THE FLIPPING IDIOT VS THE WOODCRAFT 290G BRASS MALLET HEAD!

This video is a Condensed version of my experience, using one of Woodcraft’s brass mallet heads from their turning products, and some Myrtlewood from Oregon to create a mallet with a head that weighs just over 10 ounces, so a bit more than half a pound.  If you are a serious Woodturner with all the gadgets, this is a pretty easy project that would probably take less than an hour to build. It would go very quickly with a lathe, a tail stock chuck, a 9/16 Forstner bit to make the cavity for the threaded insert that receives the mallet head screw, not half inch drill bit the directions called for. So I wasted a lot of time, and I actually cracked the neck of my handle, trying to insert the threaded inserts into the half-inch cavity that was drilled out initially with the blank on my leg. The insert I received with the kit is different than the wood insert pictured on the website.  The solution was to just go up at 16th with a 9/16 Forstner bit I picked up on clearance from a woodworking store along time ago. Using a drill and the 9/16 bit I was able to enlarge the hole in my blank and then the insert dropped right in and was secured in place with some five minute epoxy. Overall, I am very happy with the kit, because I ended up with a nice brass mallet with a piece of wood with some sentimental value and I purchased the mail and had it when it was on sale for $11.99. That is substantially less expensive and a lot of other brass mallets out there and I was able to customize it with my choice of wood.  One curious thing about the kit that I received is that there is a threaded rod that runs into the brass mallet head, and then turns into the threaded wood insert, and the threaded rod is loose.  So if you pick up some 3/8 wood inserts, you could actually swap the head between different handles if you wanted to keep it loose or if you really wanted to lock the head in you could pick up some 3/8 rod and extend the steel well into the handle beyond the threaded insert and lock it in place with some epoxy. Here is the link to the handle. There is also a heavier version of the mallet kit at 520 g for more money.
