In this video I'm making two ping pong paddles to go with a custom ping pong table we're building. The paddles are made from mesquite and Texas pecan, with walnut burl handles.
- Be on the lookout for an upcoming video showcasing how we built the ping pong table you see in this video!

Everyone in this comment section is either an admirer of his woodworking or a triggered table tennis player and I love it cause I can relate to both.

Your videos (especially with the captions) have that Primitive Technology vibe to them. Love your work as well as your editing.
FANTASTIC USE OF THE CAPTIONS, really unique way to use them. Love it
At least 3 times now, I make something at home that I wanted/needed. Then about 2 months later you post a video of the exact item that I made. Only difference is you make it a whole lot nicer than I do. I made some ping pong paddles sometime during spring break when I got bored at home. I didn't have wood enough to finish the handles so right now they are just flat boards in the shape of a paddle, but they still work fine.
Beautiful work awesome videography thank you for sharing
I can't get enough of his shop, that band-saw is like looking at a old Model T. Love it
I have to say first WHAT A SANDER!!! That thing is a beast....like the band saw! Great video, your editing is spot on and the whole transgression from beginning to end is superb!! Thanks so much for sharing and keep these videos coming....PLEASE!!!!
Video: Hand made table tennis racket. My mind: this racket definitely cannot be used in public competitions.

Most people would press the easy button, myself included, and use a spindle sander to refine the shape, while you take the road less traveled and use hand tools to give it that handmade feel and look. Outstanding as always!
That's the best hand made paddles I ever seen . Great work .
Great work Andy! You are truly a craftsman.
Great video! Its really awesome to see the bandsaw up and running! Have you thought about adapting the incre tablesaw fence system for the bandsaw?
Keep em coming!!!
I've never thought about using captions like that,I like it
beautiful work , so nice you use hand tools for things
What a beautiful woodworking!
Hey great work, congrats. What glue did you use to apply the veneering? That brown one Thank you for sharing! And once more, congratulations for the work!
Is there any way I can start I wood making apprenticeship to learn how to work with wood like this? Really love all of these videos
Nicely done as always! Love your videos

I have seen that before. Nice and so simple
Ohhh, you DID make a ping pong paddle video! Ha! When I get a table, I’ll definitely want you to make me some!
Wow... I'm interested to try that paddle you made. ...
Great video. When you make this good videoes - then you can make what ever you want. I would still see all of them.
Nice shop. What a great place to relax. A few questions. What are the woods used to make the blade and the glue mix you use to laminate them together. On the handle it seems you used a simple wood glue instead. A beautiful product. Thanks for sharing.
Do you change blades on that bandsaw for resawing vs. cutting relatively tight curves?
Very well done!
You like woodworking, baseball, and table tennis. I do too. Probably in that order too, maybe swap WW and BB when white sox lineup is hitting.
Beautifully made
Always a good day when I get a notification that Mr Rawls has a new vid.
What beautiful wood!
That was awesome!
Handmade plywood ! Why not eh ! I love that resaw fence. A fine pair of paddles there bud. !
Nice build and soothing to watch. Your shop is awesome! Now the paddles need a rubber or sandpaper surface so you can generate spin.

Love this idea. Def going to make some now lol
Been watching it vids since almost the start, love the way that bandsaw works!!
Hi, I loved your shop and the video making your own veneer to make the material for the paddles is probably the right way to go. my shop just made 4 hardwood ping pong paddles made of cherry and maple with walnut grips. mine ended up penhold style and were on the heavy side. going to have a video out on it at the end of the month. I loved this video and I subscribed to the channel thanks for sharing.
Ahhhh this looks too cool!
great vid!
Cool ping pong 🏓 racket🎉
Could you tell me which glue was used for the layers al the beginning?
What wood were used in making these blades? And how many layers?
be still my heart that band saw.
Wow the old band saw is spot on! Did you use Carter accessories for the blade alignment?
É uma terapia assistir esses vídeos...fico perdido no tempo, rs
Man you are amazing
Hey! I'm happy you used my suggestion of captions that I gave a few months back! And great video!
Love it!
Excellent !! 👍
Was that a sneak peak of the Ping Pong table at the end? Great video as usual! By far my favorite woodworker! Everything you build is incredible! Thanks for putting out videos!

how much does it weights ? without the rubber .
Good use of the captions ☺
This racket might not even better than YE, however when it comes to handcraft, it means more than any racket that you could see on the market. Well done Rawls!
Very nice
do you make flared handles ?
Awesome!
Good project
Hey man, nice job! Now you can make a wooden ball too! :D
are these available to purchase?
The lighter coloring looks better imo but the darker one has an awesome pattern in the wood so I still favor it.
How much did the blade weigh before gluing the rubber sheets on. The one I play with is about 3 ounces. That is about 85 grams
i luv how the handles turned out, is that walnut with mineral oil by any chance ?
Is the handle made of walnut?
I have never seen such original racket construction in my life and I have never had such a racket in my life. I wish you would send it to me if you made it original like this.
AR-15 lower out of black walnut?
2:55 that drop tho ;)

Have you ever tried to work with old skateboards? They usually have really neat colored plys put together. If you go to a skateshop and ask if they have some used decks they will probably give you some for free. The skateshop i worked at had a huge stack of probably 100 old decks in the back room. We gave some to a guy that makes weird art. He made some super sick frames out of the old decks.
This is so awesome, you have inspired me to woodwork, and it has become a passion. Out of curiosity, how do you keep your chisels so sharp. I have a grinder but it doesn’t seem to get the anywhere near as sharp as yours. Maybe I am holding them at an incorrect angle?
@fisherofmen3336

I think the trick is to sand them with sandpaper using something like 100 and working your way up to like 7 or 8 thousand. The grinder is gonna be pretty rough and leave those little imperfections that take away from the sharpness.
can I get one like this? i love to keep one real solid wood table tennis blade. Its looks real cool
Awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Looks like a lot of work, how does Yinhe sell their paddles for $15?
