumber!! Haha, it’s way too hard. Make them out of Balsa Wood! I actually got a couple of blocks, and I was going to try it. I thought it might be funny. Anyway, yes, I’m in Denver!

[@dalewilliamson1125]

James, do you know of a place to buy barn wood? Or know of a saw mill?

[@MrOwen703]

I did so many of the same things for mine! My drill press also could not cut it so I did not drill all the way thru so I cut a glue groove before installing it. Your build video is so much better then the one I made, great job!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Luke. Thank you. It sure is fun to build these things.

[@chuckcurtin]

Great job. But, you should have used boomerang wood, so it would come back when thrown.

[@DragonGateDesign]

Oh man I want one lol looks awesome

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

I sell them on our website. kingsfinewoodworking.com/collections/thors-hammer-woodworking-mallets/products/life-size-thors-hammer-mjolnir

[@robertevans6481]

My daughter and her husband went to see it opening night, and he had got the coin from the movie, but i like this mallet, you are right, it is a beast....lol

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Robert. We enjoyed the movie and it was fun taking the big hammer.

[@ronswoodshack3855]

Saw you on 731 live edge tonight and subscribed to your channel. Not up to this level yet, but that is one cool hammer!!!! Thank you for the content!

[@darrelllee617]

Cool hammer!!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Darrell, thanks!

[@grandpasgaming5232]

Very cool! I really enjoy your videos and hope to put to use some of your projects! Also I think it’s great in using your kids in these as they will always remember helping dad in his shop!!

[@woodywoodworkerfuller9921]

Nice !!!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@silvergrizzly316]

Yep!!! Now that deserves me say'n it,,,,,,, A W E S O M E Build!!!👍👍👍 " 👌 "

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Gerald, thank you!

[@eketelon]

James, I think you may realize by now, I really love the work you do and most of all the family involvement. I really hope that by the time I start producing content, I'll also have some family involvement to include. Also, your mallets are seriously some of the best I've seen and I've watch a load of them being made. Let me know if possible how I could buy one from you some time. I could make one, but want the best. Best wishes for your other projects sir!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi, All of the mallets that I make, I also sell on my website. And, all purchases of our pieces go toward helping to support this channel. Thank you very much, ~James kingsfinewoodworking.com/collections/woodworking-pieces-for-sale

[@BrandonsBees]

I like it! Good work!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Brandon. Thank you very much! I built one of yours too! I guess I must be addicted to making mallets. Haha.

[@BrandonsBees]

I'd love to see it!

[@gregdileonardo760]

Fabulous tnx

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@stevechandler2630]

You should this off to the Props team at "The Big Bang" show... I would love to see it on there as they are always on about Thor... Steve@UK

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Steve! That's an awesome idea! Thank you!

[@towfickassis7803]

That was beautiful craftsmanship. Would you be interested in making another one? I would love to purchase one from you.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

[@bigclay8479]

[@redmk5]

Good job .. the hammer looks good. By the way , you have a beautiful family :) thanks for sharing!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@ShogunJimi]

great stuff - LOL

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha, Thanks James! It’s obvious by now that I’m obsessed with Mallets!

[@maddogharper01]

Very nice, I'd like to see you make one out of a burl, that would look awesome and be the only one. I wasn't a fan of the 2 decorative cuts underneath, otherwise a fantastic build. Well done.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@aleksamaker8118]

Been a while since i commented great video btw

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi. How have you been? We have been missing your comments.

[@allanpaganini]

Hi James How are you? All yours projects are amazing. Congratulations for you and your family.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

I am great . Thank you

[@IgotHeliFever]

Finally someone builds a nice size Hammer/Mallet instead for these tiny 3 x 4 mallets! Very Nice job! Do you have to add to cart to get the PDF ?

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha. Thank you! Yes. Add to cart. Go through check out. It is free but that is the only way I can set it up for people to download on their own.

[@effyou128]

This came out pretty good Do you find the west system going a lil pinkish on you? It doesn't when I add a thickener but when you use epoxy as a flat finish you cant thickening it I use a piece of mylar and the finish comes out flawless its just a pink tint to it.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi. I have never actually noticed a pink tint and I have been using this system for many, many years. But I do have the fast hardener, that might make a difference.

[@andrew5792]

James, another great build, thanks. Also I just had a flashback, is your daughter named for an expression in a Steven King book by any chance.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Andrew. No. My wife is from India. We took a name that was Indian. Sai means flower.

[@MakeBrooklyn]

Awesome, that is a one bad @$$ mallet!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha. Thank yo!

[@NASTYcraftX]

Where I live there's no way they'd let you in the theater with that thing hehe

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

I was surprised they let us take ours in. But I'm glad they did. It was fun.

[@user-vy1ib7on5r]

جميل جدا

[@toysoldier46552]

I was wondering if we'd hear from you after the other night lol. Now the question is, how much glue will he use this time, the edit will come after I finish the video! Yep still a lack of glue lol, and thanks for going over the bubbled up resin fix after our discussion on a job I have coming up, hopefully I do not have nearly that many bubbles considering how slowly I will have to pour that surface not to mention I heard heating it prior to pouring helps :) Hammer came out nice, too bad you didn't stop and think you just made your wife something else to hit you with haha.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Anthony. My internet just completely cut out that night. This hammer didn't take much glue at all. It's not just my wife I have to worry about, all 5 of my daughters have mallets too. And Sai has a sword. Luckily, they still like me. Haha.

[@toysoldier46552]

Haha, good luck :P

[@FuzzyScaredyCat]

They let you take that into the movie theatre?

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

They sure did. I was a little surprised. But it was my 13 year old daughter carrying it.

[@samuelroberts334]

Pretty cool! How much does it weigh?

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Samuel. Thank you! It weighs 8 pounds.

[@RiaanOliver]

That is one mega mallet, how was the movie? Looks like you had a great time.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

We did have a great time. Thank you!

[@robmo314]

How can I buy one of your hammers? I love your work and all the ideas and the most important thing I like to see how you work with your daughters. Lovely

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi! Thank you!! We do sell them. In all types of exotic species. Here is a link. Thanks, James kingsfinewoodworking.com/collections/thors-hammer-woodworking-mallets

[@NZErehwon]

Ah so that's the Mjölnir hammer Sai had at the movies. Enjoy, its huge.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha, yes. She really enjoyed taking it to the movies with us. Rupa even took her hammer as well. And I took my micro mallet.

[@RTTSOLUTIONS1]

Nice work. One question, if the PDF plan is free why is the site asking me for my Credit Card info in order to get it? It's either free or it's not.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

It is free. No credit card needed.

[@christaylor30]

Can I get a plain for this?

[@JohnT2001]

So. Im back here haha

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

[@thenameisoussama2977]

The handle was a bit bigger

[@rockinHurley777]

Not sure how that is from ragnarok.. but looks good anyways

[@PTS0x45]

Gripper -- Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

I was sad for the rest of the day. I was wondering if anyone would see it.

[@PTS0x45]

Don't worry ... it just means more room for dust extraction. I love your videos, btw. The format is great, and I love the way your kids help out. My daughter #2 loves to help me out too. Daughter #1, not so much.

[@VampyRagDoll]

Lucky girl, that hammer is a beaut.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha. Thank you!

[@effyou128]

But the hammer Isnt in the movie long lol and its gone for good now lol

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

I know. That was so sad.
