I’m going to make this mallet for my dad for Father’s Day. What were some headaches or notes you used when making the mallet?

Hey, I purchased these plans and then signed up as a patron. I made this mallet over the last few days and love it.

Taylor Schalmo

Thanks so much, makes sense! One other question I had, when watching the video, it seems like you have your mallet head finished/sealed before even cutting mortise / curves. Am I mistaken in seeing that? If not, why finish the piece before you cut? I'm new and honestly dont know. Also, what did you use to finish the piece? So many questions 🙈

Rex Krueger

I'm so glad you're enjoying it. The handle goes through the narrow side. I should have made that clear in the plans.

Taylor Schalmo

Thanks!

Rex, I'm loving all of your content man, it's amazing for me as a beginner to come in and learn so much! I'm so hooked. I just cut my mallet head from a big maple round I've had sitting around. Split it and sawed down then planned to a perfect 6"x3"x2 3/4" stoked to keep going. Doing this all by hand. I had a question, does the handle go through the 2 3/4" side or the 3" side? I guess another way to ask this, which side gets the 7 degree angle cut for the faces?

thank you

Rex Krueger

You too, jack! Thanks for being here!

I have been enjoying your Youtube videos for a while now. Strange that this build would be the one to tip the scales for me to contribute on Patreon. I really enjoy your keep-it-simple style and how you encourage everyone to try, with or without the high-priced tools. That's how some of us got started to begin with! Rock on, Rex!

Thank you :)

Rex Krueger

Yeah, I need more help around here. I'm over-worked and I forget stuff.

Steve Crane

I'm seeing a pattern here. 😃

Rex Krueger

Whoops! Forgot the attachment. Sorry about that!

Todd Fox

Not sure what the dimensions on the head are. I'll also have to do some math for the handle length. Is there an attachment I'm missing? I'm really excited to see it and look forward to building it.
