Turning a Mallet on a Wood Lathe
Posted By admin in Woodworking
Highlights from a video made about turning a Wooden Mallet on a Wood Lathe. Available at www.DoItYourselfVideoStore.com. Project was originally designed for Junior High students but anyone starting out on the lathe will find that this can be one of the early projects they can make. The handle is oval shaped.

It is dangerous wearing your sleeves that close to your turning work.

Yes, you are quite right although an oval is not what makes a mallet. This being a sample of about 40 minutes some things do get covered more quickly. However at 2:50 and on you will see detailed instructions on making the oval shape of the handle. Thanks for watching.

Why do you hold the wood shavings on the handle? Oh great video by the way.

The wood shavings …
The wood shavings on the handle technique is called burnishing. It is actually one step beyond the last sanding grit. Kind of like rubbing your hands together til they “burn”ish. It just makes everything polished and much smoother than sandpaper. Thanks for watching.

I think I was using oak in that video. I have used many other woods, some are much better than others because of strength or splintering problems. Poplar(aspen) and ash tend to be poorer as finsihed products. Oak and mahogany are nice because of the tighter grain. Exotic grains like fruit trees might be nice too but the knots in small pieces like the handle might break.
