Dec 30th, 2016: Hammer Time
 

Museums... is there anything they don't collect?
Up in Haines Alaska stands The Hammer Museum, dedicated to preserving the history of humanity’s first tool.

If Alaska is a little out of your way, the museum posts images of some of their more than 2,000 hammers on their Instagram account.

".... I'd hammer in the morrrrrrning..."

Does that mean that you should be hard-headed to live in Alaska?:)

You nailed it, now beat it. :p:

Does the museum have Mjolnir?

Hammers accumulate. You feel wrong throwing out the old, and they just keep showing up.

Many years ago when I still lived in Washington state, I was on welfare and required to be evaluated by either an MD or a psychiatrist every 6 months (over the course of 3 years of this, nobody ever released me to be thrown into the job application mill that was considered an employment program). When I was between homes and thus between MDs, I would go see this one psychiatrist who was semi-retired and pretty much only did evaluations. He was 85 when I saw him, and we would get distracted talking about all kinds of things, like the time John Phillip Sousa played at his college's Homecoming Dance. His name was Dr. Hammer, and in a rare turn of humor, his business sign consisted of 2 claw hammers in an X formation (one had the handle cut in half). And while he wasn't exactly a Pink Floyd fan, he was familiar with the "marching hammers" animation from The Wall and thought it was 'quite well done'.

Just watched 'The Wall' the other night.

:devil:

Hammer time
 

The hammer on the far left is the only one I bought.

Three others were presents given to me brand new, and the rest just kind of accumulated.

My favourite hammer (here at Chateau Limey) is like the one that is fourth from the right, lower row ... so cute!


Sent by magic.

Cute maybe, but not very good at pulling nails. ;)

Looks like glatt's ready for some tabletop croquet.

That's when I use hammer No. 2 ! Or pliers.


Sent by magic.

I see six nail pullers, but none are #2. However, I have complete faith you'll defeat that nail so soundly, it will straighten itself out. :D

...and not a cross peen in the bunch.:headshake

Speaking of beating it, (see above), Hammers are forever, unless they are being tested on MythBusters. Ouchee.:thepain:

Not in glatts collection, but the Museum probably has one.

What? No banhammer?

Oh, it's there.






You just never see it coming.

I better watch my ass, then.

No one else is going to.

The ban hammer...

nice

Glatt be Knolling and he don't even Knoll it.

One of the projects I did in school (sculpture class, doncha know) was "Things to hit things with" I still have a bunch of the hammers and mallets I made. I should maybe find them and take pics

Shuh, ya think?!:eyebrow:

Srsly, I'd like to see 'em.:yesnod:

Tools are cool.
