Using a table saw like this is absolute madness. No matter how many years of experience an individual has, anyone can be taken by surprise by, eg, kickback. The result at best you lose a finger, at worst....well I don't like to even imagine. Remember, pride comes before a fall. With respect everyone, treat these machines with deep care and utilize every safety measure you can.
George, I appreciate your post. I am aware that I will often engage with my machinery with closer tolerances than I did when I first learned. I actually have tried to be careful to NOT show those moments on camera, because I realize that many who watch my videos are newer to woodworking. You may disagree, but I honestly think that the video makes it look worse than it is, although I would agree not at all what I would recommend to new woodworkers. My fingers are always above the blade. Thanks for your comment. Let me finish with your own words: Wisdom from George: "With respect everyone, treat these machines with deep care and utilize every safety measure you can."
Hey kids, we can see by this guys shop he's been doing this a long time but not using a push stick is not a good idea. If you've ever seen kick back in slow motion (or not), you'd know you can't prevent your hand/fingers from potentially being pulled into the blade. It happens with great force and instantly. I know, you're being careful by having fingers griping the other side of the fence or another technique but this is why table saws are the #1 finger remover in the shop. I will guess this guy would agree and years of getting away with it and here we are. Regardless, great video and appreciate the post though.
Yes, I agree. I was unsure if it would be as effective as my old beat up dead blow, but it is every bit effective. And, in the end, pretty easy to make. Thanks for watching, and thanks for commenting.
I know nothing about carpentry and have no intention of making anything like this ever but this is so relaxing and fun to watch. I think it has kind of the same appeal as shows like How It's Made and This Old House. Thanks for making cool stuff like this!
Hi Todd, really enjoyed the project, nice touch adding the leather. Great to see you refurbish your old mallet, seeing tools restored or upgraded is always worth a watch. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Pat. I certainly am having fun. I am slowing moving towards most of the videos having an inspiration message voiced on top of the video of me building things. That is why I started this whole thing to begin with. Thanks again for the encouragement!
Yeah the leather looks really nice. better than I had hoped. Of course that is to hope fully ding up the wood less and it works well on dense woods, but really soft woods can still dent if you hit it hard enough and the mallet is not flat. Almost all of our snow is gone now and saw the first spring flower is out here. Gonna have to the BBQ and a beer. I'll think of you when I do. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers mate.
Gonna leave my mallet just as Tim Wells instructed us to make... Didn’t love the table saw cut on the head.. Does the leather also effect the lack of bounce... Just ragging on a fellow Genoa student.
Thanks for the concern. After 35 years, I feel I know my limits...but, the reminder is always good. It is when you let your guard down that the accidents happen.
Having made many mallets myself, I wish I would have thought of this! Great work. Very well produced. If I might ask, who’s the maker of your cabinet saw?
Thanks for the kind words about the mallet. It was a lot of fun to make and I was really glad to see it work so well in the end. The table saw is a General model 350 10" cabinet saw. It is a good general cabinet saw. If you want to see the whole shop here is a link to a shop tour: ua-cam.com/video/Z01NBIsQghI/v-deo.html Thanks for checking out the mallet video and for your comments.
Now I do realize that I have a very nicely equipped shop, but a million in a little high. If there was a fire, I could replace it all with used machinery for around $25,000, which I do realize is still a lot, but, not actually all that much spread over the 33 years I have been accumulating tools. But, I completely get your point. Thanks for commenting!
@@MadebyWolfe :) don't get me wrong. You are PRO so of course nicely equiped workshop is more than expected. I just couldn't help myself with this comment. It's not hateful comment- just big portion of irony. Have a nice day.
@@A13tech No harm taken and I really did mean it when I said thanks for commenting. It is one of the realities/ironies that UA-cam presents, professionals, using professional equipment to show non-professionals what they can do. I like the videos out there that say...okay were gonna build this amazing thingy using these five tools that every person has in there garage. Be blessed man.
For woodworking, I have always used dead blow mallets when I am assembling things and doing glue ups. Also for other odd jobs around the shop where I want good force but no bounce. I guess they also get used a lot in auto body repair. And I know machinists use dead blow hammers as well. I really did not know if this would work when I started building it, but I is working quite well. Just used it a couple of days ago.

Just youtubers doing youtuber things. Safety measures don't look stylish.
I agree with you, georgeb7332.
Wow found from the shorts love the channel I'm going to stay
Locoman, Awesome and Thank You.

Wow, great video! The deadblow action was way more effective than I expected!

Really nice man
Thanks! It was load of fun to make and it actually works.

You are welcome Jim. I appreciate your commenting. Newer to the UA-cam platform, but I am enjoying sharing.
The short video seems to be an effective referral method. Thanks for leaving the link there.
Glad you found it. Hope you liked it. Thanks for commenting!
Great idea! I was getting ready to make a mallet and I’m going to add BB’s! Thanks 🤙😎
These videos are so well done.
Thanks Pat. I certainly am having fun. I am slowing moving towards most of the videos having an inspiration message voiced on top of the video of me building things. That is why I started this whole thing to begin with. Thanks again for the encouragement!
A beautiful mallet and the video is great. Easy to watch, super relaxing ❤😊
Thanks Jackson.
wow.. Great. I found new weekend project cool thing.
It is one of the downfalls of UA-cam...your project list seems to grow exponentially.
Hi Todd, yet another very well videoed project mate & I like the inclusion of leather as it it is very appealing in the presentation.
Stay well 🎥🔨🍺👍
Yeah the leather looks really nice. better than I had hoped. Of course that is to hope fully ding up the wood less and it works well on dense woods, but really soft woods can still dent if you hit it hard enough and the mallet is not flat.
Almost all of our snow is gone now and saw the first spring flower is out here. Gonna have to the BBQ and a beer. I'll think of you when I do.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers mate.
I learn something new today, thank you sir
I am glad you learned something. It was a fun project and best of all...it worked! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Apparently sprinkling a little salt when you glue prevents slippage as the salt bites into the wood.
Gonna leave my mallet just as Tim Wells instructed us to make... Didn’t love the table saw cut on the head.. Does the leather also effect the lack of bounce... Just ragging on a fellow Genoa student.
No riving knife or push block. Just makes me too anxious. Obviously you know what your doing why take the chance?
Does your hands too close to the saw??? It scared me
Thanks for the concern. After 35 years, I feel I know my limits...but, the reminder is always good. It is when you let your guard down that the accidents happen.
@@MadebyWolfeThanks for your answer, and keep up your good work! (sry for my english, baguette here^^)

Thats so cool
Yeah, it was really fun to make. I was not sure just how well it was going to work, but it worked extremely well. Thanks for commenting.
Shit, I cringed when I saw how you were pushing your mallet head past that blade.
what do you need for making the hammer with bbs inside ? only one million dolar workshop and every tool in the world...

Дякую . Так , мідні кульки , це краще ))) .
Again thanks or watching and commenting.
It would be nice to see this process done with simple hand tools, rather than very expensive machinery, 😢
+Made by Wolfe when would you use a deadblow rather than a mallet? Seeing as you made three new wooden mallets I guess they're thrise as useful.
For woodworking, I have always used dead blow mallets when I am assembling things and doing glue ups. Also for other odd jobs around the shop where I want good force but no bounce. I guess they also get used a lot in auto body repair. And I know machinists use dead blow hammers as well.
I really did not know if this would work when I started building it, but I is working quite well. Just used it a couple of days ago.
Use a push stick.
