Can you do a video with hairpin legs

[@darrellcoy]

There is no way you have not served. The subtle lingo hints at it. BUT I support everything about this video, regardless. Godspeed brother.

[@731Woodworks]

I’ve got 2 projects on the channel with hair pin legs. Ones a TV stand. One is a nightstand.

[@731Woodworks]

Never been military.

That little trim router working overtime on these mallets! I used the makita trim router for several years until I started doing work in the shop and upgraded to a full size Bosch and mounted it in a table. World of difference between the two

[@johncote8061]

One of my most valued display items is the mallet that Matt sent me. (His reference early in this video of giving one as a gift). Honored that he shared his craftsmanship and enjoy sharing the story of how we came to know each other as brothers in arms and Brothers in Christ. The 2019 coin also bears the name of my Brother: Maine State Police Detective Benjamin Campbell. End of Watch April 3, 2019. May he Rest In Peace.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you sir. I appreciate your friendship

Amazing story of God's handiwork.

Very touching story! Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration Matt! I really enjoy watching your channel.

[@knowledge-quest5812]

Thank you to you brother and all those that put their life and limbs on the line for us, may God rest the fallen ones souls in peace... Pray with me... Dear Father, please protect all those worldwide serving to protect and save lives no matter which profession with the best armour which is the armour-of-God to keep then and all around them safe and free from harm and that they no-longer need to pull the trigger to save lives... Thank you Lord Amen

I’m new to woodworking and was looking to build a wood mallet and found your video. I’m a Christian, a former Marine and a retired police officer. I love how you spread the gospel in your video and showed support for law enforcement. God bless you, and thank you for what you do. I am going to attempt to make a mallet and put in a challenge coin!

[@spockjones4166]

Hello from Canada Matt. I really enjoyed your video. I have been a professional cabinet maker and finish carpenter for 32 years. I've always enjoyed watching other woodworkers enjoy their craft and inspiring others. Keep up the good work. People need positive videos like yours in these times because there is far to much negativity and division in the world today. I'm making a mallet in my shop as I watch your video. Thank you.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you!

[@Lutzboater]

Very impressed with these mallets. As a retired LEO from a Sheriff's Office in Florida, like yourself, have seen the heroics of many of our counterparts over the years. Thanks for your service and may God comfort and hold dear the families of those fallen this year.

[@731Woodworks]

👊🏻 thank you for your service.

Honestly, the mallet with the 'Ten Commandments' coin still looks great!

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks!

[@quinnpickard5899]

I know this is an old video so I doubt you’ll see this but honestly thank you for your videos and the kind heart you seem to have. Also thank you for being very fourth front with your relationship with God it’s very encouraging.

[@stanwiggins3423]

The mallet is great, and your dedication to the brother of the fallen officer is very commendable. Love watching every one of your videos.

[@731Woodworks]

Much appreciated

[@davidlakous2546]

I have watched way to many hours of all kinds of wood working videos. I really like the epoxy river projects. Wanting to start my own KZbin channel as well. Your is most like me. No fancy tools, on a budget and more importantly your a brother in Christ and are not afraid. I build small planks with embedded coins for our men ministry. Now the mallet is way cool. I’m gonna switch over. Thank y’all for what you do. From Wichita Ks. Shalom!

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you 👊

[@wesnall6796]

Matt, I am a newbie woodworker and brother of a police officer (who has been in command and lost officers under his watch). I am also an ER nurse who has seen first hand officers injured in the line of duty. I truly appreciate your channel/videos and enjoy learning about the various ways you are honoring these officers. I also grew up in a small southern town with a very close knit church family, so your willingness to profess your faith publicly means a ton to me as well. Continue posting videos. You are doing good work, my brother.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you

[@billrobinson8939]

Thanks. I just started making mallets, 2 so far. Watched 1/2 your video then went out and cut enough for 2 more. Thought I was cutting oak for outside layers. Got pieces over by light and discovered that they were cherry. On my 1st 2 , I cut thr shoulders on the handles, glued them and pinned center with 3/8 oak dowels. Look ok for an old geezer on his first try. Making more for gifts. I'll be using the contrasting wedge too. Love your videos and t-shirts. God is good. Bless you.

[@blakealvey3028]

Saw your Instagram so looked up your KZbin and man I feel obligated to say the mallet with the Fallen On it is amazing and you did them a great service and honor by recognizing them. As a Marine and Firefighter I just wanted to say Thank you. Much respect!! God Bless those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you. And thank you for your service

[@bennygerow]

41:00 this is my favorite part of the whole thing. For fellow believers, we've had these types of things happen to us which are outside the realm of "it's just a coincidence". I honestly got choked up just now. I'm a soldier in NC, only man working today where I'm at. A few minutes ago I heard the door open up, which confused the heck outta me since nobody should be coming in. It was a coworker of mine and his boy who had decided to leave their family gathering with four plates of Thanksgiving dinner wrapped up to bring in to whoever was working. Celebrated Thanksgiving in Iraq once in '09. Anyways, before I get to rambling, just wanted to say it means more than I can explain in words when people do genuine acts of kindness and generosity for me just because I serve. Happy you shared this, and to anybody reading this, don't ever let anyone discourage you from sharing those acts with others on social media. People see it, they get inspired, they see that there's good Americans out there. That's all I want to say. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all 🇺🇲

Hey Matt, i realy hope you get this. My name is Riaan, and i am from South Africa. Thanks for this great channel. I am a newby woodworker, and strugeling to get the right tools for the job, and was about to give up on it. But watching this video of yours making the Mallets, learned me much much more than just building a wooden hammer. Realising the Higher Power, and to rather be greatfull for what you do have, than moping around about what you dont have. Thanks Matt, i think i am ready to make the best with what i do have.

I know this is one of your older videos, so you’ve probably heard this tip by now, but I thought the space where the handle goes would be the perfect place to use this tip for removing squeeze out. James King uses a plastic straw to remove squeeze out in corners like that, and it works beautifully!!! Love your videos!

I'm glad you kept the mistakes in the video. It's a good reminder to always run a scrap piece of wood through before using the high dollar exotics. Measure twice, cut once. It's a lesson we all need to remember right after always remembering safety.

[@jamesblack1942]

I really love watching your videos, it's helped me to realize what I want to do with my life. Which is to build like you. The fact that you shamelessly keep God involved in every aspect of it also inspiring. At the moment I only work leather, but once I can get settled somewhere and at the point financially, I intend to take up woodworking with the hopes of combining leather, wood and metalworking into a business similar to what you do. Thank you.

[@eddievangilder8081]

Hey Matt, those bb’s also help t alleviate rebound as the mallet strikes; just need to leave a small amount of air space in the cavity, i.e. don’t fill the hole all the way up with bb’s. You can actually buy a mallet with lose weights in it called a DEAD-BLOW hammer. A lot of farmers and truckers use them to beat on hopper bottom trailers to dislodge grain.

[@johnvodopija]

“Not making a clock” how true. I really appreciate the effort you made to share this video. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks 👍

[@sportstertaco]

Love the mallets!! Great stuff as usual. A couple tips that I have seen. I've done one but the other I have seen done. The first is to use a damp rag and an iron to get out the dents in the wood. The steam loosens the fibers and the dent will disappear. The second is to drill a hole at the end of your cut that your wedge will go into. That will keep the wood from splitting in the future.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you for the tips

[@thomasc5302]

Walnut does smell good when you cut it up. Awesome looking mallets. Can't wait to try to make my own

[@robharrison285]

Great mallets and well explained. Concerning the Ambrosia Maple, I’ve been told that it is maple that has been attacked by the Ambrosia Beetle and the fungus that it brings with it causes the color change. The holes are from those beetles. I agree with your 3 degree face angle. Another fine video!

LOVE this video. I have probably watched it or parts of it over a half a dozen times this past week while making my first set of mallets. I layered my BB’s with glue. Like 3-4 layers of BB’s and glue. I still ended up hearing one or two roll around. I will try starting with a layer of glue first next time.

[@731Woodworks]

I got suggestions to use CA glue, but some say it's best if they are loose inside, because that is what creates the dead blow effect

From one brother in blue to another - thank you for honoring our fallen but never forgotten. Also, a tip for the clamping dents- get an old clothes iron, put a small drop of water on the dent then cover with a damp towel. hit the clothe with hot iron....the steam will lift the fibers and the dent will vanish!

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks for the tips

[@dennissosnovske5879]

With the BBs, make the hole a little larger (a third hole in the center would be good) then fill about 80% with the BBs or lead shot (better). Don’t glue it and let the shot slide around and it becomes a dead blow mallet. The combination of maple and Purple Heart is very pretty. Whoever gets one of these will be very happy with it! I made one like this a few years ago (Inspired by Steve Ramsey at WWMM). I used maple and mahogany. I weighted it with lead solder (instead of BBs). I use it for beating on everything. It is not as pretty now, but it is useful.

[@731Woodworks]

thanks for the tips

[@andrewmurphy2688]

2 things 1st: you can use table salt(just a pinch) to hold things still while you clamp up your projects if you want to avoid using metal fasteners. 2nd: I found your page on a whim. I was looking info on how to market my woodwork, up pops this bald guy with a shirt that said "IRON" across the top with a couple of numbers below it (27:17). I was lost for a very long time and recently returned home. So in the course of my life I learned to pay attention to the road signs, because when I don't, God seems to make sure they course correct me when I run into them and knock the hair off my head as mild reminder. I guess what I am trying to say is Thank you

After getting a Purple Heart and getting retired from the Marine corps I’ve loved Purple Heart wood. It’s a very beautiful wood.

[@mmarsha9]

Thanks for the video, your honesty and realism give me the inspiration to attempt new projects. As a beginner woodworker, it's extremely difficult to not get frustrated when mistakes are made. I spent two hours in my shop last week messing with my extremely dated Craftsman Miter saw only to find out it will not cut square. It was extremely frustrating because I kept making adjustments and no matter what I did, it wasn't making square cuts. Thankfully, my Father told me he has been using his Radial Arm saw and hasn't been using his miter saw. So I was fortunate enough to have a giving Father. Keep up the videos and I think I will be trying to make some of my own mallets at some point because of this video!

Thank you. Glad the videos helped. Hang in there. The longer you do this the better tools you’ll be able to buy

I really appreciate your love for ambrosia maple. I worked at a custom cabinets shop for a few years in my early twenties. We only used ambrosia maple as paint-grade stock. It was the ugly duckling of the shop, valued only for the straightness and density of it's grain, but I have always loved it's unique look. There is beauty in it's imperfections. Also, it has a very distinct smell when you cut it, kinda sweet and floral.

Awesome, thank you!

I wanted to let you know I love doing some wood working but I don’t get much time to do it. My wife is running meetings and has become a president of an organization to do with her work and I wanted to make her a gift to commemorate her achievement and a mallet was a great idea. Thank you brother Matt I am in the end stages now

GREAT video sir. Love what you are doing with the tribute/honor projects. You are my new favourite woodworker... next to Steve Ramsey LOL. He was one of the first I started to follow and made me realize I can do this too. Thank you

You're a great guy.... Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks but also as a retired career firefighter, thank you for acknowledging our brother police officers who gave all!
