Looks great.  Last couple of mallets I turned I just burned in caning wax and polished with paper bag.  Yours looks much nicer.

Haven't watched the video, and I'd rather just ask.  How does one loosen titebond?  Heat and moisture like all the others?

That would be amazing.  His skill level was/is through the roof so it would be great to see it.  I only managed to catch a couple episodes, but if on youtube I know I'll be watching them all.

Looking forward to the update.  I like your build alongs, not everything needs to be fine furniture made from mahogany.  Sometimes a stool made from pine scraps is the most fun in the shop.
