- Hello! We have a very special visitor in our hallowed halls. Emma Cook (@TheTinyTurner ) is with us today.
We've planned a very interesting project for today. We're going to turn a english carving-mallet. Emma will show you how it's done. Look forward to an educational video where you'll easily create a high-quality tool for your workshop.

Good looking mallet. I find while cutting for the wedge, one only has to cut half way down the length of the tenon.
You did a GREAT job. I am going to make one right after I finish up on a bowl in transition.
Thanks for your Feedback. 🙏
Very.good.great.work
great work Emma, very inspirational. What kind of wood did you use + the stain? in video you mentioned Beech wood but I am not sure if it's the one you used. Love the nutmeg color
Great video Emma.
What was the center finding jig you used?
Take care.
Cheers, Huw
thanks for your comment, its this little jig: www.drechselbedarf-schulte.de/drechselwerkzeuge/messwerkzeuge/1184/kantelzentriergeraet-70-120-mm
What alternative can you demonstrate if you don’t have a second chuck with narrow jaws. Lovely video!
You can make a jam chuck with a scrap piece of wood which fits the diameter of the inner hole. If you do this I would recommend bringing up the tailstock with a standard revolving centre just to steady it as you remove as much of the tenon as possible, then try and turn the last bit without the tailstock in place (if you need to). If it is not stable enough, then you may have to take the last bit off with a carving tool or sand it away 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks. I did know this but many people starting out do not have multiple chucks or other equipment so alternative method suggestions are always useful. Keep up the good demonstrations!
@@user-xx6mx1ld2y No, we appreciate you asking the question on behalf of others thinking the same 😁
Hi Emma
great work
Grüße aus Hessen
great work
Your list of tools used in this video didn't include the cute centering device, which I have never seen before.
Are you looking for this one? www.drechselbedarf-schulte.de/drechselwerkzeuge/messwerkzeuge/1184/kantelzentriergeraet-70-120-mm :)
Good video , l find a longer handle gives you a heavier swing . Putting a lot more cut on the tool .
Thanks for your feedack!
This is a carving mallet and we use them in a specific way - you don’t swing them: you flick them with your fingers so you don’t want it longer or it will impede on your wrist and potentially mark the work you are carving. For extra reference, stone masons have their handles even shorter because the butt of the handle can break the stone if it contacts it, so theirs finish just in the fleshy bit of your palm (nearest the wrist) 👍🏻
Hi there Emma . Great Video . Did you had the Time to explore some Parts of Germany ? 😅 Hope you enjoy your stay .
Hi! I didn’t get much chance to explore because we had a very tight schedule, but I’m sure I will be back and maybe then I’ll explore a little 💜
@@TheTinyTurneryou should visit the DFT . It´s a Woodturner Meeting where Turners from Germany , Switzerland and the Netherlands meet once every 2 Years. This Year it’s in Olbernhau , it’s at 25thand 26th May . Simon Hope , Mick Hanbury and Colwin Way will there be too . KS Schulte and a lot more . I think you would like it. Olbernhau is in Erzgebirge where they have a long Tradition of turning wooden Toys and Nutcrackers . Hope we will meet there :)
Where did you get the center finding jig you have?

Great demo emma, where did you get the centre jig ?
Do you mean this thing? You can buy it online in our shop: www.drechselbedarf-schulte.de/drechselwerkzeuge/messwerkzeuge/1184/kantelzentriergeraet-70-120-mm
Where do you get those really long lathe tools?
what exactly do you mean?
Now if a Beaver could gnaw as fast as you gnaw we could train beavers to cut down trees commercialy!!!🇨🇦😄
Not to tell you your business but your lathe centre is too high for you, its also a bad example to viewers, you're going to end up with joint problems (particularly shoulders) using it like that. Too high is almost as bad as too low, the lathe centre should be at elbow height when your arms are hanging straight down.
You do great work but its even affecting the bevel angles on your chisels and gouges, honestly you need to raise yourself up atleast 25cm as far as I can tell ...I have the opposite problem I am way taller than most so I have to build lathe stands way up to get them right for me.
Thanks for your comment, Emma is a Professional Demonstrator and she is tiny, she Always has lathes that are to high and she Said its Not Problem. In her own Workshop, of course, the lathe has the correct height.
@@ks-allyouneedforwoodturning Ah I see
@@TalRohan on the Otherside youre totally right 👍
@@ks-allyouneedforwoodturning thanks , what you can put up with for a demonstration or testing a new lathe is one thing but yeah for general use thats cool I'm glad she's not hurting anything ..thanks for the replies
Hi Emma...
Great mallet.. very nicely turned...
Really professional video quality.. I wish that I could get mine that good !!
Good point about not splitting the handle with the wedge..
It's also good practice to orient the wedge across the grain of the mallet head so as not to split the head.
Great video...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
