Thread: One of those days two

Hiya Ray

I really like that mallet - looks like a good size, not too big or small, a solid head and shouldn't need too much swinging room to use it.

Your depth gauge is pretty neat too.

cheers

Thanks Wendy .....after the day I had I am amazed they turned out to survive not being thrown into the street or bin.
Yeh the handle of the mallet is a bit ugly and cheap I'll have to find something better to replace it with.

So the handle is a test # 1 Perhaps not such a bad idea after all, as that will give you a chance to use the mallet and reshape the handle to suit you better.

Mallet already been used great for sharp taps which need wait and with my hand grip its great shape. It was supposed to have been Huon pine a piece I had laying around and it was the first thing I put into the lathe after getting it back (had an electrical fault) but as you can see just plain old pine.

Wont take long to make another I picked up a firewood block today at father inlaws too good for firewood I thought but I have to also make him a couple of new chisle handls as well. I have taken a photo of the block post them later on.
I like the size of the handle maybe a little longer would be nice.
