    Assembled Hammer

    Pair a body with two faces of different materials to create the perfect striking tool. Use mallets to drive chisels and strike work without damaging its surface. To avoid marring, use a face material that's softer than your workpiece. Lighter weight mallets are good for tapping work into place and driving a chisel to make small cuts. Use heavier weight mallets when assembling joints, dislodging stuck parts, and making aggressive cuts with a chisel. Longer mallets allow for more powerful swings.
