Topic tags/keywords: question chisel mallet

I ave seen many great mallets on LJ’s for awhile now, and this weekend I made my daughters toddler bed. During that process I did a lot of chisel work and all I had was a deadblow hammer. Tis worked ok, but I figured if I had to cut more than what I did, I we be at it all week!

I decided I wanted to build one for this purpose. I have searched, like others have, for plans and the like, but have come up with nothing.

Can anyone tell me where I can find some, what wood to use, and basic dimentions?

Thanks for reading,

-- Semper Fi, Randy Sr.

try these plans. Depending on the size of the holes you drill you can adjust the weight.

I have a story on a simple carvers mallet. I made a bunch of them in different sizes and styles, gasve some away but keep several around the shop because one was hardly ever close at hand when I need one!

I have built some mallets (see here if you like) out of black locust from my garden. The best shape – in my experience – is that of the first link posted by Lew.

I have made a couple of mallets, (see projects), and they are rather easy. There are many ways to make them as there are styles…
