Hey, is this thing on?
My name is Kevin and I make things. Most notably of late are these replaceable blade knives that can be used for woodworking, leathercraft, scale modeling, really almost any other sort of craft you can think of. Basically they're like an xacto knife but really freaking nice.

Using a positive model to cast a silicone mold to cast a tough and resilient urethane brass composite #PersonMadeMallet head with a stainless steel core and shaft that will get paired with an exquisite, one-of-a-kind hardwood handle. I am positively, negatively, positive!

PersonMadeMallet numbers 71-82 wrapping up. Each little batch is getting a little easier and a little better. Elastomeric urethane resin bonds brass particles with a stainless steel core and shaft to make a compact and dense mallet with just enough dampening to prevent damage to tool handles.

Northern Woods Exhibition will be on display April 23-26 at Eden Prairie Center. It's a great opportunity to see the work of a bunch of great Minnesota Woodworkers. I have some pieces on display too. Meet the Makers is Saturday 2pm-4pm.

PersonMadeMallet 27-42 getting finished up and listed this week. Getting more efficient and consistent. Some really nice new woods in this batch. Muirapixuna completely new to me (never heard of it!) - hard, fine dark grain, polished beautifully! (want to keep it!)

Roughing out handles for PersonMadeMallet. The urethane brass composite head is 75% of the density of solid brass while the urethane gives just enough dampening to protect your tools. A few available - find my shop at PersonMakeObject.

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

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

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

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.

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.
