I'd say the contrast between the two types of wood in the handle turned out great! This gives me an idea of using white oak and Black walnut in a mallet handle. 👍
"I'll just do the handle.. damn, I messed up!" So Neil's "fix" is to make the damn mallet even more attractive! Ugh!... and he stays humble too... Respect!
Heck of a lovely big mallet - you never know when a 'commander' sized mallet comes in handy until you need one and have'nt got one! Great job and it made me think I probably need another one myself. Thanks.
As Bob Ross used to say, "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents." I also love the look of the 2 toned handle. Very nicely done! Thanks for posting.
Every detail on the mallet looks amazing and the way you tranformed all the pieces from raw material finished malett was great fun to watch. Thank you!
A Very nice Mallet, and a good example that sometimes a mistake at the right time makes the difference.. I like your clips. Looking forward to more projects to come.. Greetings from Germany.
I like to watch the creativity of wood working UA-cam has. I really love this channel because you not only create wonderful things you make a point of using scrap wood! I have yet to hear any channel talk about the hazards of working with some wood types. Fumes and/or dust from them can be toxic. Ironwood is one type. It is very common in the south western states like Arizona and Texas.
One of the reasons I liked and subscribed to this channel is that you are prepared to admit to your mistakes and find ways to remedy those mistakes. Good job!
The old tradesmen used to say ' more haste and less hurry boy ' when I was an apprentice. Easy to say but when you are up to you're arse in alligators etc. etc. etc.... Turned out great anyway so thanks for the video and you're effort . gary...
I think the mistake made a better looking handle. Also, as time goes along, I believe you will reach for your larger hammer more often than you think now. Besides, it has a great cool factor. It's a winner all away around.
Just passing on a tip I've heard from several people who weld for a living - be careful where you clamp your ground. By clamping it to the handle of the vise you expose yourself to possible arcing within the treads of the vice thereby welding the vise in a permanent position.
Great video and a beautiful build. Even if you don't use it I am sure we all got something out of watching you build it. The handle turned out great too, always good when you can turn an oops into a nice design feature ;) , well done.
I love those hit the bell attractions at the carnival's. I grew up providing all the fire wood for our family. I would walk up at age 15 to have a try and the men hanging about would grin as if this will be funny. I knew by watching the success and failure of others that it wasn't necessarily how hard you swung the hammer it was where you hit. They gave you a swisher sweet cigar if you rang the bell. I won alot of cigars. The most fun was to wait for a big burly man to break a sweat beating the pad to death and never hitting the bell. Then I would go at it again. You would hear someone say it was rigged but it was all in the mechanics.
This is definitely one of the nicest mallets ive seen, the two tone handle is beautiful and the metal bands around that shaped head is also reallly well done. The overall look is perfect, i would only want to display and never actually use it!
I really enjoy when someone tells their mistakes and how how they fixed that. Looks more natural, like, you know, a human being. hahaha Almost every video is kind of perfection and everything goes right and planned, and when we think: "hey, i'll do that ting, looks cool" and it's kind of a mess, something goes right, some goes wrong and we never get that "perfection". Ends up being a bit frustrating, even if it's a good job. I try to learn with all my mistakes and then become better. This comment looks like a motivacional one, but is really hard to see someone that accept that "hey, that's wrong, let's fix it" Good job
Great build on a Bad Ass Mallet - Looks Medieval with the hammered Rings- Love It! I've been planning on Making one that size out of Oak with a Ironwood Handle but without a Lathe I'll be making it with Table Saw & a Belt Sander and using a Draw Knife & Spoke Shave to shape the handle!! Wish me Luck! Hahaha!! : ) : )
This type of mallet was used with wagon/wheel wrights when building wagons and the wheels. If you can build a small fire outside to use to expand the rings, that is how they fit the wheel tires for wagons.
Outstanding! Love how it turned out, excellent work my friend! It was neat to not only see your "mistake" but to also see how you solved it which ended up making it look even better. The hammered look adds so much to it too. You're ready to go do the strong man contest at the local carnival now. :)
That is one hell of a mallet!!…awesome build and even the mistake came out for the best...I wouldn’t want to use it after that...you became a Cooper man with the iron rings....all in all a brilliant video. Well done my friend.. 🏆👍🏼😊
Yours are some of my favorite videos to watch. Sure, the bushcrafting stuff is cool, as are the guns, but I'm always happy to add another one of your to my day. Peace.
Very good job Pask! What a hoss that mallet is!! I enjoyed watching your did techniques in obtaining and making the rings and putting them on.....great job. Thanks for sharing!
You should totally use some natural fiber cordage dipped in glue to fill in the gap between the head and the handle. It would look really nice I think and also strengthen the join. Maybe just make the first few wraps all gluey then the rest can be bare cordage. Jute would look nice =)
I love that not only do you admit to your mistakes, you then show ways to rectify it, and it still looks amazing!
I'm not intending to build anything, but watching Pask is just so relaxing. He's like Bob Ross for carpentry.
That two tone handle looks fantastic, and it's a great showcase of your ingenuity

"I'll just do the handle.. damn, I messed up!" So Neil's "fix" is to make the damn mallet even more attractive! Ugh!... and he stays humble too...
Respect!
Thank you for being humble enough to share your mistakes! Your humility gave us all an opportunity to learn. Great mallet!
Very nice. Looks like a beer barrel. The longer handle is great, I like the contrast between the woods

Thanks! We've been watching a few Bob Ross episodes with the kids - they love it! :)

A Very nice Mallet, and a good example that sometimes a mistake at the right time makes the difference.. I like your clips. Looking forward to more projects to come.. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you! :)
I think I like watching you recover from your mistakes as much as watching your whole build. Nice vid....as usual
Very nice project. Loved the hammered look of the steel. The variety of your builds is inspiring.
Thanks Aaron! :)

Handle looks beautiful. Funny how our mistakes can sometimes make things better. Well done!
I find it instructive when you leave in your mistakes, and talk about different ways to fix them.
Thank you - glad it helps! :)
I have always loved those mallets made from white oak, love the grain and texture. Thanks Neil, good job mate.
I love that there was no intro. You just told us what you were going to make and jumped right into it.
Very nice you do good work.Turned out nice with 2 different woods.
The old tradesmen used to say ' more haste and less hurry boy ' when I was an apprentice. Easy to say but when you are up to you're arse in alligators etc. etc. etc.... Turned out great anyway so thanks for the video and you're effort . gary...
Thanks Gary! :)
Making to fit the weight/tooling is an awesome "Engineering Parameter". WELL DONE SIR!
hey buddy Thor wants his hammer & keg back.....Your a true craftsman what a brilliant job
excellent fabrication and craftsmanship. that cudgel will encourage any tight fittings into their proper place . cheers mate.
Beautiful, as ever. Love the hammered texture on the steel rings
Wow. Simply stunning! Love he two-tone handle and the fact that you left the lathe centre prong marks in the hammer heard. Awesome Neil 👍🏼
Thanks! I always like to leave the lathe marks. :)
The hammered finish really sets it off, great job.
I think the mistake made a better looking handle. Also, as time goes along, I believe you will reach for your larger hammer more often than you think now. Besides, it has a great cool factor. It's a winner all away around.
Thanks Teddy - I used it a couple of days ago so has a few dents in it now! :)
It looks amazing Neil, no wonder you're so pleased with it. Great work, as always. Looking forward to the new forge build!
Thanks very much Matt! :)
Just passing on a tip I've heard from several people who weld for a living - be careful where you clamp your ground. By clamping it to the handle of the vise you expose yourself to possible arcing within the treads of the vice thereby welding the vise in a permanent position.
Awesome...I love the mallet, I'd call it a theft deterrent! Can't wait for the forge build. Good to see that your hand is better. Blessings.
Well made looks like a mini 4x beer cask beautiful piece of work
I like the two tone wood for the handle, but I wonder if making a steel collar would add a more themed aesthetic
Great video and a beautiful build. Even if you don't use it I am sure we all got something out of watching you build it. The handle turned out great too, always good when you can turn an oops into a nice design feature ;) , well done.
Thanks very much mate - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Beautiful work Neil! I love that it resembles a barrel😊 looking forward to a proper forge build!👍👊
Thanks my good mate! :)
😊You’re very welcome my good friend!
Looks great. I especially like the rustic rings.
If that thing were just a smidge larger it could be used in the circus at the strongman hammer bell booth.
I love those hit the bell attractions at the carnival's. I grew up providing all the fire wood for our family. I would walk up at age 15 to have a try and the men hanging about would grin as if this will be funny.

@Shack Man Everything at a circus is not what it appears and is rigged in their favor so you are right. :) Fun times.
You could call it the whiskey barrel mallet 🤙 I love the hammerd ring
Love all the sound affects through out. Great build as all your videos are!
A meaty looking mallet mate. Very nice work
Some would consider the marks left by the lathe on each sides to be flaws but I personnaly quite like them. Nicely done.
I like them too, I always leave them! :)
This is definitely one of the nicest mallets ive seen, the two tone handle is beautiful and the metal bands around that shaped head is also reallly well done. The overall look is perfect, i would only want to display and never actually use it!
Thanks very much! :)
You are very welcome!
G'day pask - that's a handsome mallet. looking forward to the forge build.
Thanks Julian! :)
That’s a very nice looking mallet. Great save on the handle, the sign of a true craftsman.
Thanks William! :)
Another great video Pask!
That's a good piece of work
Looks cool with the handle in two diferent collors
U can cold form rings using the heel of the anvil..u will get the hammered marks then too...
Oh, go ahead and write “you.” It’s only two more letters and you used those up with the extra periods anyway.
High quality industrial art. Thank you again.
That's turning a frown upside down. As usual, Great Job.
I really enjoy when someone tells their mistakes and how how they fixed that.
Looks more natural, like, you know, a human being. hahaha

Good job
Love your work mate.
show it to a brewer ideal for knocking in taps to barrels
Very cool, man. Nice solution to the handle mistake. It actually looks cool like that. Keep it up, greetings from the States!
Great build on a Bad Ass Mallet - Looks Medieval with the hammered Rings- Love It!
I've been planning on Making one that size out of Oak with a Ironwood Handle but
without a Lathe I'll be making it with Table Saw & a Belt Sander and using a Draw
Knife & Spoke Shave to shape the handle!! Wish me Luck! Hahaha!! : ) : )
Sounds cool! Good luck! :)
So cool! Nice solution on the handle
Very cool. I cant wait till I can stay home and just make projects like this all the time. You are living the dream.
I love the detailed touches, like the hammered finish on the rings. Very cool project.
That’d be perfect for timber framing!!!! 😁🌲 Great job Neil!!
Thanks mate! :)

As usual, nice work, It’s worth making and having just for the craftsmanship in it.
Really enjoyed going through this process with you!
Thanks Bruce! :)
why would you thumbs down a educational and instructional video.. THEY MUST BE JEALOUS OF A SKILLED CRAFTSMAN
Love the problem solving attitude Neil!
Thanks Hakeem! :)
That is one hell of a mallet!!…awesome build and even the mistake came out for the best...I wouldn’t want to use it after that...you became a Cooper man with the iron rings....all in all a brilliant video. Well done my friend.. 🏆👍🏼😊
Thanks very much Marc! Truth is, I'm a little scared to hit anything with it, it seems too nice. :)
Pask Makes frame it my friend 👍🏼😊😉
barrel mallet!! looks fantastic!!
Thanks mate! :)
Not a mistake but, a design change! Very cool mallet! I’m building a coffee can forge right now. Look forward to your new forge project.
Thanks Tom! Good luck with the forge! :)
Peening the nail heads was a nice detail. Great movie! :)
Yet another great piece of workmanship especially the metal rings 👍🍺
Thanks Kenny! :)
Great save on that huge mallet. Love the design with the pinged steel rings. Let us know when you have a use for it.
That is one badass mallet, awesome!
Another brilliant build, Pask! I know what I'll be making come this weekend
Great to hear Nils! :)
Abloodyshmazing dude!!! Wowski, this is dogsbollocks. Be proud my friend and stay safe in down under!!!!
Yours are some of my favorite videos to watch. Sure, the bushcrafting stuff is cool, as are the guns, but I'm always happy to add another one of your to my day. Peace.
If you put leather faces on it you could get good use of it when assembling projects. Another great video!
As always excellent job Pask , Thankyou for sharing your skill w/ us May God Bless
As Bob Ross said, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents 😄 Wish I could get some of that Black Waddle in the US, that's some beautiful wood!
That is a proper THOR style mallet. Brilliant.
Thanks Stephen - glad you liked it! :)
One of my favorite channels!
Looks awesome!
If Thor ever gets into timber framing he could borrow your mallet.
Looks great and the handle turned out to be a beautiful feature. 👍🏻👍🏻
Gonna make one for sure. Excellent video.
Ofc you used the reemer... 😂 was waiting for that part. Like how the mistake turned into a thing of beauty. Class work again. Cheers beers on me!
I don't seem to be able to get away from the reamer since I made it! Thanks mate! :)
Great build. I think I need one of those...
Looks great nice job !!
Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Great work.
Great recovery with the handle. 👍
Very good job Pask! What a hoss that mallet is!! I enjoyed watching your did techniques in obtaining and making the rings and putting them on.....great job. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Becky! :)
Wow, this is the Best Looking Mallet I have seen in All of UA-cam! Thanks So Much!!
very nice Pask!!
Absolutely beautiful.
Very nice. Donkey Kong better watch himself.
That Mallet is amazing!
Loving the textured look on those rings 👌
Awesome build mate, and that handle now looks better for the mishap.
Top stuff.👍
Thanks very much Bill! :)
Neil Thor! Actually the handle was great and probably stronger with the glued on extension. Works well on a big handle like that.
FYI, it doesn't take very high temperature to make in interference fit for steel. Mechanics use an oven at 400F to fit flywheel ring gears.
Love the mallet hammer. Need one to teach some of my colleagues how to do their job properly.
Another good video. always fun to watch this man work.
Bloody work of art. Thor wouldn't be able to get his hat on if he saw this!.
You should totally use some natural fiber cordage dipped in glue to fill in the gap between the head and the handle. It would look really nice I think and also strengthen the join. Maybe just make the first few wraps all gluey then the rest can be bare cordage. Jute would look nice =)
nice job as always
