This includes putting some scollops into the handle and rounding certain aspects of the head. This completes the making of your joiners mallet, ready for woodworking.

    There are a lot of people who have knowledge, but don't know HOW to share it. They just can't teach for some reason. Your knowledge is enormous, but just as important, you are a great teacher. Really, thanks for all these videos you are sharing with us. I have learned a lot.

    I watched all three videos on making a mallet, in one sitting. My compliments to you, professor. You're an excellent teacher. Your video director does an excellent job of shooting the close views, making it feel oh so intimate. I heard you say once in the series that you thought that maybe you were on the wrong side of the camera. I could see that you were working, physically, very hard, and for that, I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation. I don't see how anyone could do it as well as you do. I wish I had discovered your channel earlier.

    My father was a cabinet maker in Australia. He would let us use the wood file and spokeshave as kids. Lovely childhood memories walking up the hill to collect legthy timber offcuts and handfuls of new nails lying about the ground at the local produce box factory. Always thought the owner use to sprinkle the ground with loads of 2-inch nails for children. We made many a cubby house or lean-to in the back yard. Thoroughly enjoy your channel!

    Lovely Paul, thank you. I just inherited my Grandfather's and some Great Grandfathers chisels, most are I Sorby and Marples. Most are from around 1910 we think and he would have taken them to war with him to fix airplanes for the Air Force, which we have photos of him doing.
    I have already turned a small mallet for carving with some of them and this will be next.

    Excellent video of making a mallet. My mallet was made around 1960 when I was training as a commercial vehicle builder from mahogany. I used almost the same technique except for the fancy rounding. Although I didn't use it all the time as I was not in the industry for a long time, I still have it. It is very worn now so it has virtually been good for a lifetime as I am over 75 now. Love your lessons Paul, even as an experienced carpenter, I still learn a lot from you. Keep the great work up.

  • @controlpav

    Thank you for a detailed and entertaining video. As usual for me, I made this project more difficult than it should have been as I started with very old crotch wood from a grounder southern live oak tree. The plane just didn't cut it but the spokeshave did an adequate job on the corners. I opted instead to use my stationary belt sander and oscillating spindle sander to get the curves but the results were beautiful with the added bonus of having a few worm holes to give the result an antique look.
