I make replaceable blade craft knives. They're like an xacto but really freaking nice. Links and info at personmakeobject.com

I've put some more mallets up in my storefront. There's some good wood in there!

Much appreciated. They're getting close!

The brass/resin + stainless hardware is cast in a silicone mold that I made from a delrin positive I turned. Wood handle blank gets roughed out and shoulder cut for tendon then glued onto the head. Final turning shapes the brass ring and handle but barely touches the cast head.

Because it's the Department of Justice's responsibility to prosecute crime's, not Congress'?

Your question got me wondering if a more spherical head would be useful for metalforming in one of those leather shotbags thingies. Need to do a little research...

Weight's are finishing at 16-16.5oz. This mallet would be useful for woodworking, metalwork, leathercraft, jewelery, etc, as long as you're striking blunt tools and objects. Also, it's really freaking nice!

PersonMadeMallet is go!
The head is a composite of elastomeric urethane resin and brass grains. ~75% of the density of solid brass with some dampening from the urethane to protect your chisel's handles won't be damaged. This mallet should work equally well for joinery or carving tasks. #woodworking

Special Security Reasons sounds an awful lot like Putin's Special Military Operation (aka invasion) of Ukraine.

The PersonMadeMallet is happening. Form has been refined and processes improving. Getting psyched about how they're coming out.

Perhaps as a percentage, but do the same number still identify as Republican?

The #personmademallet is close to release. I've learned a LOT from casting variables and tweaking processes. There's more to learn and improve, but the next batch I make will be the first ready for market. They're unique and there's nothing else quite like them.

Sometimes distractions can be pretti and good. Today I'm took some time off from looking out for neighbors and documenting crimes committed by federal agents to work on the PersonMadeMallet. It's getting close.
Peace and strength my friends.

Making progress on the urethane/brass mallet idea. Exploring resin options, working out processes, subtle tweaks to handle shape, working on a jig for testing. Getting feedback at a maker meet-up this week then sending a few out to alpha testers. #woodworking #crafts #tools

It's early, but I think it has promise. Can I put you on the test list Ben?

Here's the results of the 6in1 screwdriver build mash up video I shared yesterday. I'll be interesting to see what these do at an upcoming holiday market.

Working on some 6in1 screwdrivers with fluted three lobe handles. Beautiful hardwood is much nicer to hold on to than character-free plastic. Hardware harvested from drivers on sale for $2.50ea at a big box store.

Hey, I made some more of those crafty knives. Wood is cool. Life's too short for crappy tools. What are you making?

Minnesota Woodworkers Guild doesn't have a BlueSky account yet, so I'll see what happens if I share this here.
Woodworkers Expo, 11 October, MN State Fairgrounds. Wood is good. Be there.

Looking at thermal label printers. It seems like you pay 100+% more for one to just have an actual word for it's brand name. Except Rollo isn't a word... I'm leaning toward "Gloryang" at the moment.
