Awhile back I posted a series of blogs about fun with clamps.

Here is the finished project. It has three coats of Minwax finishing wax on it. The chamfers on the head were done by hand. The handle was rounded over using a 3/8 round over bit on the router.
The log it is sitting on is a project for another day this winter.

Now that would certainly raise a knot on your head. Bet it will come in handy quite often.

I bet that mallet took a lot longer than you thought it would :) Maybe it is just me but I am surprised at how much time it takes to make anything. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the time spent and the process is as much fun as using/giving the thing made. So what are you going to use that mallet for, what are you going to make next?

Hey Buck,
That is one Bodacious Knockometer!! I pity anything that gets hit with it so, keep it away from Moma or make sure you are wearing your cast iron cowboy hat. Good one.

This is very good. They sell these for $25-$80 at our local woodoworkers store. I have been meaning to make one myself. Thanks for sharing!

It works really well. I used to drive dowels in the gun rack and set the slats on the butt stock assembly. It packs a good thump.
Thanks everyone.

I made a couple of these and I use them all the time. What do you think about gluing a leather face on it?
