I love how you actually use (or at least present like you are going to use) the stuff you make in these videos, too many people make stuff in tutorial vids that just get thrown together quickly for the sake of having a video to post
I gotta be honest, I was a little intrigued with your drill press handle weight, but the square peg in a round hole thing was an awesome finale! Well done and nice deadblow!
Excellent. I used you example of a hose holder for dust collection and adjusted the design for my situation and it looks and works great. Now I have to make a Mallet. You are a Excellent inspiration for guys like me. Your projects make sense, look great, and are not to complicated to make. Thank you for sharing.
I just saw this video while looking for ways to build a mallet. As always, you do great work. I like the build and thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge.
Nice mallet. Clever design and use of tools. +1 point for the special jigs. You only get 10 fingers, 2 eyes, and one mistake in life. The only thing missing from this awesome video some safety gear. Cheers.
I really like the round style of mallets, but for some reason, it never occurred to me that I can make one with a hole-saw! thank you for this cool idea, I will try and make one myself soon. keep up the good work! also, I hope that you are feeling better. where I come from, we have a saying- "full and fast recovery to you", my friend.
The drill press weight is very smart. I wish I would have thought of that many years ago when I had to drill 1,600 1" holes in 1" thick aluminum and steel plates.
I like your videos Jack. I finally got a full shop going to make my videos in other than I still need a band saw and a planer. I plan on getting back to woodworking. You have awesome tips and ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Love the design - pretty unique. I noticed you used Titebond 2. I probably walked around BusyBee tools for 15 minutes with TB 2 and TB 3, but stuck with 3 since that's what I'm used to. I think I could have settled for TB 2 if it's good enough for a mallet.
Pretty cool to see how you made that hammer. I'd have done 2 things differently, though. I'd have used something for the weight that wasn't entirely solid - that could form to the inside of the mallet and fill it completely - so that it wouldn't rattle when I used it. And I would have Shaved down the handle a bit more. I'm not a fan of bulky handles. But then again, I don't have bulky hands either, so that one is more of a personal preference.
Another clever method, I like it. When I made mine dead blow, I lined the holes with epoxy and after putting the weight in, I poured some linseed oil in also, similar to the store bought oil filled dead blow hammers. Don't know if that helped or not but it seems like a good idea.
Very nice idea and design. I liked the double slotted wedges too! You always have some very practical jigs as well. All your jigs might make an interesting topic for a future video....
Thank you! Excellent job in many ways. You have encouraged me to take heart inspite of some recent health issues that I acquired. You and I seem to have similar desire to create (recreate, there o but one Creator) and build.
just a comment on your clamp: i made a few of those to clamp things down on my workbench through the dogholes - but i did not detach the top part, i just removed the rivet on the bottom side of the rail - i just drilled it out - works fine and not as fiddly as removing the top part
I would never Post anything on these video presentations, because there are too many so called Health and Safety Trolls, just waiting to pounce and give their expert advice, no matter what you do, or how skilful you are. We are all adults, we can see for ourselves what is and what is not safe practice, so give it a Rest, and enjoy what the person is making and sharing with you. It’s a wonder some of you walk down a street.
Good video, thanks. I'd make a suggestion, watching you use your belt sander was awkward, maybe think of making a tray to mount it on to slide out or locking casters to roll the table out, you have no wiggle room to work comfortably. I understand, I have three garages of tools and equipment in a one car garage LOL everything must be somewhat portable so it can be used safely. I wonder if a few coats of linseed oil would protect the hammer better than the varathane?
Holy crap, the auto feed drill press weight is genius. I'm hunting out that video next.

The table saw portion of your video was scary. Nice mallet though
Even though I don't need a wooden mallet, I still learned a lot of different tips.
Excellent. I used you example of a hose holder for dust collection and adjusted the design for my situation and it looks and works great. Now I have to make a Mallet. You are a Excellent inspiration for guys like me. Your projects make sense, look great, and are not to complicated to make. Thank you for sharing.
Jack nice deadblow, will go on my to do list. Had a commercial one and blew through the plastic casing from use. Thanks as always for sharing.
best mallet making technique I have seen so far! Well done!
You have some very good ideas and you do things slightly differently to other wood workers i see on TH-cam thanks for sharing and have a good day
*_Nothing_* beats a good Persuader!
Love the "broken clamp" pillar drill clamp .... nice one :) I have a clamp exactly the same.
It's not only a mallet, but also a rattle. Genius ;-)
I just saw this video while looking for ways to build a mallet. As always, you do great work. I like the build and thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge.
Very nice Jack. I love the off the top of ur head sled.
my grama had your hand issue and im glad to see you still doing what you love to do
Cool stuff Jack
Great build Jack! Seems like you might be the last person on TH-cam to make one of these! Love all of the jigs.
Nice mallet. Clever design and use of tools. +1 point for the special jigs. You only get 10 fingers, 2 eyes, and one mistake in life. The only thing missing from this awesome video some safety gear. Cheers.
I always enjoy your videos.
Gee that came up beautiful. It's almost too elegant to use.
Square Peg Round Hole! Perfect. You have given me some great ideas for a set of dead blow hammers. THanks
I really like the round style of mallets, but for some reason, it never occurred to me that I can make one with a hole-saw! thank you for this cool idea, I will try and make one myself soon. keep up the good work!

Plywood layers look so cool. Nice mallet Jack.

Hi Jack! I'm your fan. I learning so much because You are incredible an handmade artist . Greetings from Chihuahua México
Great Mallet, and thegrip seems very good to hold. Smart with the extra weight in the Mallet. Wish you a nice and good weekend. Jan from Norway
That is really slick Jack. That should work very well.
Another nicely designed, solid tool. This is going on my list of tools to make!
Very nice Jack, as usual.

Good idea on the lamination. I like your woodworking videos.
another great project
beautiful work done
Nice project. I've been telling myself for a long time that I should make one of those.
Nice mallet
Genius...!!!
Just Great ideas for all of us..!!!
Thanks and best wishes, from Copiapó, Chile.
jack nice work cool mallet.
Love your videos. Thanks!
Simple, easy, and brilliant like all of your projects. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
Had a blast watchin' this Jack. Nice build.
Pleasure to view mate, I wish you had a bigger workshop & could post daily tips, always enjoy your builds 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice mallet, Jack! Now I'll start saving those cut outs from my hole saw.
Great looking mallet Jack!!!
Very nice idea and design. I liked the double slotted wedges too! You always have some very practical jigs as well. All your jigs might make an interesting topic for a future video....
Nice mallet . Thank you
Thank you! Excellent job in many ways. You have encouraged me to take heart inspite of some recent health issues that I acquired. You and I seem to have similar desire to create (recreate, there o but one Creator) and build.
great mallet.. thanks for sharing
Love it... Also.. what better test than smashing square pegs. 👍
your jig making...that's why I watch.
thanks for sharing...you come up with some really great ideas!
i love your channel.
Good one Jack! I like the threaded rod clamping technique!
I like your table clamp idea. I will copy it.
Smart idea for making the sled for squaring up the mallet on the table saw, you can't buy things like that at Canadian Tire.
Great video and editing! Very entertaining and informative!
Nice mallet Jack thanks
Great design, Jack! I really like it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I like it Jack.
Thanks Jack! You are sooo creative!
So many cool projects. Thank u for posting your vids.
Thanks for posting Jack. Always like your videos!
Very cool video, great mallet. I need to make one of them, now I know how to do it, not as well as yours I am sure but going to give it a try

Liked it thanks Jack!
Nice work jack, keep up the great work.
Jack: very very strong, I like it. Regards from Argentina
thanks for the inspiration, that is why I keep coming to your channel, cheers
You sounded like Matthias with your test of the hammer. Great video, keep it up.
Here I was lamenting the fact that I didn't have a lathe to make a round head mallet, and damn man, what a great fix!
Very nice dude!
Great design :)
Good design.
Nice! Now I have another use for all that extra key lead I have laying around!
You are a capricious guy! congrats!
I think safety is thrown out the window,,,,, but I like the build of the mallet.... Had some nice tips.
Great work Jack, Thanks.
I like your video's. greetings from the Netherlands ( lex )
You sir, are a veritable genius!
Thanks for sharing and showing that
For the math challenged, the weights are right at a half pound.
Consider using sand and BBs.
thank you jack
Another great project, thanks!
VEry nice mallet
Thank you very much .
Wonder how it would work using old tuning pins for weights.
Great job sir. Quite nice!
The orifice, into which you placed the weights, I would recommend filling with resin.
That seems like a must.
Good video, thanks. I'd make a suggestion, watching you use your belt sander was awkward, maybe think of making a tray to mount it on to slide out or locking casters to roll the table out, you have no wiggle room to work comfortably.

I wonder if a few coats of linseed oil would protect the hammer better than the varathane?
Thank you for a very interesting video! Good luck!
Nice mallet! Eye protection. Think of the children. Just a suggestion.
great re-use of piano parts!!
Nice job
You very hardworking/ хорошая конструкция инструмента
Genial. muy buen trabajo. Saludos desde Barcelona, Catalunya.
