Making a Joiners Mallet Using Only Hand Tools
Today we are spending most of our time outside, enjoying this beautiful spring weather, and making a Joiners Mallet.
I start with cutting a downed log for my materials, then splitting out the head from the handle. I continue shaping the head with hatchet, and saw, and then move onto shaping the handle on my draw horse with draw knife, and spoke shave. Lastly I use my bit and brace to drill a hole in the head, fit the handle, then attach it with a hand cut kerf and wedge. I finish everything off indoors with my hand plane, and a good coating of boiled linseed oil.
This was a great way to spend a few hours, and hopefully gives you some inspiration to break out those hand tools and see what you can make. Let me know what you think in the comments below, and share what you have made.

I appreciate this video, because it's the first video that shows how to make a wooden mallet with minimal tools. Other videos show how to make a mallet with 'minimal' tools, and those include a table saw, drill press, belt sander and bandsaw... thank you for doing this!
Loved that mallet!
Loved it, great seeing the whole process from a fallen log through to the end product. Pleasure to watch as always.👍
Should have waited to ask...Yes it is! Love that thing, I started a stockpile of Half Hatchets to give that a try.
Your instruction is the easiest to follow that I have found. The filming and narration follow one and other. Happy I found you.
Good work. I like hand tools.
Nice video 👍🏻
Beautiful well done.

Nice project, thanks for bringing us along!
Good Job 👍👍👍👋👋👋🇩🇪🤝🤝🤝
I only just started watching your channel, but I watch a lot of different crafting channels. I have to say that yours is the most instructional, well made, easiest to understand videos I've come across. Thanks for doing what you do and I'm excited to recreate some of these ideas!!!
Great video. I've made a round (sculptor's?) mallet from a single log. I've been looking for something like this for making a square head mallet. So many great tips. Thanks.
