The Mallet Challenge is Back!

You've got three weeks to create a Mallet and win one from the Master himself, @berchtolddesignbuild. He'll be selecting one winner to receive a custom made mallet.

Theme: Double Duty – Because why settle for one tool when you can have two?

DATES:   May 24 – June 15

Illustration of a mallet labeled as 'Mallet Challenge,' with features including a ruler, screwdriver bit, magnetic nail holder, fire starter, and bottle opener.

 Rules (yeah, we have a few):

  1. Build your mallet between May 24 – June 15

  2. Submit your completion form if you want to be judged (yes, we’re watching)

  3. Use #malletchallenge while you build

  4. Use #malletchallengefinal ONLY when you post that glorious final shot

One lucky (and wildly creative) maker will take home a custom mallet from the one and only Nicholas Berchtold of Berchtold Designs—aka the mallet king.

So go ahead, make something that hits hard and opens your drink after. Let the wild builds begin!
