Watching videos is great. But when they are narrated like yours, instructing us beginners is the best. Thank you.

On a metal turning lathe, carbide loves high speed, on centre line and a decent cut. With just four carbide cutters, most operations are possible. A circular cutter on a curved shaft is great for inside turning. Another plus is the very finish, the inserts are easily sharpened on a fine flat diamond sintered plate, not at all expensive and they retain their sharpness for a long time. 👍🇦🇺

Looks like the perfect mallet for wood turners!!! Again, THANKS so much for the great video and your description of what you're turning and finishing the final product! Safe turning to you and yours ALWAYS!

I use a maul like this daily. Mallets are hammer headed; mauls are cylinder headed. The tapered head is great, and the degree of finish beautiful. I would have made the diameter of the front end of the handle smaller, the same as the back end. This will significantly reduce fatigue in your hand and forearm when using it to carve anything where you use repeated blows. You can hold it in a loose cross grip and throw the mallet when the handle is shaped smaller in front.

Hey, thank you. It is comfortable. I made this video awhile ago and have used the mallet quite a bit. Its held up great. It has a few dings, but that's to be expected. The only thing I would change is to put one flat side on the handle end so it doesn't roll on a table. Thanks for watching. Cheers my friend.

Tip: Because this mallet is going to get abused, an oil finish like Watco would have been a better choice. Use the poly finish on things that just sit around. The shape of the mallet turned out great.
@spwoodart7 жыл бұрын
Hi Robert, sorry for the delay, your comment was blocked for some reason and I had to approve it. Watco danish oil would have been a good choice. I will try that out next time. So far the mallet has held up well, just a few dings, but that's to be expected. Thank you and thanks for watching my friend. Cheers!

Hi I am BC and I also need a malley how long should I make it? also is hickory a good hard wood to make a malley out of?It looks like you started with a 4x4 maybe 10" long?BC
@spwoodart2 жыл бұрын
Hi Betty, my mallet is 10” long. I did start with a 4x4” block of Ash wood. You could use hickory, but it would end up with a bunch of dents. Depends what your going to use it for, chisels, etc. Hickory is a hard wood with strength and great shock absorption. It’s often used for tool handles. thanks for watching.
@peterboyd69587 жыл бұрын
It looks good but I think I would have rounded the top and bottom of the mallet! It would avoid sharp edges when hammering and chipping out!
