It’s so lovely to see you make this using mostly hand tools instead of mortice cutters and cnc machines ect... takes $50k worth of machinery just to knock out something simple! You are a true craftsman in every sense of the word and it’s a pleasure to watch you work.

[@busybee3817]

i agree

[@mikedrop4421]

I love how you take something as utilitarian as a mallet and show that craftsmanship, attention to detail and quality can produce a piece of art.

[@robinsonhandmade2997]

Kai E. has it right in so many ways. The Samurai has inspired me to really go for it, make stuff, for the joy of it. but as Kai E. has said you cant eat the joy, you cant take sellter under joy. Samurai you got it right! you have shown me its possable to make a living at a craft. keep going and thank you for what you have done for me.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

You should post videos of your work.

[@HenryPiffpaff]

To all of you who say that it's bad that he goes for money instead of his passion: *you can't live off of passion.* You can't trade it for food, you can't trade it for rent, you can't even pay a hooker with it. So apparently *you* didn't notice, that *HE IS INDEED CHASING HIS PASSION: MAKING WOODWORKING A LIVING!* Isn't that the dream? But unless some of you write him a check every month you should stop whining cause he can't live off of your tears either.

[@jac_builtWoodworks]

Well said.

[@danielthompson2353]

You can't keep viewers (and therefore money) if you don't please them...just saying

[@milesj.943]

$20 a month for an online forum though? Seems like a money grab to me.

[@joecharmasson]

Dude! Keep doing whatever you need to do. This video was awesome. I'm a seasoned woodworker and still enkoyed watching you make something so simple and yet so elegantly done. Ignore the haters. Having said that, your audio levels are all over the place. I'm watching on a tablet, in bed, and raising and lowering volume trying to hear you speak and not wake up the Fun Management Officer next to me with the music. ;)

[@badboyvids1]

wow reading the comments and sad to hear some don't understand. mates you will piss out 20 bucks a month on beer and starbucks. this is an inexpensive education you can build on and make money down the road. yes he needs to make a living we all knew that going in. im an avid woodworker and I have made a wonderful living on woodworking before joining. I joined to learn the different details and techniques. what im saying is your never too old or young to learn no matter how free or not it is. content like this is priceless. the cost of education and designs and drawings is worth it alone. this is samurai and I approve this message. lol all kidding aside its worth it.

[@TheBearGrylz]

I have yet to see this dude with any lumber that isn’t perfect. Props. Lot of prep work goes in to every piece he rips or notches.

[@ericrickert3045]

The most basic component of wood-working is creating. Why not create and use some of your own tools! Yes, you can easily go buy a wooden mallet, but why not make one and then love what you make! Beautiful!

[@ChestnutnagsToolsFromJapan]

Interesting textured finish.

[@declankell597]

Love your videos, how about a guide \ walkthrough about some of the basic tools you should get for starting out ?

[@acanadianwoodworker]

What's the name of the gouge used to create the texture in the mallet head?

[@tonyweaver2353]

This channel is always so satisfying.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

[@seanwhitaker975]

What if this is my first wooden mallet how do I hammer the wedges in without another wooden mallet!!!?

thats what i was thinking.

[@lbhunter6341]

i finally got that hand saw and i have now my carving tools yay

[@johnalexander2349]

I for one appreciate the new and improved, less whining, more woodworking samurai.

[@anaphylastiks]

Thanks for this. It's my fathers birthday and he loves tools, but has almost everything. He doesn't have a wood mallet. And i have some nice wood to build one. NZ Manuka handle and Australia jarra hardwood for the head.

[@andreasabele6942]

I could watch mallet making videos all day long! But every time i see one i have to make one... so you can imagine how much wooden mallets i have... by the way, great video :D

[@jd1399]

What is that bench dog screw clamp called? never seen one before. looks very useful

[@scotthixson5917]

Awesome craft once again Jesse!!

[@VORONM]

Very nice tool! Respect.

[@lbhunter6341]

Pretty straight forward...great looking mallet!

[@TheBearGrylz]

Congrats on the school. Love your work.

[@christophercraftery8369]

Good to see you back in action, Samurai! I enjoyed the video, which came at a great time for me as I just failed miserably at making my first mallet lol. Looking forward to your next video. Hope you and the family are doing well.

[@andrewlaceepaxton9916]

What is your choice of wood for handles and mallet heads? I assume strong hardwood for handles, but soft or hard wood for the head?

[@aaronfu2]

I really, really like 'The Samurai Mullet' beautiful work! Oh, good job on the wooden hammer too :D

[@travsb1984]

I have been watching your videos lately and have really liked you mix of styles and techniques. I started out with Japanese saws until I could afford to buy quality push saws which cost WAY more and require much more effort to become proficient and require way more maintenance. I have started to revisit my pull saws due to your videos and have been surprised with how quickly I can produce quality results with them.

[@DominusFeles]

What's the brand of the round carpenters mallet with rubber (?) on that you use some times. It's peaking up in the lower left of the screen in the end of this video 🙂

[@CogentConsult]

Forgive me, a novice, for asking this stupid question, but: what type of wood did you use for the head of the mallet?

[@dougjb7848]

Why no relief holes (or whatever they’re called) at the base of the slots for the wedges?

[@budwoodman1716]

my thought exactly.

[@baa-austria]

not necessary because of the size...

[@jasdel]

What's a good rule for when they are needed?

[@haysmandesigns286]

Ooohhhh, that’s lovely that is. Like the scalloped head detail, nice 👌

[@robg836]

what kind of marking square are you using?

[@leviroseii4251]

Hey man I was wondering if you ever finished that suite/office above your shop. Either way would love to get an update on it

[@benfox9382]

Nice - love the curved handle, very organic. Need to build a handle for a Japanese hammer head I got off Etsy and this gives me some ideas. Cheers!

[@SzczepanRachwal]

Just wondering, why first sanding then chiseling surface - chisels don't like it. You could round the head with chisels or plane, without any problem.

[@dougbeach7299]

Always love watching your videos between you and Paul Sellers I am inspired to use hand tools. @3:45 you're using a mallet to make a mallet!?! How was the first mallet made?!?

[@cdouglas1942]

First mallet made with a rock.

[@danielpowell8546]

What breed of wood is the head of the mallet made from?

[@marcocolombo8905]

What kind of wood it is?

[@MrAllanstevns]

Kan you also make a knight mallet for woodworking? Or what about a hussar mallet? That would be cool. Or maybe expand it further to other professions like an accountant mallet, a scribe mallet or a philosophers mallet.

hey! beautiful mallet and craftsmanship! thanks for the video :) i'm a beginner, and i had a question about glue - is it really needed when you are using the wedges like that?

[@davidjacobs8558]

I would make the mortise wider and tenon thicker. don't want to reduce the thickness of tenon too much from the shaft, because it will snap there.

[@lebronjordan802]

U rock Samurai 👊!

[@SeikoXIII]

Where the hell have you been in my life bruh?!?!?! Awesome channel!

[@fixrite11]

nice job....thanks for sharing

[@mrackerm5879]

Nice Spoke Shave - who makes that one. I like the long handles.

[@joseygarbutt4557]

I love that texture

[@ndog234]

Bro... I NEED help! I have to mortise a face frame stile into a 4×4 leg that tapers down into 3×3. I have already drawn it in TurboCad and know the depth of the mortise. How do I go about making the jig for my plunge router? How do I get in touch with you so we can brainstorm? You've been my idol since I started watching your videos three years ago. You've really inspired me to challenge my craftsmanship.

[@ndog234]

I have my drawing and would love to send it to you so you can see what I'm talking about.

[@christophertaylor87]

Types of wood for the different parts?

[@nosefirst]

You work so fast!

[@williambilbray1334]

What's the background music?

[@clancyi]

It’s a beauty! What woods did you use please??

[@baa-austria]

Handle should be black nut, the mallet head looks maple. Wedges are some exotic wood, bubinga or such red stuff...

[@B1ghern]

Can you please post and update on your house

[@marcofg81]

Great job... you are the best carpenter!!!! what's the name of this song?

[@keirfarnum6811]

Can’t wait to meet the “Ninja Woodworker” next. My guess is he won’t be so “out there” though; probably will only work from the shadows.

[@heyimamaker]

Looks awesome!

[@chado468]

Hello!! im a new woodworker making stuff out of calgary alberta. I would love to create a narrative here maybe between Alberta woodworking and bc?

[@mikepeterson3411]

Looks very nice!! Have you taken some art classes? the projects that you do all seem to have that little extra flair that sets you apart form others.

[@cdouglas1942]

I can it "the eye" and I don't have it.

[@moisesrobles7884]

Simple and nice

[@twagner6155]

Though your mallet was cute w/ the walnut handle, I can't use cute. If it was bigger and made of hard maple it would have been useful. Walnut is soft and the grain pores make it prone to breaking.

[@-_popengut_]

it's a beauty

[@kenmckay194]

I suspect most of the viewers are young (ish). I consider Samurai young too but wise and talented, mostly talented though. Skill is acquired and it can help to watch someone who actually has skill get a job done. There were at least fifty examples to learn from in this video that a few squeaky wheels are whining about. Take a block of maple and texture it by hand with a...well you pick the tool, but he used a fishtail gouge, and you will likely see a big failure. Things that he makes look easy are not and require too many things to list. But watching is priceless.

[@a0flj0]

Every time a professional does something that looks easy, regardless of the particular profession, you can bet it's not at all easy. A professional makes it look easy because he's done the same operations thousands of times before, and as such has developed the routine to do it nearly perfect each time. No bloody beginner will be able to pick up a tool and get something done perfectly from the get go. But, at least, watching someone do it gives you a starting point.

[@joecharmasson]

Much talent he has. Wisdom not so much. To be humble he must learn. Only then will, wisdom come.

[@benembleton8325]

Oh sweet! I thought you stopped doing KZbin for the online school.

[@monabale8263]

besides seeing the great projects get made, my 2nd & 3rd favorite thing to watch here; -the execution of perfect 90 degree angle cuts with a hand saw. (wow) -and the hands doing the work.

[@Lazywatchsmith]

Awesome!

[@shantanarain2841]

I do also miss the samaria but in order to operate a shop successfully u need some sorta income in order to focus on wut you love to do and if that means still getting KZbin content for free on the side then hey I'm here man and I have two kids and a small shop in order for me to focus on my shop I defeniately would not have anytime for KZbin barely have the time to get down there and get work done now with my kids miss my shop but I understand samarai u want the fans but also wanna make that cheddar do you blame the samarai homies common this free content on a mallet is fresh!!!!

[@paulobrys9202]

very well

[@xxxdxmxfxxx]

Jesse, does there need to be a taper at the top of the mallet head hole to accomodate the spread of the handle?

[@cdouglas1942]

The wedged spread of the handle end is to keep the head on the handle. A non-tapering hole allows the wedges to mechanically jam the handle to the head...they become inseparable.

He's a craftsman first, videographer second. Thumbs up for the content and overlook the production issues. :)

Actualy the quality of the videos changed after he got a videomaker helping him. Always thumbs up for him, but the style had a big twist after that. I beleave it is a valid point to highliht
