Title: Chisel Hammers
Post by: Kbeitz on August 16, 2017, 07:10:26 AM
Or Wooden Mallets. I did not have one...( none found at the junkyard)
So I made two out of ash...

I have a couple that I turned on the lathe.  Noticed how banged up they are from use and need to make a couple like yours.

Nice mallets, they will come be handy.  I can't count the number of previously nice socket chisels that I have seen that were ruined by someone using a steel hammer.

Good chisel mallets indeed Kbeitz. I really like your handle design.

I know the head will never come off. This is what it looks like inside the head.

I saw that the heads were glue-ups and I should have realized that you are smarter than the average bear.  Very nifty design.   smiley_thumbsup
