Very impressive. I hope to see you using it.

Thanks Mark. It's mainly for using on my chisels.

Great little mallet Glenn better keep it well hidden or Liza might use it on you. Blessings.

I have to stop speed reading, I thought that you were turning a mullet. I thought that was strange seeing that you don’t have hair. Then I watched😬 nice ‘Mallet’ Glenn😬👍

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Lol. Thanks Chris.

[@rundledorosh656]

Love the way you two interact during the video. Super. 🤙🏼
What kind of grind was that on the roughing gouge? Never seen that before.
I just turned a mallet from some green maple and it’s cracking and checking. Still useful though. It looks pretty cool to.
Thank again. Keep on Turning! 🌪️
Cheers

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you Rundle. Welcome to the channel. It's my fingernail grind.

[@rundledorosh656]

Thank you for replying so quickly. 😎
Cool. What’s the reason behind that? Doesn’t it weaken the gouge? 🤔

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

@@rundledorosh656 It makes it more user friendly and I can do much more with it than just roughing down a piece, as demonstrated in the video. Does not weaken it at all.

[@rundledorosh656]

Very cool. Thanks. 😎🤙🏼🇨🇦

Can you tell me about your Face mask and respirator combination?

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

I did a video on it. See link th-cam.com/video/HRskMIZEj4E/w-d-xo.html

[@robertcornelius3514]

Use Hockey cloth tape to on the handle to hide those awful knots.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

The knots are part of the character of the wood. It's a tool for hitting things. Eventually, it will be full of dents.

[@waynehardy6955]

Nice mallet I’ve been wanting to turn one myself I’m too tight to buy one been from Yorkshire. I’ve just acquired an apple tree trunk that’s just been felled is that suitable and how long should I leave it before turning it.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Hi Wayne, it is better to have dry wood for this. If you wanted to turn it immediately, I would seal the end grain straight away after turning it, to slow down the drying process. It shouldn't crack then. Mine may crack as it was still quite wet but it was mainly for the video and I could just make another one at a later time. Thank you also for the Buy Me A Coffee. Much appreciated. Glenn & Liza

[@waynehardy6955]

Thanks il might have a word with one of the lads a the turning club to see if they have any dry around I could erm borrow while they’re not looking

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]
