Make one out of wood.

Make one out of wood.

Now tell him which plane to use and how to hold it

Now tell him which plane to use and how to hold it

I would never presume to do that, as we all have our ways of skinning a cat....  But I haven't seen Steve use one of these:

which we all intuitively know are absolutely essential for making a serviceable mallet!

Jeeze, Steve. Why didn't you get more vitamins instead?

I hope both the Guinness and the hammer followed you home!

[bandit571]

1/2 of the Guinness is now gone....

Since Paul Sellers seems to like that style of hammer, thought i would at least try one.

As for a wooden mallet...

BTDT several years ago....

[Admiral]

I've turned a few myself; I was thinking of a jointers mallet! :-)

[bandit571]

Had to retire that wooden mallet...

I have actually used a hammer similar to Bandit's for decades-hard plastic face and soft rubber face. Craftsman brand and now available at Lowes. Worked very well. Lesser used is a "Wood is Good" brand round mallet.
