As Prof Young said, wear a protective glove on the hand holding the tool, and eye protection. I suggest ear protection, too. Even if you never set off a primer, repeated banging of the mallet produces effects on your hearing, too. Every little insult to your ears is cumulative even if the individual effects are microscopic.
A wooden mallet can be made from a length of 2x4, though a 4x4 might be better. Either take a 12" long piece and saw on it until there is a handle that fits your hand or take a 4" long piece of 4x4, drill a hole in the side and glue a handle into the hole.
Or, if you are really desperate, pad the face of a hammer with the rubber foot from a typical folding chair. Just don't expect it to last very long.
