Great vid. I just bought the Incra LS TS and all the extra's too. Including I-Box, 1000SE, Incra Master lift II and Incra Master Router Table for Table saw. Can't even remember all the models of what I got. Hope to finish putting it all together this weekend.
Sure. I'm essentially creating a tenon and the table saw leaves the cleanest cut. This could be done on the bandsaw but I generally use the table saw for most tasks if possible.
Very nice video. How come you didn't add any dowels through all the layers? It seems there would be three major weak points between all the layers with only glue holding it together?
Thanks! The face grain glue joint is plenty strong. Dowels would definitely add some strength but not enough that its worth it to ruin the aesthetic of the mallet.
parillaworks: Hmmm could you please reply with the dimensions so when i make mine i wouldn’t make it so big, and what size is your next one going to be? About the handle......you put the concave part of the handle towards the head and the larger part towards the end. I was thinking of doing the opposite because when you grab the handle to use it, have you noticed that most of the time your hand is closer to the head instead of the end? It’s not like grabbing a regular hammer where you grab it towards the end so you can swing it hard. Do you agree, or do you grab it like a regular hammer towards the end?
Ash. The balls are just regular bee-bees. Supposedly the loose weight can cause a dead blow effect which gives you mallet a little more force and less bounce back.
The finger/box joints are straight, not dovetail, and glued together. Then there is pressure on the finger joint, by the wedges and handle, pushing it away. Bubinga is oily, I was thinking the glue would eventually stop holding and a chunk of wood would go flying. I'm not trying to be a critical jerk, just thinking out loud. Is it holding up? I'm just curious. 😁
parillaworks I went ahead and proven myself wrong already 😅. It seems like there isn't that much difference when the joints are angled. Still though, I would think dovetail is the way to go for this particular job. The video is dovetail vs box joint. They both performed about the same when it came to holding strength. ruclips.net/video/cRPgCMmbeyQ/видео.html
I see what you mean. I don't think the wedges are exerting much pressure on the finger joints and those pieces are glued to the middle chunk anyway. I think a dovetail is only stronger when there is a real force working against the joint.
Thanks Wayne! Probably not 100% needed but to get the dead-blow effect, you need something loose inside. Also, next mallet will be a little smaller. This one is a bit cumbersome to use.

The choice of woods was spot on - the contrast really brings out the beauty of the design.
Thanks Trion!
That looks great. I love the finger joints!
Thanks! It was a little experiment and I think it turned out nice!

Its almost too beautiful to use. Nicely done!
Thanks Hooper!
Nice job. I also only use Howard’s Wax for all my projects. Enjoy your videos immensely.
which links can see hiw to make the finger jointers？ thanks
Parabéns pelo belo malho.
Congratulations on the beautiful mallet
Only 800 and something subs? Man, this channel is great. Keep up the good work
Angel Martinez Thanks Angel!
Well, it´s 10k now, that looks better haha
And now is 24K that is even better!
Now it's 48 kilos.
50K now Great Job@@pandaguan
Beautiful, I love Purpleheart wood, nice job!
Thanks Abby!!
very nicely done.
Thanks Ryan.
Can you briefly explain why the task at 4:21 is done with your table saw instead of bandsaw ?
Sure. I'm essentially creating a tenon and the table saw leaves the cleanest cut. This could be done on the bandsaw but I generally use the table saw for most tasks if possible.
parillaworks thank you for the explanation
Could sand be used instead of B.B's?
Nice build!
Thanks Henry!
What is the weight of your finished mallet?
Wow well done!
Very nice video. How come you didn't add any dowels through all the layers? It seems there would be three major weak points between all the layers with only glue holding it together?
Thanks! The face grain glue joint is plenty strong. Dowels would definitely add some strength but not enough that its worth it to ruin the aesthetic of the mallet.
Mads, glued long grain to long grain.... lots of surface area, that isn't going anywhere.
Very nice!
Hello from Canada. Good job and well done video. Just subscribed.
awesome!!! this channel has a nice future ahead. Keep up!
Thanks Alejandro!!
Nice job. I wouldn't have glued the handle in tho.
Why you dont show the finale idea? The finger joints.
Great build, friend. Ash is my favorite wood of them all, and I’d love to feel that handle. But I gotta buy you a dado stack. 😂
Ash is definitely underrated. Thanks Hakeem.
that came out nice.
turn it into a soft face and contact cement leather on the ends so they don’t get ruined
I might make a new mallet with some soft faces. This one is a little too big I've realized.

Do you agree, or do you grab it like a regular hammer towards the end?
Wow! Great build and video!!! Just subbed.
Mike Brady Thanks Mike!
Did you do any experimenting to find the right amount of BBs?
What kind of wood was the handle and the center section made from? And what were those metal ball bearings for?
Ash. The balls are just regular bee-bees. Supposedly the loose weight can cause a dead blow effect which gives you mallet a little more force and less bounce back.
parillaworks oh wow! Ok thanks and nice work on the mallet!!!👍👍👍
What did you finish it with?
I think I used a wax and orange oil mix from home depot.
Looks cool, doesn't seem very structurally sound.
Thanks. In what way does it not look structurally sound?

nice project
Thanks Tom!
Nice build! Do you think the BBs are needed? I built a mallet with no BBs and it seems to be plenty heavy enough for the chisel work I do.
Thanks Wayne! Probably not 100% needed but to get the dead-blow effect, you need something loose inside. Also, next mallet will be a little smaller. This one is a bit cumbersome to use.
Ya I can see that. But it's beautiful. I subscribed and I just followed you on Instagram too. Cheers.
perfeito .
muito bem feito 👍
Gracias Alvaro!
Awesomeness Hands Down.. This Would Be An Excellent Gift.. It Also Reminds Me Of.. *(THOR Might Hammer).. Thank You For The Video Tutorial..
Thanks Nelson!
Very aesthetic thing. Shoot more videos. You definitely have your own style! Good luck, greetings from Russia.
Thanks! More videos are on the way!
I loved the mallet, the mallet's wood and it's design! I did not like the music and that you didn't use more handtools for this project.
Lol thanks Nikos. I've stopped using any music and added voiceovers to explain some of the things I do. Thanks for your comment.
Nice, but it's rediculously big.
Thanks! You're right. I recently made a new one on the lathe that is a bit smaller and easier to wield.
I started with Woodglut plans.
