...and another one become pay per view...

[@edwardl.2646]

watching your videos remind me of being a kid and watching the Old Yankee workshop

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Awesome! I really liked the fact that you went for the natural look with out sanding! At least that's how it seems!

[@kmonnier]

Beveling and finish work really makes it pop!

[@davelowe1977]

Some real art in that detail work. It's almost too nice to use!

[@googleaccount3555]

really nice, John. I like the little detail you put in with the chamfers!

[@JamesBiggar]

Great news!!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks James :)

[@drawlele]

Congrats on joining the Mob John, and I think it's awesome you've been adding more hand tools into your videos. They really are a joy to use. I lost 90% of my power tools in September when I lost my shop, I now have a small work space that I would never call a shop and I've decided that when I finally get to rebuild my shop will be mostly bv hand tools.

[@whirled_peas]

I really like the bevel details.

[@moc5541]

It's a traditional design. See "How to make a Joiners Mallet" on Paul Seller's channel.

[@thomasgronek6469]

thanks for a wonderful presentation, I will be making one, just one alteration. I will be leaving the natural curve under the bark, and add a curve similar to the one you added, to give it a semi-sphere top. Also, nice touch on the face. Once again, many thanks.

[@NICEFINENEWROBOT]

I made two of them mallets but only with pressed in handles. They like to fly off. Now I know how it's made. Thanks for the fun!

[@amankhalid3030]

Very satisfying work

[@MarkOhanesian]

This video inspires me to use more hand tools!

[@craigsudman4556]

Can't touch this...its hammer time! Thumbs up John.

[@chuckholton4666]

Beautiful Mallet John! Love the music too!

[@joeforster5503]

Very nice video John.

[@Grumpyneanderthal]

I’ve got a large slice of spalted hickory outside my shop that’s been calling for a purposeful life. Bingo!!

[@iannesbitt2986]

Simple but a thing of beauty and great craftsmanship of itself.

[@barstad-9591]

I love this beautiful mallet. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottharris6423]

I will build one these after seeing yours. Maybe 2!

[@MrBubbajohnson1]

Nice mallet .Thanks John

[@davebarnes6131]

brings back memories of my apprenticeship ,made 3 different sizes .Handles stuck out 35mm now almost flush

[@mrlankywelshman7296]

haven't been on this channel in a while, but really enjoying this hand tool vibe.

[@dannyhale7645]

Great video, John. I love the way you cut the chamfered edges. That was a nice touch.

[@SeahawkSailor]

Very nice project. The edge chamfers are a a great detail.

[@KackleHillHomestead]

Nice, thanks for sharing. I have a block of walnut that needs a handle and shaping

[@camlafrance4363]

Great work John! I have to make one now.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks! Good luck with yours :)

[@raymondjefferson6223]

I liked the small red plane u used also love the mallet

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for showing how and sharing that

[@DanielH]

I need one for my shop. Will try your design. 😉

[@andrewacton5885]

Still cant get over how awesome the tablesaw is

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@djAnakin]

Beautiful! And applying the finish at the end was so satisfying!

[@donaldmumaw]

Nice. Thanks for the video John.

[@jgriff19861947]

Very nice mallet you make every thing look easy even tho I know there is a lot of work put into it.

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Best of luck with the Makers Mob!!

[@jessjulian9458]

Another great build. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottsimpey2965]

Really nice looking mallet John. Best of luck with your new endeavors in the maker mob.

[@alexpettigrew8971]

A smashing good video! Thanks for sharing!

[@daverobinson6384]

It always makes me wonder why people dislike videos like this, I mean what could you possibly give a thumbs down for on this??

[@stormkhan4250]

Internet is full of trolls. They do it just because they can and because they can wilfully annoy people totally anonymously without any repercussions or consequences. Hmmm, sounds like a definition of coward... Depending on the content and who uploaded, could also be done because they were paid to do so. A competitor paying idiots to dislike videos and badmouth stuff...so common now.

[@lmnts556]

Forgetting to show the important part of fitting the hammer head to the handle.

[@KipdoesStuff]

I have wanted to make one of these for longer than I can remember. But, since I can barely remember yesterday, I'm not sure how long that is.

[@MyVinylRips]

Thanks for the video! Nice, little project, I'll use this video to make myself a mallet!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done John! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@JinNOSify]

This is awesome!!

[@frankbrown3047]

Very nicely done!! Finally an easy tutorial. Also, very generous and useful plans. Thank you

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Nicely detailed piece. Ready for a decade or more of use.

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thanks for the great video John. You are awesome dude! 👍😊

[@manuelmoreno5484]

Están muy buenos los videos. Soy carpintero de tiempo completo y e sacado muy buenas ideas de aqui

[@paulruud5804]

Love the cool chamfer!

[@aliasks6559]

Sweet little mallet

[@willybaetens4648]

Very nice job. Willy from Belgium. 👀👀👀

[@davidgagnon2849]

Beautiful!

[@lourias]

I made a small mallet from2 pieces of old dowel rods, one for the head,one for the handle! Drill an appropriately sized hole for the handle, then put a wedge in it to hold it in place.

[@SteveC38]

That's a great mallet John👍

[@juleskeslar5057]

Great video! Thank you for posting this tutorial.

[@athmostafa2462]

I like your new small mallet and love your Stanley block plane same as mine 😊 .

[@driesvanoosten4417]

Wow, even the zero clearance insert had to much clearance :-)

good job

[@Jmh1979]

Obviously nice craftsmanships. Yea I’d use a push stick no-ones above losing a finger. Or a 👍 as a lot of comments didn’t mention that part where your saw blade bound that wood. Glad you’re ok I’m assuming it’s 4 years later though!

[@andrewlees1749]

what was the scraping tool used for the handle?

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice looking mallet John! Thanks For sharing it with us' Merry Christmas!🎄🎁💖👌👍😎JP

[@Rezornch_and_Dvelenktronx]

EXCELLENT DESIGN! WHAT FINISH APPLIED? THANKS!!!

[@wfkkid13]

Great video, thank you for posting. Is there a reason to not Tung the inside of the mallet head and the handle?

[@jolox.]

Beautiful mallet! I'm going to try to make one! Thanks for this! I'm thumbing up and gonna subscribe to support your channel!

[@ibeattheleaves5005]

Does wood grain direction matter?

[@erichpaine7049]

thinking of using Crepe Myrtle for the head... thoughts?

[@hernanaguilera]

@2:04 the disk stopped spinning by itself?? How can it be? Great video as usual @John Heisz

[@turgin9098]

Great looking mallet and interesting project as always John. Thanks for making this content.

[@amarildoabrahao3258]

Muito bom gostei 👏👏👏👏👏 Brazil

[@ConorGallagher-l8m]

I love the way you put “hand tools” in the description and proceeded to use about $4000 worth of power tools

[@Andy-te6jj]

awesome

[@pools2]

Just updated my patron for 5$. I love your work. Keep it up!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks :)

[@msessa7054]

Is the closing music a version of Driving on 9?

[@kryptik0]

What was the finish applied at the end? You seemed to not mind touching it with bare hands, so may be some kind of mineral oil or wax?

[@jrkorman]

The mallet is very nice and simple. Good work! I wish you well with the "Mob" but the last I had looked it is way more expensive than I can justify. I've also noted that you can no longer find out how much it is to join, before you join! Sorry John, but I don't trust sites like this. If you're selling something, put the price out front. In addition - Exactly what are you supposed to do with the "stuff" on the "Mob" site - From the Terms and Conditions. "Permission is granted to temporarily download one copy of the materials (information or software) on Makers Mob's website for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not: modify or copy the materials; use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);" Based on that, I guess we're supposed to look at your stuff, say "Wow" and move on. According to that wording, one is not allowed to do anything with the material. I've already unsubscribed from Jessi's feed because it's just turned into commercials for the "Mob", hoping the same doesn't happen here. Sorry for the rant, but needed to vent!

[@KipdoesStuff]

It means, you can't make the stuff from the plan and sell it as your own. Stop reading so much into it.

[@jrkorman]

@@KipdoesStuff Sorry but I read "or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial)" as meaning I can't post a picture on Facebook, on my web page, or any other place that would be public! Also "modify or copy the materials", what do you think that means? Those terms are a legal document!

[@Balsamancnc]

@@jrkorman You can't display the materials (plans) publicly.

[@Heyalth]

i was waiting for one of those shavings to go flying as soon as i saw that table saw fire up

[@martindorrance8133]

Hello John. I was wondering why you finished the mallet when assembled rather than in two separate parts? Also, was the head made from spalted wood? Would spalted wood be too soft?

[@myRefuge3710]

Skillz

[@ЭдуардБахарев-к7х]

Надо про верстак показать система быстрого зажима супер🤔

[@scottwebster7613]

I always enjoy your videos. I made a couple mallet heads the other day out of hdpe. How did you come up with the 2 degree angle? Personal preference or based upon length of handle?

[@NickBarban]

Personal choice I reckon. Paul Sellers likes 7°

[@LostWhits]

That's a beautiful mallet, love the way the head can't fly away. I thought you declined your invitation to the makers mob? They must have really wanted your skillset. Best of luck with courses I'm sure they will do well.

[@MayTheLightBeWithYou]

Would it not be nice to have a very soft face to prevent damage to any wood you may knock on?

[@KipdoesStuff]

a soft face wouldn't last very long and the damage to the face could mar anything you use the mallet on. Its not for pounding, its for gently persuading.

[@Rufio6814]

You don't strike me as one who "plays well with others" but gl, hope it helps that cash flow!

[@fc_union76]

Alter, die Finger nicht so nah an das Sägeblatt 🫣. Ansonsten echt cooles Teil 😬👍🏻

[@o.g.bwoodwork]

In many ways this mallet is like Jessica Simpson. It’s simple and beautiful. 😂

[@csours]

5:30 Come in!

[@kmonnier]

Tap that!

[@mealex303]

Buy some carbide forsner bits they wont rub and burn

[@KipdoesStuff]

That is a very hard maple, its going to rub and burn, lol.

[@ChrisUhlik]

Those triangular bevels are strangely satisfying. You've got some sexy bevels there John.

[@tombabington2823]

When you were trimming the stock for the mallet head on the table saw, I was literally holding my breath! Cutting a very small piece of dense wood without support except your hands on a saw without a guard…! Not a good look for some, John! Anyway, nice job on the project, sir.

[@Scopt_7]

Me when i find a piece of stick and a pocket knife alone:

[@cydrych]

Anyone else wish he would have left the top as live edge?

[@maxximumb]

Why is there no price for the Makers Mob on the web site? How much does it cost? I don't want to waste time filling in forms with my info if I can't afford it. Also any time a company isn't forthcoming with a price, It makes me think there is something shady going on. If everything is legitimate, why hide the cost? Surely they think the service is worth it. Also will we see less videos from our favourite makers on KZbin as they're busy with Makers Mob? I understand they need to make money, just asking the question.

[@JohnHeisz]

The link is just to the free plans sign up, not the main site. There's nothing fishy going on, I can assure you - I would NOT direct viewers to anything like that. Visit the main site for all of the details: www.joinmakersmob.com/

[@KipdoesStuff]

@@JohnHeisz lol, thanks John, been seeing a few posts complaining about cost, I knew there was a reason. They were too lazy to click on the main site. LOL

[@peterdowning2525]

@@JohnHeisz Even at that link, no price without giving name and email address. Yes, looked over the entire site. Even tried to google. What I have found is several folks asking, no one being given an answer. Why not just be clear? Not claiming the site is fishy, just agreeing with the above that the price is kept pretty hidden.

[@peterdowning2525]

Went ahead and gave them my email. For those that care, $19.95 a month, $199 a year.
