A COMPLETED Prototype - The Mallet Trilogy (3/3)

[@JimtheEvo]

Watching Matt ride the struggle bus makes me feel so much better about my own constant fight to do woodworking without dropping or misplacing every item.

[@SANGERA2]

Watching the banter between you two is more enjoyable than the main channel! 😅 Also, you HAVE to make a "drawer of shame" shirt. We all have one.

[@BischBaschBosch]

Epic series...again! Been watching bit by bit on lunch breaks. Great work chaps. Mallets look stunning. 👏👏

[@jimrosson6702]

What a journey but the Mallets are absolutely amazing and beautiful. Amazing work hats off to you both. I’m in Colorado and would love to have one of them.

[@leatherspacesuit6540]

An amazing 3 part series. Loved watching everyone. So glad you got it all done after some hiding of tools and pieces and Matt just forgetting where he put stuff haha. Hopefully another series like this in the further

[@tom314]

Someone was having real fun with the music on this one, I like what you did, it aids in the "feel" of the story.

[@ikerstges]

congrats on 'mastering the machine' and the process for that matter! don't forget that oil-lever next time of use! and your next video should show us how you empty that room and turn the machine a 180° to work on the proper side BEFORE you learn all the wrong moves for proper operation! 🙃🙃

[@theofarmmanager267]

The tougher journey, the more the satisfaction on arrival? I think you have played out publicly what every small form goes through in developing a new product. The highs, lows, frustrations and cul-de-sacs. But you got there. Many congratulations to Rob for making the journey an interesting one to watch

[@saramulry]

Absolutely delicious final production montage. Couldn’t have been better.

[@alskjflaksjdflakjdf]

What an absolute banger episode! Thanks to editor dude for putting that together!

Just want to add some insight into the insight you thought you found when routering on the lathe, it may seem counterintuitive but if you imagine cnc milling methods of cutting conventional milling vs climb milling you can apply the same logic here and opting for climb milling (the original way you tried) It may seem like you will have less effective cutting force having the cutter and workpiece 'mesh' as you put it, but it actually works in favour providing the two speeds are not synchronised, you will experience less chatter, less tear-out, have a higher quality finish and your tool life will be increased. Hope this helps, from a fellow maker job well done! Love watching your creative journey.

Matt use a negative rake scraper on the end grain.

[@airdrien]

What a journey, brillant and fun!

[@DebsHill1]

absolutely beautiful mallet 😮

[@dgymnast6473]

The olive handle was a great choice. Solid and beautiful.

[@educatednumpty71]

I was just about to watch Damsel when I got the notification you'd released this, so you know which I had to watch first.

[@jasondale503]

Beautiful

[@chrisp7957]

Drawer of shame shirt is such a good idea. You should pay Sangera2 a royalty for it.

[@theworkshopboxshop]

absolutely brilliant Matt & Rob what a achievement !!!

[@kevinronald4137]

Well done Matt, quite a journey. I hope you sell 100! Has Katz Moses ordered one yet?

[@notbobthebob]

l think you would be better changing the foam/rubber in the wood collet segments to abrasive paper glued to the four segments….Great video’s 👍

[@kennethnielsen3864]

You do know that the CNC can cut two blocks at the same time, right? Thanks for sharing.

[@jackyyung1242]

How did you guys learn all the CNC stuff? (for the lathe and laser) Engineering?

[@thesjyoungjr]

Maybe load the chuck jaws 4 3 2 1 instead of 1 2 3 4

[@sp-vt4je]

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind drilling the holes first and turning the block after. I'd imagine it would be better ( in every respect) turning the block first > sand/finish it > cutting to length > drilling the holes (or maybe these two steps the other way round to utilise the post idea for repeatable cutting to length) > lastly facing the sides. No? Also ( I'm no machinist) but maybe you can use the post idea when facing the heads on the lathe. Instead on relying on the four wooden quarter pieces clamping down evenly every time, maybe you can have two halves instead and a post going through them so that when you place the mallet head the post "locks" perpendicular to the axis of rotation so hopefully it can't move at any point and is locked so it can't fly off or something. You can trial it with wooden pieces for the jig but given the forces maybe Delrin or aluminium would be better for the jig. Does that make sense? Not sure how viable that would be in practice.

[@alskjflaksjdflakjdf]

I think the rationale for drilling the holes first is that if you have breakout, it happens on the outer material that will be turned down on the lathe. You could do it after, but to minimize breakout you'd want to drill in from both sides and you could use a jig to locate the mallet head, but then you somehow have to rotate the piece 180 degrees which isn't easy on a cylinder. I'm just an armchair expert so I could be completely wrong. :)

[@DaveGDesigns]

Matt you know I’ve got love for you brother but….. How does someone who produces items with such precision work in a complete bomb site leaving tools lying around then wondering why they’ve gone missing 😂

[@MrHighflyingclive]

my anti-virus refuses to open the sign-up page :-(

[@charleslanier1992]

Awesome 😎🤘 send one to Tommy Robinson.

[@chriscollins9717]

You definitely need a Glu-bot or two

[@mrljvb]

Use Benny Hill music for the drawer....

[@4BeerLife]

You need to add F..k You counter to your videos)
