Making Mallets is fun!

And it's the way to get the right tool for the job.
The biggest 4 saw use on a timber frame project a few years ago and since then just occasional use.
The smaller Purpleheart and Oak mallet is used every day for joinery. The surface is starting to spall so I may repair it or make a new one soon.
The little one (Gumby) also gets used most days. It's great for delicate joinery. It was just a scrap of Maple that needed just a bit of rounding and sanding.
