In this video, I take you through the process of turning a brand-new wooden mallet on the lathe. My old mallet has seen better days, so it’s time to retire it and craft a new one. I'll show you step-by-step how to shape the mallet head and handle, select the right wood, and finish it off for durability. Whether you're into woodworking or just love seeing tools come to life, this project is a satisfying blend of form and function. Join me in the shop and let's get turning!
