Making A Mallet

Making another homemade tool, a dead blow wooden mallet. The brass part is a standard 3/4 “T“ fitting and it’s partially filled with lead. Handle is turned on the lathe from an old piece of plum wood that was full of cracks, knots and bugs. Not exactly the best material for a hammer handle, but it will be used for gentle tapping not really hammering things, so it should last a while. The tips are made of hard wood and I’ll probably epoxy some leather on one of them. I also plan to make some in different shapes, some wider, some pointed and some rounded and also one from aluminium and one from plastic. ===================== I first saw this kind of mallet on Chris Pine’s channel: ===================== If you want to help in the making of these videos you can support me on Patreon: ===================== This video is for entertainm
