Awesome build Andy, keep it up. I've noticed your videos don't get as many views as they used to but you still put a lot of effort into making them look good. That's respect.
Hey Andy, Great video. One thing that I noticed was that when you mortice the head, you don't taper the hole. I was taught that when you are going to wedge a tenon, you should taper the mortice 1/16th wider at the top on each side, creating an angled mortice so that when you insert the wedge, it spreads the top out and gives it grip. This way, your mallet head won't come loose. Keep up the great videos!
What a beautiful mallet ! Simplistic look and extremely functional ! I'll take one for Christmas !! Thanks for sharing this Andy. Absolutely love your site !

Well, today's job will be to make my own mallet. I've got some nice pieces knocking around, let's hope it's as nice as yours! Thanks for the inspiration, Andy.
Great addition of the shoulder to add strength and longevity to your mallet. I ponder a dead blow version of the same. Possibly walnut for the main body and ashe for the shot filled end for contrast and functionality.
More people should subscribe to your channel because your amazing and everything you make is nice and amazing. You got talent that most people don't have.
I really like you videos, like a lot but I am dyslexic (got to love the dictation function on my phone) and it means when I watch your videos I am constantly hitting pause to make sure I get all of what you are doing. Just a suggestion, maybe make the captions stay in the screen longer or talk, you have a pretty good voice. Like you could do radio! No worries if you don’t or can’t change it, I will still watch your videos. Thanks for another great project!
I love a good mallet. Last summer I built myself a pole lathe and made a mallet with a white oak head and ash handle, from my firewood pile. Good times.
I was ready to make a mallet but did not think to make the mortise for the handle. GREAT. Hope you don’t mind if I use that feature. Thanks so much. You have great video filming and editing. You say so much with your style. No need for words. That is a special skill.
Hey man I love your videos and made mallet almost the same as your first one and just remembered where I got the idea awhile thanks for all your hard wood in these videos
If the head works loose again, could try drilling through the head to pin the handle in, but do the hole through the handle slightly offset, taper the end of the pin so when you drive it through, it pulls the handle into the head nice and snug
I’m barely a woodworker, I don’t know of the strengths of that style of tenon. What I have experienced in is handling hammers. If that tenon also loosens up I would go for an interference fit, wether it’s a slip fit where the entire handle goes through the hole in the head or simple a wedged fit with a taper cut to the mortise. Nice project! I need to make a few wooden mallets for my work...
Hi Andy, I’m so glad you were recommended to me in my in box. I’m now a new subscriber. What awesome craftsmanship skills you have, I like the fact you have respect for your tools and your craft. Well done. 📐💜📐
I'd recommend adding a steel or brass ring to both side of the mallets and just back from the face to make sure you don't get any splitting. Yeah, I know it's walnut and I have seen some stuff happen in my time that never should'a happened.
Hello Andy, you build a very nice Mallet . The new dimensions looks a lot better than the old one. Some Informations during the production process would be nice! For example what the tools are, you used in the several steps of the build. It seems to be a dangerous spot where your Workshop is. You need to hang a Shotgun over your Window...
This is so funny, I was just looking at my stash of mahogany, walnut and cherry. Quite the pile actually, and thinking,,,I need to make a mallet. Then I see this. By the way, nice stuff.
Hey Andy nice work, 2 quick questions. 1st, what ever happen to your helper and 2nd can you make a video about your hand planes and the purpose of each one?
That's a pretty mallet. The first one I made is hideous, I should make another because I can definitely make a better one now. Seeing you make another makes me feel like I'm allowed to do the same. Carry on.
I was wondering why you hadn’t put out any videos then I noticed that I was somehow unsubscribed. Not sure what happened but it wont happen again...Great video, Andy!
Hey Andy, I am getting into woodworking. What was that wooden tool you used to mark up the wood or at least it seemed that was what you did with it. Also was that a draw knife you used to shave off the small chucks of wood? I would appreciate any feedback. God bless
realy cool just found u new sub. as im legale blind i cant do alot myself. sharp tools and realy bad eyesight dont.mix. but love seeing what peaple can do
Hey Andy, Hope this message finds you well! I have been following and watching for some time and think i finally have the courage to give making one of these a shot! This would be my first attempt at something like this and wanted to see if you could recommend the most basic tools needed to make one of these. I am assuming with a bit more patience one of these mallets could be made with all hand tools. I love watching your videos and you have inspired me to give this a shot! Thanks! PS. I also really dig the videos of the gold club and baseball bats. Would like to see some more sports equipment in the future!
Beautiful! As much as I love my lathe, I like how you rounded it with planes. which means one could leave the bottom flat, should one so desire (and THIS one would so desire). Question about the handle...not being there to pick it up and feel, it looked a bit "thin-ish" in terms of handle diameter. Perhaps it's because I've got short, stubby hands, I want short stubby handles. It looked like about the dimension I'd expect on a small hammer. (7/8" I'd guess) I like handles about 1-1/4" (ish) in "diameter" - is that my eyes playing tricks on me? thoughts? Do you have any doctrinal statements on handleology you'd care to share? Thanks for bringing us along on this one!
Hey Andy, how's the mallet going? I love mallets, so I'm always looking for new designs. 😬 BTW, I just subscribed! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hey, Andy. I was curious if you had seen any videos of types of Japanese joinery or had an opinion on the subject. I came across a few videos on Facebook and thought it was pretty cool.
Can I bring my woodshop down to texas and combine shops with you? Im tired of not having enough space, and not being able to do woodworking projects. My list is Rockwell 24” planer. Sawstop, dewalt radial arm saw, Unique pocket hold machine, powermatic 2a tenon machine, powermatic mortising machine, 20” delta bandsaw, 14” bandsaw. I have a adjustable heavy duty lift table for a out-feed table and assembly bench, nice drill press, forklift, powermatic shaper, 16” greenlee tablesaw, had a 12” oliver jointer, sold it, so I will have to find another one of those that is 240V. Does this sound fair?
I love it. I’m always amazed with the sharpness if your tools. How do you like the foot action of your Oliver mortiser? Thanks for the video Andy. You’re an inspiration! -Ben
Andy looking for ur other channel am I overlooking it in the description? If not please post a link. Thanks brother
Just updated the description with the link thanks for pointing that out.
Appreciate it.
⁴
I’m telling you Andy, these videos keep getting better and better
That's pretty messed up that you force the old mallet to help build it's replacement.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
it takes a mallet to make a mallet
Awesome build Andy, keep it up. I've noticed your videos don't get as many views as they used to but you still put a lot of effort into making them look good. That's respect.
It's great to watch a master Craftsman at work. I learn just by watching you work, thank you.
Hey Andy, Great video. One thing that I noticed was that when you mortice the head, you don't taper the hole.

I totally agree on size remodulation, it really seems better than the other one. Nice job!
Nice build! That is the biggest band saw I've ever seen!
Wow, what a craftsman! You made that mallet with more precision than most other people have in their fine pieces.
What a beautiful mallet ! Simplistic look and extremely functional ! I'll take one for Christmas !! Thanks for sharing this Andy. Absolutely love your site !
Your videos are Ron Swanson’s version of ASMR
I like this comment!

Outstanding build on that mallet. Learned several things watching it. Thanks for what you do.

Awesome, I love the idea of the shoulder to add strength
I like the video without closed captions as it fun to figure out what your doing and is great to see what happens in the end
The mill is working out nicely. Good job
Need to make me a mallet, been using a scrap block of wood and 16oz hammer...Heading over to the blog now!
Love all your stuff, you are the primitive technology of the woodworking world
I’ve got drill press envy! Man o man that’s a beast!
I always love your videos Andy. Thanks for sharing your passion with the world. Excited for the glass blowing episode to come out
Now that is a lovely thing, is it art or craftmanship, both, I guess. Great video!!
Now I have mallet envy! Great work Andy!
That's a great design, Thanks Andy
I love a good mallet. Last summer I built myself a pole lathe and made a mallet with a white oak head and ash handle, from my firewood pile. Good times.
Andy, I’ve been following your Argosy restoration. The thumbnail for this video reminded me of your dad's statement. “The enemy of good is better.”
I was ready to make a mallet but did not think to make the mortise for the handle. GREAT. Hope you don’t mind if I use that feature. Thanks so much. You have great video filming and editing. You say so much with your style. No need for words. That is a special skill.
Thank You!
Your work is exquisite. I was memerised for the whole time. Wow. Artistry indeed.
Hey man I love your videos and made mallet almost the same as your first one and just remembered where I got the idea awhile thanks for all your hard wood in these videos
If the head works loose again, could try drilling through the head to pin the handle in, but do the hole through the handle slightly offset, taper the end of the pin so when you drive it through, it pulls the handle into the head nice and snug
The pins are a great suggestion...thanks!
What a beautiful video👏🏼👏🏼😄
Great video i'm just a beginner have done some woodworking in past but your videos have helped a lot thans.

Nice project! I need to make a few wooden mallets for my work...
Enjoy watching work come about. Good video.
Another good video. Always good to come here and watch and learn. Best wishes
Great redesign Andy. I thought you were going to turn the head on the lathe but wow that must have been a good amount of hand planing.
Good looking mallet. I prefer my mallets to have a shallow dished face for hitting chisels and a slightly domed face for assembly.
Nice mallet, Andy!
I love that you have been hand planing your cups and mallets.
Thanks for sharing!
Great mallet and great video!! I made a mallet this summer that is probably the best thing I’ve made to date. :)
he's making a new maller with another mallet stonkssssssss
Hi Andy, I’m so glad you were recommended to me in my in box. I’m now a new subscriber. What awesome craftsmanship skills you have, I like the fact you have respect for your tools and your craft. Well done. 📐💜📐
Excellent work as always, Andy.
Fine work Andy!....And great Vid! Thanks
I am going to make one sometime. Your videos give me a lot of great ideas.
Looks good! I’m making a mallet very similar to this one.
great video...What brand back saw do you use. thanks
That is the biggest burliest bandsaw I've ever seen. Absolute unit
I'd recommend adding a steel or brass ring to both side of the mallets and just back from the face to make sure you don't get any splitting. Yeah, I know it's walnut and I have seen some stuff happen in my time that never should'a happened.
Nice work, thanks
Really liked the CC
that mortiser is about the coolest thing i've ever seen. if i had a million dollars and a few more square feet...
Hello Andy, you build a very nice Mallet . The new dimensions looks a lot better than the old one. Some Informations during the production process would be nice!

Great looking mallet my friend!
Awsome video and woodwork
I see you have the belt buckle in some shots! Clever!
your videos are sooo amazing i watching them every time when they come out also i want to craft like you someday
Love it. You always give me great ideas
You never cease to amaze me Andy. Lovin your handi work all day long fella ! Sweet mallet bud !
no clue why i got this in my recommendations but i enjoyed watching this video. Also, that's it i'm getting me mallet!
This is so funny, I was just looking at my stash of mahogany, walnut and cherry. Quite the pile actually, and thinking,,,I need to make a mallet. Then I see this. By the way, nice stuff.
yes Andy yes
Well done as usual!
Your stuff is so good I don't even turn the captions on.
Uff... Now i want a mortiser... So clean
I really want that band saw, ha. Makes my now broken one look baby sized.
Do you ever do any neck/upper back stretches or exercises to help from being hunched over woodworking. I could really use some tips?
It simply never occurred to me to plane a square into a round, I must try that today.
fun! i like how you used hand tools for most of it, but think how much time it will save to do the tennon on the bridgeport
Hey Andy nice work, 2 quick questions. 1st, what ever happen to your helper and 2nd can you make a video about your hand planes and the purpose of each one?

Awesome Andy keep it up
Awesome mallet
Turns on closed captions before he even tells us...
fantastic video as always!!
*THATS IT, IM GETTIN ME MALLET*
Hey Andy, will there be another AR episode? Thanks for great work and greetings from Czech republic!
I love, when you upload... time goes quick when i watch your videos👍🏼 keep it up bro❤️ greetings from Denmark;)
Kool mallet !
How about the shorter handle? Do you like it better?
Looks great!👊🏻
Great stuff. Learnt a lot. Question, is there a reason other than aesthetics that a mallet has a cylindrical head?
I was wondering why you hadn’t put out any videos then I noticed that I was somehow unsubscribed. Not sure what happened but it wont happen again...Great video, Andy!
WOW amazing
Hey Andy, I am getting into woodworking. What was that wooden tool you used to mark up the wood or at least it seemed that was what you did with it. Also was that a draw knife you used to shave off the small chucks of wood? I would appreciate any feedback. God bless
Awesome video
realy cool just found u new sub. as im legale blind i cant do alot myself. sharp tools and realy bad eyesight dont.mix. but love seeing what peaple can do

"That's it, I'm gettin' me mallet"
I'm new here, what happened to the music? Thank you, nice work. Kind regards from Scotland.
If you have the auto generated captions on instead of manual ones, UA-cam seems to think that cutting wood is laughter 9:05
