Making Abe Lincoln's Mystery Mallet! // "IMPOSSIBLE" Woodworking Joinery

PLANS FOR THIS MALLET NOW AVAILABLE! www.thirdcoastcraftsman.com/p...
Making Abe Lincolns Impossible Mystery Puzzle Mallet using some pretty crazy woodworking joinery. Tapered Ramped Sliding Dovetails.
Designed was inspired by Roy Underhill's rendition of the fabled mallet that was made by Abraham Lincoln. I couldn't find any pictures of drawings of the original, just what Roy had put out and a guy named Stephen Shepherd. I used my dimensions but you can find plans for both Roys and Stephens with a quick google search. Best of luck if you try this yourself, its a super fun project!

    The reason I didn’t soak/boil the tenons or steam them is because that would have caused the wood to swell quite a bit and REALLY would have prevented me from assembling the mallet. Then if I trimmed down the tenons so they did fit major gaps would appear as the wood dried and shark. Plus major cracking and checking would likely occur in the end grain.

And heck they even have been camping in a parking lot for two days just to make sure they'd be there early enough so the kids can go to the dentist too.

    Un Beatable “free healthcare” would only put more Americans in poverty, since healthcare is so ridiculously expensive here. Forcing people to pay for it would put even more of us into poverty, and is also some commie bullshit. What about people who never go to college or rarely need healthcare? You’re forcing two huge taxes on them that don’t benefit them in anyway, and they don’t have a choice. At least now college and healthcare only hurt people who chose it themselves. The real solution is to lower costs somehow. I don’t know how it could happen but it would be far better than the communist solution.

    Power tools can make this easier to rough in, but without some kinda crazy 5-axis mill, I can't see doing the finish part of the joinery any other way than by hand... this is coming from a guy who has spent some serious time trying to figure out how to do exactly this to mass-produce a smaller version with a brass head. Possible, but the set-up costs make it so I'd have to sell a half-million of them to break even. :/

    Safety is incredibly important. The emergency off switch for the vertical spindle sander wasn't accessible with your foot or knee, so when I lost control of my piece I tried to shut it off, and almost got my neck taken out by the work. I ended up catching it in my hands before it hurt anyone else (was all that went through my head at the time), and my hand was torn in half as a result. The piece blew apart and put a hole in a plywood cabinet door. It doesn't take long for something relatively harmless to turn incredibly dangerous at that RPM.

No, but then my friends don’t go through my shop so I have to keep showing my mallet to my bulldog and try to see if she is impressed. She seems more impressed when I show her a treat. You need to have a son or daughter who hopefully will be interested in wood working so they can continue to show your mallet off to folks and tell em, my dad made this mallet in 2021. Then you’ll be proud, but be careful as pride has its downfalls. Nice mallet.

    Hilariously enough, despite Abraham Lincoln having worked as a rail splitter, he despised physical labor . His father rented him out to neighbors for long hours and then took all his money (all the money one earned until age 18 went to one’s parents in those days) . It might be that this early experience eventually lead to Lincoln’s anti-slavery stance, and in turn, the emancipation of all the slaves . Bonus: Lincoln was quite the inventor . He designed a sort of airbag that prevented ships from sinking in shallow water, he is the only American President with a patent for his invention. Great work ! Beautiful mallet !

    Abraham lincoln did not really have a big problem with slavery. In many of his debates, he avoided saying negative things about slavery. Around the time the civil war started, he was much more concerned with keeping the states together than fighting slavery. He made the emancipation proclamation to help keep the states together because it only "freed" the slaves in confederate states that did not return to the union. Once the civil war ended, Lincoln had plans to ship former slaves to Africa, but he got shot of course.

    Tyler Brown Lincoln’s views on slavery evolved over the course of the war, he saw the necessity of good soldiers in the war and the negro men who fought for the Union proved themselves to be formidable warriors. Lincoln initially said disparaging things about blacks during the campaign (particularly in southern or border states, he was a politician after all) but his view that slavery was an immoral and cruel system never changed. This modern view of Lincoln as just as racist as anyone else in that time is missing the point, he was a complex man, but a great man nonetheless. In his last speech he even spoke of negro suffrage and citizenship, the first president to even consider blacks as citizens. His views changed, the mark of a brilliant and admirable man .

Theranos, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump Goldman Sachs are amongst the biggest takers of other peoples money in the world. America too. Your petrodollar system, for example, is the product of the largest crybaby bully in the playground. The way Americans cry if tax goes up by a cent, then cheer as the cost of housing goes up by dollars shows how well owned they are by neoliberalism.

You can mark it easily with your thumbnail. It is just about the last wood you would choose for a mallet head. Fine if it is just for show, like this mallet. It's beautiful wood for cutting neat joints in, and for a KZread clip it nicely shows up the quality of the joinery, so it serves its purpose well in this video. Just don't hit anything with it!!

    Aside from the remarkable woodworking, your video production is finely crafted! You narrate in post-production (professional touch), and say just what needs to be said, without side-tracks, into your personal life, or diatribes, regarding tools, or whatever. Quick aside: we do not need any more members, of the curmudgeon-woodworkers-with-a-channel-tribe. Quota filled, thank you! ;-) Your editing, causes the boring parts to disappear, or go into hyper-drive, while the satisfying parts are shot, in closeup. And thanks, for keeping the - appropriate - music, dialed UNDER the sound of the hand tools! For the life of me, I cannot understand, why so many Producers, of craft content, insist upon take-no-prisoners death-metal, at 101 decibels! Cheers!

    it's both incredibly satisfying and totally heart wrenching... satisfying when you make something awesome like this hammer, heart wrenching when you get 50+hours into a piece and realize something screwed/is going to screw up. SOMETIMES you can adjust and fix the issue, but far more often you have scrap anywhere from 20 minutes (annoying) to a few days' (devastating, but not the end of the world ) work to correct the mistake. Patience, a keen eye for detail, and understand your materials and tools mitigate a lot of it, but things still go south.

    This brings back memories of my dad ( RIP dad ) he was a gunsmith. He did all of his carving with hand tools. Including metal filing on the actions etc. Burl to Birds Eye maple, hands of steel making shavings thinner than onion skin. I learned life lessons just watching him for hours. Respect your work piece, do not rush, when you do anything- do it right, and do it right the first time. Thanks.

    Thank you brother. 13 months ago I became inspired to do attempt woodworking. I built a workbench from 2x4s using only a claw hammer, a rusty handsaw, and a set of Stanley chisels i got from Lowes. All the joints were halflap and only a couple were loose. This was due to the hook on the tape measure being bent, creating an extra 1/8 and me not realizing it until too late. Shortly after I started purchasing power tools and such and stopped using hand tools. I recently bought a set of Narex chisels in the hope of rekindling that desire. Well, you sir, have done just that. For that I thank you sincerely.
