Thank you very much mate!

Excellent

Thankyou sir I've been wanting make a wooden mallet without lathes yours first video seen absolutely brilliant cheers to you xoxo

Amazing project tools. Watching from Pampanga Philippines

I really enjoy your videos. I made a mallet from firewood and was working on a dovetail mallet from ash, but this has convinced me to use the firewood again. I hadn't thought to use my planes, that works really well.

Exactly the video I was looking for. Great job, and you have inspired me!

This is effin gorgeous.

I'm planning to make one for myself. Thank you for this video! The mallet looks great!

Great job!

Nice job man. I"m making one this summer for my leather tooling.

Well done Sir.

I would love to hold that in my hand. Yet another beautiful piece that you've crafted.

Excellent work Gillis - inspiring stuff. I would never have thought of carving one of those from solid, but you are right of course, it's perfectly possible. I love the laid back, relaxed nature of your videos too. Please keep up the good work! Cheers from Tasmania - Craig

Thank you very much, Craig! I'm glad it comes across as relaxed, sometimes I feel like I should speed clips up less to not feel stressful, so it's great to hear that this tempo works for you

right - i'm off to the workshop!

Great mallet but for goodness sake always tighten and secure your work in a stable condition in your bench vice. 👍

Thanks for the video. What kind of oak was that? It looked like it had interlocking grain and the color reminds me of American Southern Live Oak. Beautiful job.

Thank you! I don't know the species unfortunately, just got a few small logs from a tree someone cut down in their yard. It has a little bit of interlocking grain but mostly very pleasant to cut. I would assume it's a european variety of oak.

@@GillisBjork sorry, I was assuming it was European, I should have said that. You did a great job, it still looks like it was a challenge to work. My live oak here is very very hard to work with once it is dry, but it makes the best mallets and I also use it for file handles and such. Has a cool yellow and green color as it ages and is very tough and durable. Was and is mostly used for building the ribs and keels in wooden sailing ships. Is somewhat rot resistant as well. Looking forward to more great videos.

Must be Quercus Robur or Quercus Petraea in Gillis part of Sweden

5:00 Great work, but I would never be using that mallet with a split going all the way through the handle like that. Maybe you can fix that crack with some pins and glue...but otherwise that's a dangerous mallet for your hands

I was a little concerned about it, but it's been holding up fine for close to two years. It's a carving/dovetailing mallet so for light work only. If it splits I'll glue it back together :)

yoooooooo finally I have a question for you... How to do you sharpen the concave and convex spokeshaves? P.S The mallet is stunning!

@GillisBjork

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Convex blades can be sharpened on normal stones, for concave blades you'll need a smaller stone with a radius, or fine sandpaper wrapped around a dowel for the same effect.

How about a French rolling pin with no turning?

Wouldn't it have been easier to start off with a round log?

I guess, but the easy way is rarely a good way

All that work on the handle and your not even going to be holding it by the handle. ???
