What prompted me to subscribe to your channel was when you said: “love working wood with hand tools. The actual building process itself is where I find the most enjoyment.” That's all for me.

Very nice mallet! I'm a beginning woodworker and I would like to make one like yours. What are the rough dimensions of the mallet head?

@TheWirelessWoodworker

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! The mallet head is about 5.5” x 3.5” and about 3” thick. Some may find it a little small depending on how it’s being used, but I think it’s a good size. Good luck!

Do you like your Veritas inset vise? I’ve been thinking about adding one to my workbench

Hey Graeme - It definitely does it's job. I've been using it for 4-5 years now and only have a few small gripes with it: I filed the silver handle down a bit because it was sharp enough to get caught on my shirt constantly. The metal base plate was also scratching the guides on some of my planes, so I also filed/sanded that down a little bit. All-in-all though, I use it daily and it works fine. That being said I actually wish I had added a true tail vise to the bench. Not because the inset vise doesn't work, just that I wish I had the added functionality of an end vise on that side.

Thanks Dove! I used a few in this video - a couple of Lie Nielsen’s (block and jack plane), a Veritas smoothing plane, and a vintage Stanley jack. The new planes are great, but there’s something lovely about using an older one as well.

How much weight do washers add?

@TheWirelessWoodworker

3 жыл бұрын

That’s a good question and I actually don’t have a super accurate way to measure it, but a little estimating based on the packaging weight of the washers looks like it adds 6-7oz to the weight of the head. Overall now it weighs a little more than my other 20oz mallet.

I have done very similar with Woodprix designs.
