The Hammer King!

POST 072
Tuesday, February 16, 2010

We interrupt my onslaught of free books about medieval fools and jesters to bring you this important 50-second message from Germany’s top handyman; at least I think it’s from Germany. He’s definitely handy. I mean, sheesh, I can juggle and I can fix things, but I never thought about combining them!

I teach visual effects, I know anything — and I do mean anything — can be faked in the digital realm, but I’m taking this as legit. I am guessing, however, that the nail was sticking into a pre-drilled hole just a bit smaller in diameter than the nail itself, thus requiring less force from the free-flying hammer to drive it in.

Thanks to Pat Judd for sending this my way!
