Using a Round Mallet

Although we think of it as belonging to an older way of working wood, the round mallet is a technological marvel. The wooden mallet does minimal damage to your chisels on impact, and the damage you do to the mallet is spread over such a broad surface that the mallet itself seems indestructible. The light weight insures that your muscles don’t tire and gives you superb control over how deep the chisel cuts. And because you can use the entire circumference of the wooden cylinder as a striking surface, you don’t have to worry about the orientation of the mallet when you strike. But there is one more advantage to this design that has faded into history as more and more of the woodworking we once did with hand tools is now accomplished with electric power. If you spend hours each day gripping a mallet, you are in danger of developing carpal tunnel, tendonitis, tennis elbow, nerve compression, and numbness in your arm, hand, and fingers. The round design helps to avoid all of that. Simply relax you grip on the upstroke, just enough that the mallet begins to spin, and grip it again on the downstroke just before you make contact with the chisel. This small movement momentarily relaxes the muscles and tendons, forestalling the physical damage that a tight grip and repetitive motion might otherwise do. And the round striking surface insures the mallet will always be properly positioned for a strike no matter how far it may roll when you relax your grip.
