Not only are all of your videos and your projects beyond awesome I absolutely love the fact that you incorporate your family in your craft 💕
Thank you, that’s very kind!
Hi James. I just ordered a mallet. I don't really need a mallet but I've really appreciated your videos over the years and thought it was something I should do. I love your attention to detail and the quality of your work. I also like how you've engaged your family in your craft. Well done. Thanks for all that you do and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you so much. That is very kind! Happy and safe holidays to you and your family. ❤️
My wife bought me a Thor's Hammer, a surprise Christmas gift. What a quality piece of work. Fantastic. Could not ask for more. Job well done to James and his crew.😁
I have four of these hammers. Different sizes and species combinations. They are beautiful. The videos as great as they are, do not do them justice. Knowing they are handmade by the King family, makes them that much more special.
You are very kind. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning colour in those woods
Beautiful array of wood colours!
Love the wood color and the grain specially after its had the finish coat has been applied! you must be so proud of your family the way they learnt the great art! well done. I hope you and your family have a great up coming Christmas .
Kudos to the shop staff. They do great work and produce a beautiful product. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.
Hi Glen, thank you very much!!
I ordered one of your hammers a year ago for myself, I love it! It’s a show piece on my mantle for now but will see some use when I’m dovetailing a few boxes I have in the works.
Awesome mallets!! Love the different species of wood.
Hi John! Thanks for watching!!

Hi James! I have watched so many of your videos. I really like your gentle nature and your fine skills. The fact that your daughters are engaged in your woodworking is absolutely awesome. I can tell that you are a family guy; good on you! I just ordered a pair of mallets, one for me and one for my son-in-law. The half price offer still works. Thank you. I hope that this helps support your channel!
Thank you. That’s very kind.

@@martyben8647, hi. Here is the link. kingsfinewoodworking.com/collections/thors-hammer-woodworking-mallets
Great skills 👍 am inspired
Beautiful work
Compliment for project!!👍
Hi James, bought a white oak head and tiger maple handle Mallett. It is stunning craftsmanship. Will enjoy this piece just by looking at it. Thanks.
I’m amazed & happy that you turned a male dominated hobby/ job into a family activity/ business/ amongst your girls. Cuddos James & Happy Holidays to you all!!
Those are so Beautiful!!! I am looking forward to getting the Lignium Vitae hammer that I ordered...I have been waiting for them to go on sale so I could afford one!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!😄😄😄
Thank you!! And thanks for the order!
All those multi-colored shavings from the drill press would be cool mixed up, embedded in resin, and turned into bowls.
You beat me!
great minds. I was thinking the same, lol
I’ll bet you’re right!!
@@KingsFineWoodworking Or even embedded into resin in block form and machined as a special edition "Thor's Hammer" head.
@@pawpawstew , wow. That’s a great idea!
The lathe bit was really satisfying, was that a wax you put on the handle? Thanks for your vids!
Love the drill press scene. Like a wooden rainbow flag
I know the drill press shot where all the shavings are there from every species as they are pilling up is planned but I would absolutely lose my mind if I was doing that....lol I would have a shop vac there after plunging halfway through the first mallet head...! My OCD went haywire watching that part!
Hi I just found your UA-cam channel, and I must say you do amazing work. I’m ordering your plans so that I can start making these. I want to give them as gifts.
Hi, wonderful idea, quick question, do you or anyone know if there are any issues shipping to Canada? Great work James and family!
Beautiful hammers. Just wondering what type of wood is the green color one.
I just made a hammer of my own (tigerwood with a band of redheart through the middle). What finish did you use on these? I was afraid to put lacquer or poly on because I was worried about it cracking during use. I thought about using a light oil finish, but worried that it would soften the wood too much. Any advice would be appreciated.
👍👍👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍
Hi from Brasil
James, the Polish that she is using on the handle? I need some Polish some wood polish that I can use on my buffing wheel where can I find what you use? And do you sell that?
Great video Me.King!
Can you tell me what type of finish that was your daughter was spraying from the spray can thank you all so much your videos are awesome!
Hi! It is Deft lacquer. But it’s a long process of prep between multiple coats that really gets it perfect. I would say we use about 6 coats.
Hello, greetings from Barcelona, I would like to know please which of these species is the softest and which is the most flexible, thank you!
Purple is the brazilian tree. Here is called the roxinho.
What hammer is best for general woodworking assembly? I do a lot of furniture and drive dominos and mortise and tenon joints a lot.
Hi,
That’s a tough one to say. I usually use a mid size for most chiseled joinery. But a full size for hitting stubborn pieces together. But I think probably the mid size works for more applications than the full.
If you get a heavy/high density mid size, then it’s even more useful. Something with a Lignum vitae head is ideal.
Love to pick one up not seeing the link
I see these listed on your site, are they still available?
When does the sale end?
Hiya--I bought the plans for this mallet and look forward to shaping it out of some olive wood. I think you upgraded the style since you first made the plans--the angle for the cut along the 6" face isn't listed in the plans, is it the same as for the full size Thor's hammer, the same as short angles away from the end grain, or something else?
Hi, we just take a 45 degree cut there about 3/8” to 1/2” in from the corner on all four sides.
@@KingsFineWoodworking Awesome--thanks for the fast reply!
I'm thinking I might buy a full size Lignum Vitae "motivator" for myself for Christmas. The hard part is deciding what handle I want to go with it! I think it might live on the mantle when it's not getting uncooperative projects in line. Any chance I could add a request a leather handle added to it -- understanding that would cost extra? I really liked that design from your other videos. I totally understand if you guys (and gals) will be too busy for special requests, though!
Hi,
We don’t even have leather strapping in stock currently, and unfortunately during this sale is by far the busiest time of year. If you purchase at literally any month other than November, December, and January, we could easily add it.
Sorry.
James
@@KingsFineWoodworking No worries! I appreciate the reply. Never hurts to ask. :-)

Which is the Australian timber?
Sadly there is no Australian timber in this lineup. I have never found a company that imports Australian wood for our market here in the US. Which is very sad. I have many beautiful pieces of my own that were sent to me as gifts from friends and viewers in Australia. Things like Buloke, Red Gum, and Ringed Gidgee. And they are amazing. But I wouldn’t be able to make anything with these to sell since I have no source.
You might check out our video on building an Australian Buloke Thor’s Hammer. It was awesome.
Thanks for watching.
A while ago I asked you why you used such fine wood for your work. You answered that you already had the wood in your shop. Surely, that wood must have been used by now?
@Ewa Bergman Holmberg : What if he would have said, "Because I can."? Would that have satisfied you? His website clearly indicates they make these exotic hammers to order. What's the big deal anyway?
People are way too hung up nowadays on what 'other' people are doing. If somebody wants something, and he has the means to make it for them, then what the heck is the problem with that? And he doesn't have to answer to you or anybody else. Tell me why he should have to.
Hello Ewa, we do a tremendous amount of building with exotic wood. We developed a client base a decade ago for fine pieces. And so it’s always in and around our shop.
I’m not sure which piece you were asking about. But for example it isn’t uncommon for me to use a 3/4” wide strip of purpleheart to fit in a miter slot for a table saw sled runner. To some people that might seem silly. But I have hundreds of pieces & strips of exotic off cuts here. But no scrap oak or maple. So I wouldn’t go buy a piece of maple just for that. I’d use what I had here.
I don’t expect I’ll just run out since I use it all the time.
But a note for anyone interested: all exotics we buy are sustainably harvested by honorable companies who nearly always buy dead or fallen logs and every piece is certified and taxed so that the country it came from benefits the most.
There’s no such thing as woodworkers causing the decline of tropical rainforests. We use 1/100th of 1% of the lumber product from these regions. For every fallen tree we harvest a thousand acres of trees are slashed and burned by those countries to make way for farmland.
We respect the the earth, and the trees it grows, and the countries they grow in.
James, I ordered a mini mallet, but have not received it yet. What's up with that?
Hi, email me your order number, and I’ll let you know where it’s at.
Thank you,
James

@@KingsFineWoodworking Still looking for order number: I do not see it in PayPal. Where would I find it? Thanks. Susan
Hey guys! What about international shipping, does that work? Asking for a European...
Hi Oliver, yes! We ship international. Just about every country in the world. And of course every European country. Thanks!!
Any chance of delivery to Canada?
Absolutely. We ship to Canada almost every week!!
@@KingsFineWoodworking Are all mallets made to order or are the ones you have at half price already made?
@@stephengee8488, they are all made to order. That way you can choose any species head with any species of handle.
@@KingsFineWoodworking I pulled the trigger and ordered one with walnut head and tiger maple handle. Thank goodness for the discount because after exchange and international shipping it is right back to the original price (in $Canadian)! Can't wait! Thanks for producing such good content. P.S. As a University professor/research scientist, I appreciate your science content. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!!
