I have been wanting to make myself a good shop mallet ….I have decided I want some weight in it …...so I was cleaning up shop found a couple dumbbells I used to use …and then a light came on ….so I got to work taking the outer layer off
then I drilled out 2 caps of wood
they didn't quite fit to good so drill little holes at the hex
then filled rest in
this was my first try at progress pictures so please deal with a noobie
JUST 1 MORE NOTE ….if a thief breaks in the shop I will chuck this sucker at him …probably do more damage then my shotgun LMAO :<))

Clever idea Tony, but please how have you managed to completely and so neatly cover the dumb bell with the timber to have it secure; PLUS how is the handle fitted, thank you…

OK my curiosity got the better of me, so after sneaking into you shed looking for the mallet, of which incidently I could not find, I managed to trip over your LP Gas powered lathe ..thats a very interesting way to power a lathe by the way, then I saw your shadow of you coming in so in fright I scampered.
Now after all that trauma where is the dumbell!!
Maybe next visit I am going to bring my metal detector with me.
