Making a mallet

Only hand tools woodworking - Simple Japanese style oak mallet. Sometimes you need a light hit, and you don’t always have a free hand to hit through the pad, so I decided to make a mallet with leather overlays. The handle is apparently made of sapele - a remnant of a parquet board. As always maple and walnut, the finishes are usually tung oil with carnauba wax.

Beautiful make. Can't beat the shearing sound of a well sharpened plane, the crunch of a perfectly weighted metal mallet on super sharp chisels and the sight of applying oil finish to complimentary coloured woods. Combine that with steady, confident & purposeful actions you get a perfect project video. Superb a pleasure to watch

[@vksubra1953]

🇮🇳 Great job. I like the unhurried way you work.

[@dodgersfnshepard8673]

Thank you! Still green and havent found a round mallet video for inspiration, until this. A+ sir

[@glenngonzalez2647]

And all without a lathe. Perfection! These videos are so relaxing and inspiring.

[@jeremywalker666]

Ya know? With your joinery skills, and access to beautiful hardwoods. Assuming you have all your basic hand tools. Even if you don't, you can plan accordingly. I'd say it's high time to make your own H.O. Studley tool cabinet. I'd certainly like to see it.

Уже несколько месяцев подписан на канал. Всякий раз передергивает, когда вижу как рубанок кладут на стол всей подошвой. Разве это не портит лезвие? Просто, однажды давно в дедушкиной мастерской вот так положил рубанок на стол и "получил по шее".

[@cliomania_history]

Отвечу, если позволите. Я соглашусь, что поставив рубанок всей подошвой можно попортить заточку лезвия. Но! Лезвие - это не главное в рубанке. Главное - это геометрия подошвы и целостность колодки. Поэтому рубанок нужно ставить так, чтобы именно колодка не пострадала, например, от случайного падения. А к лезвию отношение такое: если не лень постоянно править его - ставь всей подошвой. Если хочется пореже его править - то можно его ставить на стружку (а раз уж вы работаете рубанком, то она точно есть на верстаке), на коврики, на пробку, на свес над верстачным лотком (если он есть). В общем - кому как нравится. Главное (как мне кажется) - металлический рубанок лучше не класть на бок: слишком маленькая площадь, гораздо легче его зацепить и, например, нечаянно уронить.

He’s placing a very high quality and very sharp metal blade on wood. How is that going to ruin it? Unless he places it by accident on something hard like metal then there’s nothing to worry about.

[@norbertdecker4636]

A great design which the old vikings already used. The handle is bigger on the top end and the harder you hit the tighter the fit gets. Great!

[@airnashville3883]

Nice job. I'm the person who asked about your BMI tape measure and I bought one. It's been great. Now, I've admired that Clifton long enough. Even though I own a fleet of high end hand planes I just ordered a 5&1/2 Clifton to add. You may want to consider a merch portal where you would earn some of what people like me are paying to get tools we see you use. Thanks again.

[@williamn01]

Did you get the 5 1/2 ?

[@airnashville3883]

Yes, I'm very happy with it and prefer it to my LN and Veritas planes@@williamn01

Really beautiful work, Yurii! Amazing looking mallet!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Классная работа. Юрий, молодец!👍

[@gr_woodworking]

Спасибо 😉

[@ArchEdge]

Great Job. I noticed that you dont have soft-jaws on your bench vise. If you use ply to line both jaws, there is a product called "Crubber" you face them with (or leather) and it helps grip objects without damaging them.

[@melindajohnson3394]

The beauty of this mallet is its simplicity - and elegance. I see a tiny version of this one being crafted soon. Are you this skillful diapering a squirming baby yet?

[@kevinjones9382]

Keep it up! These videos are inspiring!

Hey would you be able to do a tool over view for what you use? I’m trying to get started

your work is fantastic, I'm a beginner and I'd like to know what kind of wood are you using in this video? thank you so much

My guess is oak snd some nut

The head is oak, the handle sapele.

[@tinkertoiler744]

What is in the tin for lubricating the plane sole?

[@peanuttoe6115]

Oil soaked rag I believe

[@DeeegerD]

A stick in a stick.

[@timothymallon]

You spent a lot of time squaring up the wood, and using a smoothing plane on it to make it have a silky finish, but then you went and made it round. Why didn't you just make it round from the start and skip the whole squaring and smoothing bit?

[@peanuttoe6115]

Makes layout for the mortise and finding the centre for the circle much simpler and more accurate so everything runs in line if that makes sense

[@timothymallon]

@@peanuttoe6115 Yeah I can see that.

[@keithwuckert]

[@robohippy]

Well, a couple of things I would have done differently.... On cutting the head blank out, I would have lined up my saw cuts with the grain, essentially as close as I could get to actually riving a head blank out. The final product doesn't seem to have much cross grain in it though, at least less than I was expecting. I have multiple wood lathes, so I would have turned the final form on the lathe. As for the leather ends, I have no clue as to how well the wood glue will hold up. I would have gone with rubber cement/Barge. It does not dry rigid. It does look nice though.

[@MattBarry1]

Mallet. Making a mallet, not a mullet. Boy that could have been a weird video. I need to get my eyes checked.

[@melindajohnson3394]

😂

[@MCsCreations]

A mullet with hand planes? That I would pay to watch!

[@Painless61]

Because he made a mistake in the title of the video, are you making an uprising here? What's wrong with you? Make it better and write the title of your video in Ukrainian... Let's see who laughs then

[@MattBarry1]

​@@Painless61 Calm your tits old timer. I'm dyslexic and when I first read it, I thought it said mullet. Thats why I thought it was funny. Others got the joke but you must be the pessimistic type e thug poking your nose where it doesn't belong. I'm sorry they didn't teach humor or internet manners in your one room school school house.
