I am glad I found your channel. I actually had some trees taken down behind my house, and decided to manually split the logs which resulted. After seeing some of the interesting shapes and grains in the firewood, I wanted to do some unique projects with them. I searched woodworking with firewood, and came across your channel through the small box you made with just a chisel and mallet. Here I am now, subbed, and picking up tools by the day. I love the way I connect with the wood, and project, through hand tools. It is something I never quite experienced with power tools. Also, going from log to finished project is something I have enjoyed very much. I literally have blood, sweat, and occasionally tears in almost all my hand done projects.

OK, why the "not square" faces? Looks like your hands could get too close to the work. (Yes, I did just sign up. It seems that most of the people I follow, make stuff. Or, repair it.) Oh, was that wood from the trip to the South? I liked that episode. steve

Thanks Benjamin that means a lot.

I'm like 3 years late on this but I have a bunch of questions about this video: 1) what was wrong with the old mallets that you didn't like? 2) why is it called cactus juice? it's obviously not made from actual cactus juice 3) why not do more of the shaping and drilling it out for the handle before you stabilize them? 4) why did you finish the hammering surface when you know it's just going to get wacked away immediately on use? 5) shouldn't the angle of the mallet be based on the length of the handle? wouldn't the larger mallet have a shallower angle than the smaller one? 6) what did Leo and his crew thinks about the new mallets that you've made?

@WoodByWright

Жыл бұрын

1. The old mallets had square faces rather than having an angle to them and it makes you hit things off angle. If you tried one you know they just don't feel right. 2. Cactus juice is the brand name for the stabilizing fluid. 3. If I did all the shaping before the stabilizing then the shape changes after the stabilization as the wood absorbs all of the resin. So I have to do most of the shaping afterwards once the head has taken its final shape. 4. It is best practice to finish all faces so that the wood absorbs moisture at the same rate. Otherwise you'll have some surfaces that swell slightly more. Where the water can get in faster. Not to mention it just looks odd if you don't finish it. 5. You actually grip a mallet right up at the head. A hammer you want to hold all the way down at the base so you have a full amount of leverage. But for the mallet you hold it up next to the head. The reason you have the rest of the handle is for balance. If you've ever tried to use one with a short handle you'll know it just feels wrong. And as to the angle that's personal preference wherever it feels good to you. Some people like it with a slightly more shallow and some people like it with a slightly more aggressive it depends on how you swing your hand. It's the fulcrum is not where your hand is at it's how you swing your arm. 6. They use them quite extensively over the last few years.

Good on you for helping out Tally Ho once again.
