Making Thor's hammer, Mjolnir

This hammer turned out way better than I imagined. Its an amazing thing to hold and to just look at. It brings a huge smile to my face and to me, is on par with the wooden chopper bike.
This hammer isn't actually intended to be used as a mallet, instead it will go on display for all to enjoy.

“Cool Hammer!” -Rufus Schinbein, Aged two and three quarters; guess that’s a seal of approval Vic!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

yay, cant get any better than that. Thanks mate

[@gatekeeperart]

great mallet vic, you could be the next thor in the movies came up really nice

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

haha, not sure about that Daniel but thanks very much mate.

[@Nedswoodworks]

Well I have seen some beautiful mallets on the tube mate and Instagram but if this is not a winner I will stand rootin!! You certainly go above and beyond when you put your mind to it Vic. This is a bloody ripper mallet mate. Well done!!! 🍻 🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Dave, glad you liked it mate. I think you should be a judge for the challenge 🤣

[@Nedswoodworks]

Mate if I was a judge I would vote for mine but can be bribed easy…. 😂😂😂.

Nice work Vic. The smell of cedar still takes me back 40 years as an apprentice

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

same for me mate but i think of lead pencils at school

[@twotone3070]

I liked the 'not' special effects, nice bit of set up and editing.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate. i really enjoyed that process

[@Thom4123]

Vic this hammer came out absolutely incredible, beautiful work.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Thom, i'm very happy with it

[@markbryan9989]

Nice! I think you would have fit right in with the Vikings with that. Really enjoy all your videos. Thanks Vic!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Haha, thanks very much Mark

[@wharfrat360]

That's killer! And, never let anyone kill that smile!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate and wise words

[@longsplinter-paul]

After seeing your comment about the performance of this video, I watched it again. I still think it is a ripper build and a great video.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Paul. For me, this is on par with the bike build regardless of how the video performs.

[@e.dbogan6266]

Really nice! I like the accents on the handle, and the head is massive! Thanks guy!

[@Tinker1950]

Are you talkin' dirty?

Thank you very much. i managed to work out the flying hammer bit 🤣

[@glencrandall7051]

Very well done. Nicely embellished. Massive. 👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

thanks very much Glen, it was my pleasure.

[@shaneconlan6227]

Mate.....don't know how l missed this one!....What an Epic Project!! Well done mate 👍👍😁🇦🇺......Straight to the Pool Room for this one l reckon 👍👍

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate, you can understand how i was excited and confident about this one. You're right about the 'pool room'. When i was talking about what i was going to do with it my wife was very quick to say that it should go on the wall in our movie room 😁

[@shaneconlan6227]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks There's your next project mate...a really cool display case for the Beast 👍👍

[@cobberpete1]

Something to crack the walnuts with LOL. Looks great. Well done

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

ha, great idea mate. That would make a great video. Thanks Peter

[@wallytrinc9885]

Congratulations mate ! your hammer (THOR). ,, clearly the best I've seen on KZbin by a country mile ! very inspiring video for woodworking enthusiasts ✅

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you very much Wally, that’s a wonderful compliment.

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Now that's a hammer! 😍 Looks great, and the inlays worked marvelously!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

[@CartersShed]

Looks bloody fantastic Vic. Great job. A very cool project.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Wow Vic that came out freakin unreal mate ! What an epic project ⚒⚒

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much mate, glad you loved it

[@karenstimson2683]

Super build video! Amazing piece.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you very much Karen

[@Vipun_ch]

amazing build mate! and the animation, nice! Really loved the use of different materials to you used to get the details!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Vipun. The intro isn't an animation, it was done very 'old school'. i think i'll do a video on how i did it

[@Vipun_ch]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks yeah that’d be interesting, it’s been a while since I’ve done any camera work so it’ll be fun to remind myself the old school…

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

Looks awesome!!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Great job mate, the inserts look cool

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Yeah thanks mate, they did work out really well.

[@amolpophale]

Awesome! It came out too good. I like the PVC jig idea to make rings 👌

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate, you can see and hold the real thing anytime.

[@stirlingwoodcraft]

Great job vic, the whole thing looks really nice

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks Peter

[@NomadMakes]

Loved the intro :D And the hammer turned out great. Glad to see I am not the only one cutting up household leather objects for my projects. Cheers.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

I do too mate, its my favourite video moment of all my videos. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@meawayfromhome]

Hi Vic, looks awesome, job well done indeed.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Philip

[@FixitFingers]

Holy Crapskis so epic Vic! I had a similar but different hammer intention for the challenge, but time was not on my side. I still will do it, but it won't in ready for the end of the challenge. This one needs a share around, so cool!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks James, I’m pretty chuffed about it. Maybe you could still make your entry anyway and give us another video to watch

[@FixitFingers]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks Oh I will tag it even if it takes me a year :P I shared the video around a few facebook groups too ;)

[@richragan4810]

you're amazing Vic. As usual and thank you for the editing and sharing. Peace out! Rich

Nice work mate 😮

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@WildWoodsAustralia]

That’s one epic hammer!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much mate, i tend to agree 😁

[@woodfather]

You were supposed to build a mallet Vic, not a bloody sledgehammer! Also, love that intro!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

haha, thanks mate. i love the intro too. i think i should stop watching it over and over now.

[@MrHarddriven]

Very cool.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks mate

[@JohntheSchreiner]

That came out great! Good idea going with the laser for the engravings. I was curious how that was going to go from the thumbnail.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Totally agree mate, they look fantastic. My original idea was to engrave them by hand with my Dremel. Glad i didn't attempt that.

[@JohntheSchreiner]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks It probably would have been ok for the first one or two, but by the 8th I would never want to hand engrave again, haha!

[@MrSim0n]

yet another fantastic project how do you come up with these ideas. absolutely brilliant.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Simon. I’ve actually had this idea for a few years and Scott’s mallet challenge gave me the reason to finally do it

[@michaelszyjka565]

Very nice. Looks fantastic. Do use use a wagner electric sprayer?

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Yes mate, its the W550. its an old model, I've had it for years and its fantastic. i think the W100 is the current equivalent of it.

[@mcmenacefpv6353]

amazing video and build , do you mind if i ask what were the rings you used in those GENIUS MOLDS?

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thank you very much. The rings were just sections cut off the PVC pipe to make rings

[@mcmenacefpv6353]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks yeah I rewatched and caught it thanks so much. I'm adapting your ring gig to work with a slide hammer to pinch rings around a leather wrapped handle I was spinning my wheels on that one until I found this. And again your craftsmen ship on that hammer was very inspiring Thank you

[@mickboyd194]

Nice project mate!If you don't mind,I do have a question about your table saw.I have the exact same saw,and have a problem with the front handle for raising and lowering the blade.The tightening screw tends to tighten up when least expected.I took it to bits and noticed the shaft is very short,unlike the 45 Degree shaft on the side.Not enough room to engage the nut,and seemingly needs to be longer.Have you experienced the problem at all?Thanks Mick.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks Mick. I have not had any issues with the blade lowering handle, mine has worked fine the whole time. i did, however, have an issue with the blade tilting handle. the locking screw on mine has never worked since i bought it and i've tried to fix it.

[@mickboyd194]

@@DownUnderWoodWorks Thanks mate.Same problem,different handle.

[@TheLizzardlicks]

i'll bet ya very thore esc hehehe after that 1 love it mate

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Haha, thanks very much mate

[@charltonlackay4995]

Never thought hearing millimeters instead of 3 quarters of an inch would be so satisfying, most projects searched for are always the guys far west 🤣🤣

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Ha, thanks Charlton. MM all the way

[@Dr_Footbrake]

I actually want to make a dead blow version of this (minus the finest details haha)

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

That would be cool mate.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

It's a little small, but it might serve as a mini Mahler's Hammer.

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

How cool. i just googled it, what an awesome instrument.

[@BenHollist]

Now it is Dainer Turn to make one , as he is a Wooden hammer guru 🤣

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

True mate but i think this will be a one of a kind

This is EPIC Sir Victor ☝️👏 mate not only the winning entry into the #kustomgritmalletchallenge but also something that’ll be in your Tool arsenal Forever, another Masterclass video mate 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍👍

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks very much Dirk, I really appreciate your constant support mate. Unfortunately, the judges didn’t share your views mate but it’s still awesome.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

It's not how big it is, it's how you use it. Can you even swing that thing big fella? 🤣🤣

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

true mate. i'm not game to swing it too much, probably break my wrist 🤣

[@wiseoldfool]

Ripper!

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Thanks Barry

[@paulstrange8607]

Disappointed you didn’t do the decorations by hand

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

My original thoughts were to do them by hand with a Dremel but that was just going to be too much work
