  1. Projects Wood Mallet

    So I finally made myself a wood mallet. Something I’ve wanted to do for 20 years probably! Started off with gluing up a combo of maple and purpleheart for the head and turned a handle on the lathe out of an unknown hardwood I had laying around. The two pieces are joined together with a mortise...
  2. Projects Mallets

    Collection of the mallets I have built in the past couple years. Need handle on some of the heads shown.
  3. General Woodworking Discussions
    Hello, this is my first time on any kind of forum, so hopefully I can get the technology figured out! I am considering making a wooden mallet as a gift for my soldier who is coming home in a month and a half. Frankly, it probably won't get a ton of use, but whether he uses it or not, I would...
  4. Projects Joiner's Mallet

    I made this mallet a few weeks ago by hand tools. The size & details Mallet head: 5.25" x 2.75" x 2.25" (12oz) Handle: 8.5" (11.5" inc throu tenon) Bullhide Leather Finish: Mixed of Walnut Oil/Carunauba Wax/Beeswax It was a quick project but it's so handy and I should've made it earlier...
  5. Projects Joiners Mallet

    Second mallet. First build after a year of Covid and two knee replacements. Three woods in the head - walnut, hard maple, and cherry. Handle out of red oak. Purple Heart wedge broke (due to my failure to get the grain correct). Chiseled out and filled with epoxy. Got to use later to mark...
  6. 2012 Mallet Swap Entry for Bertha

    I was very excited to find out about the mallet swap for this Christmas. 22 guys making mallets and then swapping them Chinese Christmas-style was just too good of an idea. Part of me was intimidated, not so much because I didn't have confidence to produce something worthy of a fellow...
  7. Walnut Joiners Mallet

    Last week I needed some shop time but was between bigger projects. I gathered up some leather scraps and walnut cut offs from the scrap bin to make a new mallet. The end of the project snuck up on me fast, I had the spokeshave out shaping the handle when suddenly it felt great and I realized...
  8. Turned mallet

    Besides a little bit of practice turnings, this is my first real turning. Hard maple 2×2'ish square by approx 12" length. Turned on my little mastercraft lathe with the supplied tools. Less than ideal, but…anyways, it should be useful with my chisels. Plus, it was good quality time at the...
  9. Woodturned mallet

    A mallet made from scraps. Red oak, no finish. Turned on 3 axis. And a walnut file handle.
  10. Wooden Mallet

    I started getting inspired by all the home made tools that other LJs out there have posted and made this wood mallet. It was a long over due project as I needed one desperately for my wood handled chisels. It is turned from a laminated blank of red oak and walnut for the head and the handle...
  11. Large Carvers Chisel Mallet

    I turned this large Mallet from a piece of Hard Maple from my firewood pile. It was supposed to be a practice turning piece, but I've since used it a lot and really like the weight and size of it :) The Mallet is: 10" long overall (25.5cm) 5" across the head (12.7cm) The handle is 1 1/2" (3.8cm)...
  12. Mallet made for WoodWorkJosh (Surprise Swap)

    I made this mallet for WoodWorkJosh as part of the Winter 2017 Tool Swap. The woods used were maple and purple heart and the handle is walnut. The maple is from an air dried slab my father had in his garage that was at least 20 years and I was pleasantly surprised with the figure in the grain...
  13. Small wood mallet

    I decided to make a small wood mallet. I have a larger one I made 20 some years ago, but I needed one I could use for wooden planes until I find a piece of brass to make a regular plane hammer. The body is cherry. The handle is ash with white oak highlights. Finish is BLO.
  14. My First Mallet

    I'm in the process of chopping some big mortises in the bottom of my workbench for the legs. I have a wooden mallet that was given to me a couple years ago that I usually use for chisel work. It proved to be too lightweight for this chore though. So I was using my cast iron and rawhide mallet...
  15. Thor's hammer!

    Behold, Mjölnir! A good friend of mine had a belated birthday party over the weekend. And unbeknownst to him but knownst to us, the theme for the party was none other than THOR, his favorite comic book hero when he was a kid. There were Thor paper plates, winged helmet party hats, a golden...
  16. Hickory Mallets

    Finally decided it was time to make my own… Spent yesterday making this pair out of hickory. I will still add a leather face to one face of each mallet and most likely coat them with some tung oil. They are not dead blow, just solid hickory.
  17. Mallet for my Father

    I built this mallet for my Dad for Christmas. The wood is walnut with interior strips of white oak. The finish is shellac, I usually buff it out but I liked this one shiny hehe. There are two voids in the head filled with tightly packed copper I pulled off of old 22 shells, (Of course I set off...
  18. from a "bunk" sticker

    I had not turned a carving mallet before. Not a hard project. Still had a little bit of tear out in the grain but after a few whacks on a chisel I am sure no one will notice. The guy that needed it was happy with it!!! Works for me. He gave me the rest of the wood and a couple bucks for...
  19. Mallet

    Got bored and decided to turn some scrap into a new mallet. The handle is a little skinny, but the wood is pretty dense so it should be fine for light duty??? The handle goes a little over halfway through the head and is fastened with a dowel going through the head and into the handle.
  20. Old cedar mallet

    My first attempt at a mallet. Cedar head, some kind of oak for the handle. The handle goes about halfway into the head and glued. Not too sturdy but hey, it looks cool!!!
