I gotta be honest, I was a little intrigued with your drill press handle weight, but the square peg in a round hole thing was an awesome finale! Well done and nice deadblow!
I love how you actually use (or at least present like you are going to use) the stuff you make in these videos, too many people make stuff in tutorial vids that just get thrown together quickly for the sake of having a video to post
Excellent. I used you example of a hose holder for dust collection and adjusted the design for my situation and it looks and works great. Now I have to make a Mallet. You are a Excellent inspiration for guys like me. Your projects make sense, look great, and are not to complicated to make. Thank you for sharing.
I just saw this video while looking for ways to build a mallet. As always, you do great work. I like the build and thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge.
I like your videos Jack. I finally got a full shop going to make my videos in other than I still need a band saw and a planer. I plan on getting back to woodworking. You have awesome tips and ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Love the design - pretty unique. I noticed you used Titebond 2. I probably walked around BusyBee tools for 15 minutes with TB 2 and TB 3, but stuck with 3 since that's what I'm used to. I think I could have settled for TB 2 if it's good enough for a mallet.
Nice mallet. Clever design and use of tools. +1 point for the special jigs. You only get 10 fingers, 2 eyes, and one mistake in life. The only thing missing from this awesome video some safety gear. Cheers.
I really like the round style of mallets, but for some reason, it never occurred to me that I can make one with a hole-saw! thank you for this cool idea, I will try and make one myself soon. keep up the good work! also, I hope that you are feeling better. where I come from, we have a saying- "full and fast recovery to you", my friend.
Another clever method, I like it. When I made mine dead blow, I lined the holes with epoxy and after putting the weight in, I poured some linseed oil in also, similar to the store bought oil filled dead blow hammers. Don't know if that helped or not but it seems like a good idea.
Very nice idea and design. I liked the double slotted wedges too! You always have some very practical jigs as well. All your jigs might make an interesting topic for a future video....
Pretty cool to see how you made that hammer. I'd have done 2 things differently, though. I'd have used something for the weight that wasn't entirely solid - that could form to the inside of the mallet and fill it completely - so that it wouldn't rattle when I used it. And I would have Shaved down the handle a bit more. I'm not a fan of bulky handles. But then again, I don't have bulky hands either, so that one is more of a personal preference.
The drill press weight is very smart. I wish I would have thought of that many years ago when I had to drill 1,600 1" holes in 1" thick aluminum and steel plates.
just a comment on your clamp: i made a few of those to clamp things down on my workbench through the dogholes - but i did not detach the top part, i just removed the rivet on the bottom side of the rail - i just drilled it out - works fine and not as fiddly as removing the top part
Thank you! Excellent job in many ways. You have encouraged me to take heart inspite of some recent health issues that I acquired. You and I seem to have similar desire to create (recreate, there o but one Creator) and build.
Clear simple directions, and every step shown! You have a winner here, I'm making my own, I have a pallet just crying out to become my new hammer. I'll be using lead shot as I have 15 pounds of it and might as well use what I have. What glue did you use? I am going to put a leather face on one side to give me a no-mar for setting finished pieces in place and keep the hard face for rough work.
Good video, thanks. I'd make a suggestion, watching you use your belt sander was awkward, maybe think of making a tray to mount it on to slide out or locking casters to roll the table out, you have no wiggle room to work comfortably. I understand, I have three garages of tools and equipment in a one car garage LOL everything must be somewhat portable so it can be used safely. I wonder if a few coats of linseed oil would protect the hammer better than the varathane?
Because how the dead low hammer works is when your swing it down the weight moves back this causes the hammer not to bounce if you glued the weight they could not move and not be able to do there job

Holy crap, the auto feed drill press weight is genius. I'm hunting out that video next.
Jack nice deadblow, will go on my to do list. Had a commercial one and blew through the plastic casing from use. Thanks as always for sharing.

Cool stuff Jack
best mallet making technique I have seen so far! Well done!
Plywood layers look so cool. Nice mallet Jack.
You have some very good ideas and you do things slightly differently to other wood workers i see on RUclips thanks for sharing and have a good day
Great build Jack! Seems like you might be the last person on RUclips to make one of these! Love all of the jigs.
That is really slick Jack. That should work very well.
Very nice Jack. I love the off the top of ur head sled.
I just saw this video while looking for ways to build a mallet. As always, you do great work. I like the build and thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge.
my grama had your hand issue and im glad to see you still doing what you love to do
I like your videos Jack. I finally got a full shop going to make my videos in other than I still need a band saw and a planer. I plan on getting back to woodworking. You have awesome tips and ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Great Mallet, and thegrip seems very good to hold. Smart with the extra weight in the Mallet. Wish you a nice and good weekend. Jan from Norway

Another nicely designed, solid tool. This is going on my list of tools to make!

Love the "broken clamp" pillar drill clamp .... nice one :) I have a clamp exactly the same.
Good idea on the lamination. I like your woodworking videos.

Had a blast watchin' this Jack. Nice build.
Good one Jack! I like the threaded rod clamping technique!

Very cool video, great mallet. I need to make one of them, now I know how to do it, not as well as yours I am sure but going to give it a try
Hi Jack! I'm your fan. I learning so much because You are incredible an handmade artist . Greetings from Chihuahua México
Very nice Jack, as usual.

I always enjoy your videos.
Nice work jack, keep up the great work.
So many cool projects. Thank u for posting your vids.
jack nice work cool mallet.
beautiful work done
your jig making...that's why I watch.
thanks for sharing...you come up with some really great ideas!
Great design, Jack! I really like it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Even though I don't need a wooden mallet, I still learned a lot of different tips.
Nice mallet . Thank you
Great video and editing! Very entertaining and informative!
Nice mallet, Jack! Now I'll start saving those cut outs from my hole saw.
I really like the feed on the handle mind if I use it?
Pleasure to view mate, I wish you had a bigger workshop & could post daily tips, always enjoy your builds 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's not only a mallet, but also a rattle. Genius ;-)
Thanks Jack! You are sooo creative!
Nice mallet! Any word on whether or not the varathane made a difference on the front? 🤓
The table saw portion of your video was scary. Nice mallet though
Nice project. I've been telling myself for a long time that I should make one of those.
Really nice job. I le your clamping idea as well.
Simple, easy, and brilliant like all of your projects. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!

great mallet.. thanks for sharing
Thanks for posting Jack. Always like your videos!
Great looking mallet not sure about the loose weights. I would maybe glue them in with resin or hot glue stick to stop the rattle.
spike little if the weights don't move, it doesn't work. Think about it :)
Smart idea for making the sled for squaring up the mallet on the table saw, you can't buy things like that at Canadian Tire.
Genius...!!!
Just Great ideas for all of us..!!!
Thanks and best wishes, from Copiapó, Chile.
Wonder how it would work using old tuning pins for weights.
Great video!
Very clear explanation and lot's of good ideas.
Thank you for posting.
Love your videos. Thanks!
The orifice, into which you placed the weights, I would recommend filling with resin.
That seems like a must.
Great work Jack, Thanks.
I like your table clamp idea. I will copy it.
As usual a enjoyable project and video!
Great job sir. Quite nice!
Gee that came up beautiful. It's almost too elegant to use.
Good... very... very good. Thanks for sharing. (Brazil)
*_Nothing_* beats a good Persuader!
Thank you for a very interesting video! Good luck!
another great project
Jack: very very strong, I like it. Regards from Argentina
You very hardworking/ хорошая конструкция инструмента
Genial. muy buen trabajo. Saludos desde Barcelona, Catalunya.
You are a capricious guy! congrats!
Nice! Now I have another use for all that extra key lead I have laying around!
I like your video's. greetings from the Netherlands ( lex )
Great creative video as usual , always a treat to watch.
Any reason you left the handle square vs round?
Another great project, thanks!
What a neat design Jack. Where did you get the weights, they look very versatile. Many thanks for your videos.
Nice mallet Jack thanks
Are the weights supposed to have play, or are they tight? Also, what's verithane?
Good job Jack.
Very enjoyable video. 👍
Jack how do you keep it from rattling? great build as always Jack thank you
It does rattle, you can hear in 7:25...
A way to stop is to cut the rings the heigth of the wheigths and gluing them with epoxi or super glue..
i love your channel.
Cool tip! Great content!
You sounded like Matthias with your test of the hammer. Great video, keep it up.
great re-use of piano parts!!
thanks for the inspiration, that is why I keep coming to your channel, cheers
Mooie hamer, Jack! (lees je nog Nederlands of ben je 2e of latere generatie?)
Nice mallet. I been watching your videos for sometime and been wanting to ask how do you rip long boards with little out feed space?
Any reason for not epoxying the weights into the cavities?
Because how the dead low hammer works is when your swing it down the weight moves back this causes the hammer not to bounce if you glued the weight they could not move and not be able to do there job
Which would make it a wooden mallet ; )
as opposed to a wooden dead blow mallet
nice build, thanks for sharing
I like it Jack.
Did you replace The threaded rod hole with a dowel?
