♫ εηdεd ♫ 2018 Mallet Swap

Finally got time to take photo and upload.

This appears to be a fraternal twin to the one @Sprung got!

Now to get the finishing touches on the ones I have going out.

Yep, I made 3 actually. A neighbor lets me use his shop once in awhile so I gave him one too. He said he wasn't going to use it only look at it or use it to threaten his wife. Kinda bummed he won't use it. Not worried about his wife I'm pretty sure she can take him, ha ha ha.

I have gotten low on seasoned wood so I had to put together what I thought would work out of what I had. They are heavy woods and I have been trying to come up with a good project for that Eucalyptus for awhile.

If'n it helps you feel any better about your neighbor not using his, I've already used mine!

Mine got used as well, removing the handwheel and main shaft on a 100 year old sewing machine
 
@Schroedc and @Blueglass - I'm going to apologize, but I might be a few days late on getting your mallets completed and mailed out. I really wanted to get the air conditioner going in the garage this weekend and get them done, but my window AC unit crapped out. So right now it's 90 degrees in the garage - too hot to do anything in there. I'm buying a new AC unit this week and should be up and going out there and have the mallets done sometime next weekend.
 
Lets see... Minnesota's to darn cold to work, & now in May it's to darn hot to work. :ponder::headscratch2:
Why even live there!
Maybe you should move to Hawaii or some where!!

I'm pretty sure I will live. A/C I do all my work outside in FL. I think you might be spoiling yourself. I don't blame you. I'll be happy whenever it gets here.

Minnesota got to 100 today according to the weather channel. :ponder:
 
We started out the month with temps below average and are now well above average. We pretty much skipped spring, going straight from winter into summer. Having had heat stroke, these temps just aren't for me - ever since then I just cannot tolerate heat and even 80 is often too hot for me.

We didn't quite hit 100 in my corner of MN today. We only got to 99! :scare3:
