At 4:58 - I JUST bought one of those at Menards last weekend! You're right, it has no name.

\*pulls board from middle of stack causing wood to fall down\* "It wasn't as hard as I thought." I'm fucking dying. Such a good joke.

This one had me rolling! 🤣 It was super fun, and I even learned something. I remember when you made the palm one and got all the crap for it. Guess that one worked out ok in spite of all the armchair quarterbacking. Inspired to make my own mallet this time around. Doesn't have to be fancy, just has to be able to whack stuff with. Time to go knock crap off my benches now. Thanks for sharing!

I was cracking up at everything falling all over the place. Awesome video!😂

"Don't get it on your fingers, it WILL kill you". Ha ha! Great stuff, lots of fun. Mr. P is on fire! :)

I literally laughed out loud on that one. And "literally" in the literal sense, not the way the kids are using it these days.

Kudos to you for making more than one of those mallets. I've tried a couple times to do "production work" in my shop and it bores me to tears. My brain keeps yelling "You've done this, you know where it ends up." I mean, I have good intentions, but I'm easily distracted.

At 7:32 you mentioned “what is this thing...fistules...”.in walnut, you primarily see that in young twigs and branches in the pith. In a lateral (longitudinal) cut you will see that the pith is chambered. Occassionlly these show up in the older xylem (wood) as seen here. It is not a flaw nor disease nor insect damage...just part of the wood.

Your videos are normally pretty light and funny, but for some reason this one hit me differently. I was cracking up a ton with the tiny jokes and editing choices. Love your stuff, love the podcast, and I guess I have to make a mallet this weekend.

Going for maximum "engagement" by having every type of person correct you. I applaud your efforts, my man. Good job :p

Grandpa won't mind the walnut sapwood distraction as long as you "Just Keep Moving".....

You were in Especially rare form today🤪

That's what she said.

turned out very neat. whenever I wedge the slot, I drill a hole at the bottom of the slot, which acts as a split stopper. I also do this on the wedged mortise and tenon joints etc

I'm guessing the order of operation is drill the hole, then cut the slit?

@TigerCarpenter

@@griffinmakes yes that's the correct sequence. and make sure you don't drive the wedge below the hole profile because you would still split the table leg or the handle, ...ideally the sharp end of the wedge should end in the middle of that circle. you actually can achieve that by marking the line on the wedge that tells you how deep you can safely drive it in.

I love how irreverent you've gotten over the years, and it shows in the things you're making and the way you are going about making them. There's just so much joy and fun in your process and it really comes through in the videos.

Everything has a name... I would call it Bob ;)

I feel like there's always excess sass when it comes to you and drilling. I'm a huge fan. My favorite so far has been "Always start the drill before you start drilling"

Not going to lie - I was more interested in that shirt than the mallet! But I love the way the mallet turned out. With he music I almost felt like I was watching a TRON woodworking montage.

The number of time you seemingly carelessly knocked something over was priceless XD! Also, that clip of sanding at the lathe with the dust clearly being pulled into the collection hose was d*mn near art! All around fun video!

Great stuff as always. For the mallet with the checks in it you could vacuum press the colored epoxy you are using on the workbench to pull it through the cracks an strengthen it up. Would look pretty sick, especially if you could find some colors that react with the black lights in spaceship mode.

Thank you David for showing that I am not the only one who is looking for lumber and it is on the bottom. Then pushing things out of the way like the controllers and lastly having crap fall out of places when the dust collection is turned on. Dude that was awesome.

Great mallet. One that will get used.

Dave: Thank for your mallet lesson! The proper name for that carpenter's protector, according to Wikipedia is: "A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position. The term goniometry derives from two Greek words, gōnia, meaning angle, and metron, meaning measure.".

Space ship mode is cool. I like space ship mode.

spaceship mode - yeah boiiiii

Sweet. I can buy this mallet to make my own. Save me the hassle of having to borrow one

Great video! You were right. Might be the best edit ever.

I didn’t know that I was about to watch a comedy show !!!! So good! (That’s what she said). And this music! Can we talk about the music? As always top notch! One of my favorite video in a while. 😍

Awww, the fact that your grandpa gave you that walnut is so sweet. I think you should make something grandpaesque with it.

1:54 It wasn't as hard as I thought! Excellent!

I love the silliness! So awesome that you don't take yourself too seriously. It all seems fun, which is perfect!

Well now I feel much more confident in making my first mallet for the shop. Great content as always Dave!

Another good one, David. You always have so much fun building and don't care how it will turn out. Yet it's always good. Take care. Bill

Sand in the place where you live!... bro I got to say I love your new vibe, with the shop and the editing. It’s awesome to see the progression of your creative style. You’re inspiring me to make things.

Really enjoyed watching this one. The shop is looking pretty cool with all the colour on the walls. Looking forward to seeing the new workbench top. 👍

Now that is how you make a video! Well done!

you have a lot of whatyamightcallits and thingamabobs there, and even things without a name. nice mallet!

That walnut sap layer stock is awesome!!

I’m loving how organic your videos feel now.

Love the hat....and the mallet

I love the walnut pieces of your grandpa, I’ve got the wrong one I guess 😉. So curious to see what you are going to do with them.. pls come up with a great idea and share 🙏

Great editing, great music, great humor! Love your work David!

I'm no expert woodworker by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm currently struggling to set up my workshop. This is the 2nd video in recent weeks where you've had to pull wood from under or behind other wood and had to remove a lot to get to one piece. I suggest you make a vertical wood storage that keeps the wood mostly facing to the left and right. Kind of like a wood library.

More of this, please.

Nice hammer, in the wall behind you the flag of Italy 🇮🇹 is missing😊, hello and good job 😉

love the no care fun your having now
