I like the shirt saying “this is not a drill”. Underneath it should say “so brace yourself”.

Oh very nice !!! Rex introduced me to the Studley chest and have been eyeing some of the tool kits out now for replicating various tools from the chest. I like it, very... well.... Studley

That looks really fun to make! Katalox is one of my favorite woods to work with. So hard and dense, but accepts hand tools really well. Most of the time, I don't even use a finish. I sand to a really high grit and hit it with my buffing wheel and the natural oil in the wood creates a nice semi gloss sheen. It would be great if the seller had an Etsy shop or if Taylor Tools sold these as a kit.

I started work on my own with a friend.. useing a hammer with my chissle (Because it has a metal back and i checked wirh my teacher so yes it slightly damages the back but nothing too bad) And using my drill with a spade bit.. were useing scraps that "fell off the back of a truck" from a skip .. (i think the builders gave my grandparents permission to take or dump what they want but anyway) And of course this isn't the greatest wood but it seems to work.. ita been fun hanging out with my friend

Nice Mallet, An honest question, are you certain that's a piece of Katalox? I've no experience with Katalox but I have a reasonable amount with Ekki/Azobe, and the face grain with the white streaks and red hue looked very like Ekki to me. I did some reading around and they've got very similar properties, a close look at the end grain and you'll be able to make sure what it is though :) Only reason I ask is I'd hate for you to be being sold fairly cheap Ekki as if it was rather expensive Katalox.

The force of swing it drives the head up. if if is not flared then the head will work off handle over time.

Really nice build, looks great! Looks somewhat larger than the Studley, difficult to tell, as you did not give dimensions. The original had beech infill and a rosewood handle... I would not have been able to resist fitting the side triangles and the brass button in the base. Edit- discovered they are 2lb castings. The Studley weighed 17oz all up...
