Yeah it took me some time to figure out… the @brothersmake show how to get that pattern using a panini press. I modified the method a little to just use cast iron pots and an induction hot plate. A litt more labor intensive but still cheap equipment.
Thank you Tory! I realized that I have to make a bigger effort to pretty up my plastic pieces and try to use plastic with other materials to make it more appealing.
While I am sold on your cement mold, with my limited experience with molds for aluminum, I would leave a small hole in the mold for the excess plastic to go to if you have overfilled the mold. Question; Could you use an electric fry pan to melt the plastic?
The exit hole is kind of there from the screws but I would add more exit holes on the next mold. Also, I like high heat silicone as a mold. You can use any heat to melt plastic, I would just recommend being prepared to lose your cooking tools to just plastic. Also, I recommend using a good respirator and ventilation
I think they’re about 300 grams now. I started making the handles a bit different. I’ve been selling a few of them on my website wafflebeaver.com but I’m out of stock currently
LOL, losing your cooking tools! We have thrift stores for an unlimited supply of old cooking tools. I want to build a plastic croquet mallet head and this will work wonders! There is no end to what can be done. Thank you.

“A bit more joy to hitting things”🤣 great work Bryce!
Thank you father in law haha
My wood mallet is perpetually covered with wood glue, so I like the non-stick aspect! Nice project, it looks cool.
Thank you jer! Since I made more concrete molds, one of my mallets have been covered in concrete. I was glad to not have to use my wood mallet.
Thanks bryce good job. Mallet looks good
Good job man 👏👏👏👏
Salute from Egypt 🇪🇬😊
Thank you! I need to update this vide as there is an easier way to make a mallet as well
Great work Bryce!
Thanks Chad, working on my goal to become an Etsy boy
Love how both turned out!
Great video and project!
Thank you! I’m still improving this design too.
I like the mold. I've been dreaming uo making a few concrete form pieces later on this year.
I need to make more molds myself... I've been thinking of making a smaller mallet head and still need to make a chess piece set.
Been seeing a lot of mallets recently, but that is a very unique design 👌
It’s an odd obsession that woodworkers have with mallets. Having a nice one does add joy to hitting stuff.
Wow I had no idea it's possible to recycle plastic line that.

Awesome mallet
Thanks. I do like these a lot. This style of handle seems to be more durable too, it's just so much work to make this way...
Great job mate👍
Thank you! I’m no turner but maybe in 10 years, I can get decent.
This video should not make me want a cheeseburger...but it does 😆 great video Bryce
Wait... How does this make you want a cheeseburger?

What was the weight of the Hammerhead when you were finished?
And do you sell them and if so how much?

Appreciate this! 👍👍👍... However, many watts of energy did you use during the whole process ?? Don't mind ... Just a lil suggestion 😂
Yeah. Probably a 1000 watts.
lots of smoke during the melting process, if someone reading this wants to try it, don't do it without an organic vapor filter on your respirator.
I support this message and I’m also adding an additional 6” ac infinity fan to help me control the smoke
Good work
Thank you
