    This one had me rolling! 🤣 It was super fun, and I even learned something. I remember when you made the palm one and got all the crap for it. Guess that one worked out ok in spite of all the armchair quarterbacking. Inspired to make my own mallet this time around. Doesn't have to be fancy, just has to be able to whack stuff with. Time to go knock crap off my benches now. Thanks for sharing!

    At 7:32 you mentioned “what is this thing...fistules...”.in walnut, you primarily see that in young twigs and branches in the pith. In a lateral (longitudinal) cut you will see that the pith is chambered. Occassionlly these show up in the older xylem (wood) as seen here. It is not a flaw nor disease nor insect damage...just part of the wood.

    turned out very neat.
    whenever I wedge the slot, I drill a hole at the bottom of the slot, which acts as a split stopper. I also do this on the wedged mortise and tenon joints etc

    • @griffinmakes
      @griffinmakes 3 роки тому +1

      I'm guessing the order of operation is drill the hole, then cut the slit?

    • @TigerCarpenter
      @TigerCarpenter 3 роки тому +1

      @@griffinmakes yes that's the correct sequence.
      and make sure you don't drive the wedge below the hole profile because you would still split the table leg or the handle, ...ideally the sharp end of the wedge should end in the middle of that circle. you actually can achieve that by marking the line on the wedge that tells you how deep you can safely drive it in.

    Thank you David for showing that I am not the only one who is looking for lumber and it is on the bottom. Then pushing things out of the way like the controllers and lastly having crap fall out of places when the dust collection is turned on. Dude that was awesome.

    Great stuff as always. For the mallet with the checks in it you could vacuum press the colored epoxy you are using on the workbench to pull it through the cracks an strengthen it up. Would look pretty sick, especially if you could find some colors that react with the black lights in spaceship mode.

    The proper name for that carpenter's protector, according to Wikipedia is:
    "A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position.
    The term goniometry derives from two Greek words,
    gōnia, meaning angle, and metron, meaning measure.".
