Making A Simple Mallet - Lathe Turning Project

I wanted to make a simple carving mallet, to be used for controlled chisel action and maybe one day, engraving. This is a simple wood turning project on the lathe.
Usually these are made completely from wood, so they don't harm the chisel handles, but I don't carve that often and chisel handles are easy to make on the lathe anyway.
The metal head allows it to have a nice weight in a small frame. A brass mallet could be made to have the same effect, and also be more gentile on the stuff you hammer on with it.

Amazing project - just leave out the decorative "stress raisers" on the handle: they transform a modern, elegant design into what looks like a re-purposed chair leg ... I would know, as I am a chair maker by trade and this is how we made our mallets back in the day!

Great idea. I have a bunch of large hex nuts lying around. The lighting in this video is really good, what do you use?

[@TheSmallWorkshop]

Thanks! I use the same lights and camera as in my previous 3 videos, Panasonic G80/G85. Only difference is that this time it was full manual mode, while in previous videos it was aperture priority and the camera decided the lighting. Even though I used +3 steps exposure compensation it still was too dark... This time I like the way the video looks, but I overexposed a few shots. I need a bit more experience.
