Gods yes. Don't need to make a thing, it's fun just to put a chunk
of wood in, and turn it down.

Fun to play "how much can I peel." I got almost all the way to the center
once before the shaving finally broke.

But, if nothing else, always nice to turn
some mallets. Only had mine for about 8 years, I guess, $129 HF model,
works just fine.

Turned mallets are *awesome*. I had been using a rubber mallet for chisel
and other similar work. I had been meaning to buy a real mallet some day,
but never got around to it. Now I have two really nice ones, with just the
shape I wanted.

They sure are nice to use. I can also beat the living crap out of them,
since I can always make more.
