Episode notes

Step into the kinetic arc of the utility cupboard as we break down the physics, the balance, and the undeniable satisfaction of the 16-ounce claw. From the polite "thud" of the rubber mallet to the surgical precision of the tack hammer, we’re exploring why hitting things correctly is a delicate dance of leverage.

​Our favorite Youtube transatlantic tinkerer, MericanMaker, returns to the workshop to share his personal, heavy-duty perspective on everything from the "heavy ghost" of dead blow hammers to the bone-rattling reality of all-metal handles.
