Go out and buy a dead blow hammer for 7 or 8 bucks? Hell no. Spend 10 bucks on a brass tee, another 6 on a piece of ash, and multiple hours in the shop to make one. 'cause that's just how we roll.

I have absolutely 0% trouble in believing that you built that thing.

And I'm wondering what material you hammered through the top of the shaft and then worked / smoothed out along the contour of the brass is.

Great; now you made me wanting to build one

Pin is simply mild steel. Peened, then smoothed on a Scotchbrite wheel. Faces are Delrin and polypropylene. All stuff I had in the shop, including the lead shot inside.

Are you familiar with a Youtuber by the name of Uri Tuchman? He builds... everything.

Hammers, chisels, astrolabes, Japanese pull-planers, belt buckles...

Here's his tutorial on how to make preserved lemons, from scratch. He didn't actually plant the lemon tree itself, but that's about the only shortcut taken.

If I spent a quarter of the time I do watching Youtube makers actually making things myself, I'd be famous.

Pask Makes is one of my current favorites.

What a great post. I did my first hit of acid listening to this. That was around 1973. I'm guessing most won't even know what this means, unless you're really old like me.

That's literally all there is to this post. No politics, no vaccine conspiracies, literally just a cat on an escalator.

Again, it's just a cat riding an escalator. Don't get your hopes up too much, despite the lead-in drama.


Fuck it. Look up "cat riding an escalator" on the web-search tool of your choice.
