Homemade Soft Faced Mallet - Scrapwood Challenge Episode Sixteen

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
Since I started the scrapwood challenge I’ve been asked many times to make a tool. It makes sense as that’s what I enjoy doing. Camphor laurel isn’t the best wood for a mallet as it’s not that dense but for a weighted, soft faced mallet it will be fine!
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

There's a million mallet videos out there, but I've never seen rolled up leather plugs like that. That's a brilliant idea! Well done.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Try putting the oil in a spray bottle - heat and spray, heat and spray to build up the coating I have used this method on cooking spits and squirrel cookers to protect the steel and keep it food safe. ATB

[@brandonb65]

Pask: I needed a private airplane, and I'm really excited to have made this one with a bandsaw, four screws, and 2 Rolls Royce engines. This guy is an insane craftsman. Much respect.

[@joefaulkner8358]

Very nice build. Appreciate how you demonstrated all of the steps and incorporated high speed play to move things along. Love the mallet

[@Tailss1]

No annoying music or editing, just brilliant creations. Subbed xD

[@shackman9566]

Yes I agree no annoying music just good content.

[@Bikeeast]

The attention to detail like mortising the head to fit the shoulder of the handle is fantastic. It makes it look so much more finished. Great video, and I have really enjoyed this whole scrapwood series. Cheers from Canada.

[@TheSteveAS]

Beautiful project Neil! You work with humble, common materials, but your finished projects are anything but common! Truly inspiring to watch you work. Cheers!

[@markforrestsm]

Neil, you are an absolute craftsman! Huge respect for what you do, the imagination and skill..

[@derekpeterson8005]

Beautiful craftsmanship as always. Thank you for sharing your time and talent!

[@Aardrijk1]

I love the craftsmanship and detail you exhibit with each and every video. I learn something each and every time.

[@khiggins08]

Fantastic build. I learned several things in this video alone. Thank you.

[@AlanNeedsFriends]

I love the double wedges on top! A small detail that makes a world of difference

[@LA2047]

Man I just LOVE watching these with the time lapse effect. Something about the sounds is soothing. Go figure!

[@triune_blades]

I agree! I'd rather hear the shop sounds than most music people usually add in their videos.

[@ashleybolding_]

yes! he's such a good editor. I keep being surprised at how well he does with every project but even the video, sounds and editing process.

[@bobb.3023]

Wood, leather and metal put together beautifully with fine craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing!

[@phbrinsden]

Ok, 462 disliked this video. I can’t even imagine who would find something to give this a thumbs down. Very nice and creative work starting with scrap wood. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing your talent and ideas.

[@PDX53]

Great job! I always enjoy your videos & seeing "waste" turned into something useful is an added bonus.

[@alansciascia4500]

I love your work. Great end result, fabulous craftmanship

[@JohnSmith-mv6bw]

This isn't a tool....it's art. A masterpiece, if I may say so.

[@FishersShop]

Had no idea the linseed oil and heat could leave a patina like that on metal. That's awesome! Great job, Neil! Looks amazing!

[@ArcaneTinker]

Just like a cast iron frying pan.

[@bymitten1]

Any metal? Brass too?

[@ArcaneTinker]

@@bymitten1 you've seen door handles or cabinet hardware sold in the color "oil-rubbed bronze"? That color comes from a time when oil was rubbed on hot bronze to get a color similar to that. It won't be black, but it will be dark. Try it on a chunk of brass next time! Keep in mind that any oil rubbed hot finish is just that, it's cooked/polymerized oil on the surface and it will wear off with abrasion, just like paint will.

[@samueltrachsel8986]

Always pleased to watch your work !! Just Woaw !!

[@bymitten1]

@@ArcaneTinker thanks for the informative reply! I made a chess set out of stainless steel and brass (for contrasting pieces). After watching the patina being applied to the rings, I thought I could do that to the brass chess pieces! I have a few extra so I'll try it and see if I like it.

[@davidlovell4390]

Scrapwood Challenge, the gift that keeps on giving! Another excellent project. Thank you Mr P.

[@scottsimpey2965]

Great job again Neil. Keep them coming. I have seen all of your scrap wood challenge videos so far and have enjoyed them all.

[@glenngoodale1709]

I come here for every new video! You express excitement that myself and many others are feeling. I checked out your pictures.. they are great !

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Glenn - glad you liked the photos! :)

[@Shaftmonde]

Beautiful work. Love the high-speed sound effects.

[@Icanfigureitoutintime]

Good God he sanded the wedges smooth! This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. You're a master of your craft man.

[@Hubilicious90]

What do you mean, I don't get it

[@eiward]

This is absolutely brilliant. And a true piece of art.

[@whitedoggarage]

Really liked the video, you are always doing little things like the charring of the wood and blackening the steel that makes it so interesting. You seem to find an endless list of things to do for the scrapwood challenge, which must be stretching you as well. Thanks again Neil.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks mate - glad you enjoyed it! I've got a few ideas left, I'll have to see if I can keep coming up with more! ;)

[@johnvaldez8830]

WOW! That was amazing. I really learned a lot about wood tool making in your short video. I really liked everything you did. You did a great job with the head and attaching the handle right down to leather inserts. It's a beautiful and functional tool worthy of the craft.

[@chaplainand1]

Thanks. It looks like it would feel great in the hand, ready to work. Blessings to you and yours always.

[@ulgroktheorc]

Love the details like the little recess/shoulder where the handle is inserted! Your skills and attention to detail amaze me everytime!

[@ravenken]

Really enjoyed that. The pace and instructions are spot on.

[@Rick_Bagnall]

Nice Job! I really like the style and design. The choice to char the head and leave the handle natural is perfect!

[@oxmanagain]

A well-made video, the editing was fantastic. I look forward to seeing some more of your creations. Thanks for your time.

[@brucematthews6417]

I really love your scrap wood series. There's been a lot of great small projects presented in this series. Both tools like this mallet and items for use around the home like the stools you did. Keep them coming!

[@hshanoo]

It is a beautiful masterpiece! Realy. The form, shape, color, everything!

[@carolewarner101]

A beautiful and valuable tool that you'll use for years to come. Outstanding!

[@williamjplummer1486]

You Sir are a consummate Craftsman. Thank you. It just shows what can be achieved with time and patience to.

[@Riovientoselva]

Really beautiful. Amazing work. Greetings from Perú.

[@theinternetthug]

Hands down the nicest mallet I've ever seen!

[@jimsjacob]

That was great! I didn’t know which way you were going, so it kept me intrigued. Thanks for sharing!

[@toddalligood5891]

Amazing work. That kind of skill is a dying breed. Love it.

[@danielwillits2173]

Craftsmanship and videography of the highest standard. An absolute joy

[@christophermaurer1271]

A joy to watch you create.

[@robshamel3210]

Awesome! Really beautiful work.. Thanks for posting.

[@JeanLoupRSmith]

I'm not typically a fan of the charred wood look but in this case I really like the contrast with the light handle, it has this old barrel look which works really well.

[@BruceAUlrich]

I think I'm right there with you...usually, I don't like the charred look. It worked in this instance!

[@taunteratwill1787]

We're all so happy with that!

[@TheMainlinehobo]

Now that's craftsmanship! Just beautiful!

[@AkbarVsTheMachines2]

the craftsmanship that went in to this was satisfying to watch

[@DanGamble]

Love this technique! I never occurred to me before but I remember seeing these in my school wood shop. You know... with the wrapped leather. I'll definitely need to make one now!

[@Ace-nq4cp]

I've watched all your videos, several twice, and esthetically this is my favorite.

[@sosrob8085]

Absolutely beautiful and thank you for your video!

[@fossiexe5406]

i love the scrap wood challenge! keep going with that. its awesome!

[@davel9015]

Beautiful tool. Really makes you want to hit something! Seriously, GREAT JOB.

Good Project. Nice mallet. Excellent video. Thanks for not including obnoxious music.

Every project gets better than the last! Love the contrast between head and handle. Great work 👌

YES!!! MAGIC!!! Love this heated lindseed oil technich! Amazing work mate! Cheers Neil!

What a lovely bit of craftsmanship

Good God! You are one of the most talented fabricators I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!

Interesting and relaxing to watch . And a inspiration for others . Nice one mate!

Wow Neil!...Excellent Results! Thanks for Sharing the process! I ALWAYS learn something new from your videos! Have A Super Week!.....Gus

[@MrRackinroll]

Very very nice. Detail Detail with class. I love it

[@jcknives4162]

Yea, I really enjoyed this project. I think I’ll build a couple of them. One as you did and one with more weight... lead... Great project.

HEY JEFF!! :)

Great workmanship! It is a joy watching you at your game!

[@JoaoManFerCardoso]

Amazing pask. Simply brilliantly made

[@finferliacolazione]

Interesting and glamour work. Good job.

For some reason the noises of sped up power tools is soothing to me.

Amazing craftsmanship. True artist at work.

[@onecreative1]

Amazing attention to detail! It really turned out nicely.

[@nikearth]

That's one sophisticated scrap wood mallet, sir. Interesting techniques and great looking.

This might be my new favorite project. The aesthetic is so good.

[@mikes1345]

Your scrapwood challenge videos are the most entertaining and informative of all the wookworkers i watch. Keep it up!

[@sdx1969]

Loved the attention to details, very well done mate. Definitely gonna add it to my to-do list. Cheers

Brilliantly done, enjoyed the video; a wonderful piece!

Great video as usual Pask. Already looking forward to next week!

[@skippylippy547]

Wow! I loved this video! What a unique Mallet - and I really enjoyed watching you make it. :)) Thank you.

[@JDnBeastlet]

Beautifully made. Thanks for the video!

[@909sickle]

I like your style. It's almost cartoon-like / surreal. I could imagine that mallet in a computer game or comic strip.

[@cameronflack2254]

That is a beautiful piece my friend. Beautiful. Neat idea with the washers too!

[@sebuteo]

Wow, swing that hammer, bro'! That's a real beauty. Love the charred head and blackened rings. Looks sooo cool! Great job.

[@sumosprojects]

Patience & Persistence Neil, great tool for super results 🍻👍👍👍👍👍

[@Benramin08]

Hey there! I just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I only started watching today but your scrap wood challenges are full of creativity and ingenuity and show your skill as a carpenter and maker. Keep up the good work!

[@BunchiMajul]

I really hope "scrapwood Challenger" never ends! Great stuff Pask 👍👍👍

[@howardjohannssen4607]

Nice job, I enjoy your talent and craftsmanship, thank you.

[@cwgoforth]

Exceptional! Thank you for making this video

[@kurtfattig9370]

I really like that you can make your own tools. I bought a leather hammer many many years ago when I was doing luthier work. It wasn't expensive. I still have it. But just buying one doesn't seem nearly as satisfying as it looks to make one yourself.

[@albreezie7731]

That looks great! Well done.
