HANDS-ON: Make a mallet that actually fits your hand
This demo touches on all the basic tools of spindle turning. I will show the use a spindle roughing gouge, spindle detail gouge, parting tool, and a scraper. I’ll shape the 4 parts of a mallet and select a volunteer from the audience to make the measurements and make a mallet to the specific size of their hand. We will add some decoration if time allows.
