This is why I love KZread. All the creative people expressing them selves. Wonderfull video.

This is the second video of yours that I've watched now. My jaw was still in the floor from the first one. Yours is some amazing and original stuff! I haven't time for anymore video watching, as I'm already late to band practice. Will be difficult to focus with mental pictures of this incredible mallet in my head! So glad to find your channel and very much look forward to seeing more of your builds/ products/ etc...

Love it when science meets craftsmanship!!!

That was very interesting. The almost American comment got me haha

This is an amazing mallet. Brilliant execution and a fancy jacket.

Art, science, and educational. Your videos are so wonderful.

Incredible work and inventiveness

this may be the most beautiful thing i have ever seen

This turned out to be a very nice hammer. But no music and no black screen would make this video one of the better ones.

Amazing design and fantastic video. I learned so much and laughed so many times 😊. I really like how you anticipated the technical questions and answered them so well. 👍

I applaud your ingenuity, engineering and craftspersonship! Well done!

Superb video, very educational! I really enjoyed the theory, then the tests and finally the demonstration. All this for a very beautiful and functional object, combining different techniques. You have a wide range of skills! 🤩💪

As always a very interesting bit of engineering! Love your work, have fun using it!

Fabulous idea!!!!! editing musically a pleasure congratulations from Argentina from a subscriber!

I truly enjoyed your process and artistic flair. I'm a bit late to commentary, You've earned my sub and like. I'm looking forward to more content!

A mallet wearing suspenders, perfect

Loved the video! Really enjoyed the design and metalworking aspect of the cylinders.

cool video! i've seen probably 4 or 5 different people making dead blow hammers, and yours was by far the most interesting one and the coolest end product. weirdly, none of the other hammers were wearing a sexy leather garter. i bet people will imitate your hydraulic model.

I actually already have a deadblow hammer with weights suspended in fluid! It's just that the weights are BBs and the fluid is air. This is incredible work. There aren't enough people designing new hand tools nowadays. Thank you for sharing, I'll definitely be making one for myself.

That smooth sax jazz at the end is the perfect melody for such a sexy piece of woodworking. The amount of love poured into this piece is the essence of great art. We get 15 minutes of bliss watching raw materials transmute into a completely new creation... like watching a super time-lapse of plants growing and blooming from a minuscule seed. The idea is the seed, and this hammer an exotic orchid. You get to be the mother to these projects, giving birth to your thoughts and nursing them to maturity for god knows how many hours it took you to complete this. I guess what i'm saying is that i envy and admire you for that and thank you so much for sharing.

Awesome. Nice proyect and filming.

Nice craftsmanship. Just wow..

That was amazing. Thank you for sharing!

Outstanding creation, the hammer, and video!

This is over-engineered awesomeness! I love it.

Love your videos, your tools are functional as well as beautifully made. Inspiration.

Man that is an amazing mallet! Marvelous work

I love your original and interesting ways in accomplishing a different take on what tools and storage can be. I just found your channel but I can easily tell that I will be interested in seeing you’re future projects and am excited that I get to be so early on in the growth of your channel. I look forward to having a front row seat on watching your channel growth! I also enjoy your mix of technical know how and nerdy humor you bring to your videos.

Absolutely brilliant and a very absorbing watch. You are obviously extremely talented! I am shocked you haven't got more likes, or more subscribers.

I do love woodworking so I will be checking out your other videos (this was the first I encountered)..

"...almost made me feel American" caused me to spit morning coffee. 👍

As always very interesting. And funny too, love your comments. Thanks for the video.

Since it can only be used one way, finger grooves on the handle might make it easier to index blind.

You have quite an original mind, then you also have the skills to match.

This is totally, ridiculously, over-the-top over-engineered. And I love it! And then the kinky leather harness? That's a 'subscribe' from me.

This is one of the most overcomplicated, ridiculous and niche things I've ever seen. It took ages to build and is only marginally more effective than just buying a cheap dead-blow hammer. I love it! It's beautiful, effective, well thought-out (wonderful testing montage btw), lovely finish. The only thing that I'm less than enthusiastic about is the way the leather is attached, but I can see why it was done that way and there's nothing wrong with it! I need to get my hands on some wood so I can finish a few of the projects I have in mind...

This video got my Sub! Most impressive design and build as well as your versatile tool collection. A diverse tool kit with some quality home made ones sets the stage for higher levels of learning and achievement, imho. Nice, simple test setup too and quite good videography throughout. Looking forward to the tool box completion. BTW, no need to be anything but yourself, you've got lots of chops...take it from a well traveled old geezer if you like. Hat Tip, ~PJ

Is it overkill ? of course it is, Would i like to make one ? of course i would :) You do overcomplicated projects that are worth doing not just for the result but also for the joy of doing them. Also, i like the way you explain how you do different things, you don't go into overly long explanations but give enough details that we can understand how it works and how to make it ourselfs.

Amazing idea, im wondering about making a steel one where the tube of the head is one big cylinder

ok youre so amazing x

Wow, this is really cool. I got looped in with the toolbox video and starting to go through some of your other projects. You are a multidisciplinary adept, for sure. I wonder what if you swapped the direction of two of the cylinders? Would it be bidirectional but half as effective? Would it cause seepage past the O rings if you did?

That was serious work, it looks great and seems to work good too. And it's really nice to watch your videos, the "almost American" made me laugh, I had to stop the video for a while!

This is beautiful, do you make these on Etsy too, or is this one of a kind?

Okay, crazy idea time - dead blow hammer with Mercury as the fluid and tungsten as the weight.

I want one

I just looked for "make a dead blow mallet". I never expected to find a video on making the sexiest fluid dynamics bondage mallet in existence.

Жыл бұрын

I'm happy to provide such videos aha

Amazing work how can I get one how much

That is so cool. I was just thinking about a dead blow hammer that used liquid somehow, and your video popped up in suggestions. Obviously your execution is much more cleaver than anything I could come up with. Please don't breath in the solder fumes!

Science! 😀

This is an ingenious tool that not only works as good as the best of them but looks better than most! You know, you could easily make the action bidirectional if you added a second spring on the other end of the weight, so you wouldn't have to mind whether you hold the hammer properly or not. Of course that may lessen the travel of the weight and thus the effect... Hmm, food for thought and maybe some testing? BTW, 357magdad would love this, wood, brass and steel are his favorite materials in tools.

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes thats true! Though it would make the hammer longer. I'm also concerned it may make it feel heavier to swing sonce it would resist to the swing as well. Perhaps the effect would be of trivial consequence though. With my design as it is, the rear cap is also not strong enough to take regular impacts. But all and all I do think it would be possible!

I long to afford the time to problem solve and complete projects at this level. It just seems to be commission after commission on top of emergency structural work ATM. Love your content, and your brain :-)

I'm going to suggest that the sand test's poor performance at 6:20 was partially because the sand is already sitting on the bottom of the chamber when dropped and accelerates at the same rate (or faster) than the tube its in. In a deadblow mallet, the mallet changes position and likely accelerates faster (and in a different direction) than the mallet, bringing the sand to the middle or back of the chamber, making it more effective than in your test. Of course, that wouldn't apply to light downward chisel strikes, but not many people use a deadblow on a chisel. Still, your hydraulic setup seems really nice. I'm sure it still works better than a sand deadblow. I mean, the fluid is going to impart force on the head nearly instantaneously where the sand could take a small amount of time to force the mallet head back down after bouncing.

@forkmonkey

3 жыл бұрын

Was thinking the same thing - the sand cylinders didn't quite get a fair shake (ha) in the drop test because there was no acceleration faster than free-fall to shift the sand backwards as there would be in a hammer blow. Not to take away from the superb construction and cool concept - just being fastidious about the testing.

What would be the theoretical differences between oils? Ie: what other oil did you think of using?

2 жыл бұрын

With different oils i could tune the difference in how easily the weight moves. Which would mean, a thicker oil could be used for hitting hard and a thinner oil could be used for hitting softly. It's probably excessive, but in theory it could be tuned as such. And I would have used remote-control car shock oils, they are sold in all kinds of weights and you can buy them in small quantities

Utterly maniacal. If you made a 6 or 8 cylinder version you could sell them to the military for tens of thousands each

Another superb build, The leather ensemble look like it belongs in a fetish boutique ! Did you consider one larger cylinder, would that have worked ?

2 жыл бұрын

A single larger cylinder would work well I presume but it introduces a new challenge. The handle would then need to be fixed to the cylinder itself since it cannot go through the cylinder to be mounted like a regular mallet handle. I'm looking at trying it but it will turn this into a machining project more than a woodworking one

Nice build! Would you be so kind to tell me which wood the hammerhead is made of?
