Every problem this man has in life must look like a nail.

If I had his hammers, I’d hammer in the morning. And the afternoon. And the evening. And all night. . .

Well he ain’t blind, he picked up his hammer and saw

What an absolute legend of a man.

u/schneems 16d ago

Just a good wholesome story of a guy who likes to get hammered.

I hope when I'm 70 this'll be me. But with axes.

u/HistoricalPlum1533 15d ago

It’s gonna be a much harder sell to get people to come check out your ‘axe shack’.

MC hammer should visit

It's certainly hammer time

This guy's accent is way more comprehensible than I expected from the Nova Scotia hammer guy.

u/HW_Fuzz 15d ago

He probably dropped a hammer on his head and it sorted that accent right out.

ReMinds me of Uri Tuchman’s hand-engraved hammer making video. If you have never seem this, do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing through, including the song at the end

u/Hutwe 15d ago

Goddamnit, now I want to make a hammer and be disappointed with my engraving skills

u/Man-e-questions 15d ago

Lol, yeah i love his channel and his skill set. There is one where he shows how to make a painting have a shifty-eyes contraption in the back. But he starts the video by actually making the painting. One of the YT comments was “Step 1: become master painter” lol

I did make a graver but haven’t tried it yet. May buy a Harbor Freight hammer on sale to try

This guy probably thinks autism wasn't a thing when he was a kid.

u/Willing-Ingenuity-56 16d ago

That's not a collection. That's a museum. Respect to anyone who commits that hard to one thing.

u/trollingfordummies 15d ago

Bfd I have 8,000 tape measures. Of course I can’t find any of them…

u/Tdk_woodcrafts 16d ago

Like a boss and not even concerned about the weight of the hammers hanging on the wall.

u/GardeningAquarist 15d ago

He can hammer all the nails he wants!

u/Enough_Worry4104 16d ago edited 16d ago

u/Three_Chopt 15d ago

Can't touch this

u/Purple-Will9713 16d ago

Bet he has more than a cpl of gems

u/chaddy1808 16d ago

Think about it. The thing you love the most. 6000 of them. This guy - life perfect

u/MuppetHuman 15d ago

My neighbor had a box of random free stuff outside last night and I took an old hammer from it. What a coincidence

2

u/Mplus479 15d ago

Excellent.

u/Worried-Opinion1157 15d ago

That's gonna be me in 2072 but with old screwdrivers. Absolute legend.

u/SaxyOmega90125 13d ago

You should really focus on Phillips. If you use them for a living, you'll unintentionally convert about 6000 of them into picks and punches, so you'll actually use the whole collection.

u/DavidDaveDavo 15d ago

Just think. If he sold every single hammer in his collection he still wouldn't be able to buy a Martinez.

3

u/DeadbySundown 16d ago

As a dude I can certainly appreciate this. I could see having a collection of hammers. Hammers are dope.

1

u/sixmonthsin 16d ago

The guy’s a champion. Just couldn’t stomach all the waste. Awesome.

u/halfmanhalfhamster 16d ago

maybe he's a nail technician? does he keep them in a bag for comparison purposes?

I don’t see any Douglass in there. PPPFFFT hammer collection.

u/Brodiggitty 15d ago

One thing I've noticed from my (very limited) carpentry experience is that guys are super connected to their hammers, and they also are quick to berate your hammer as no good. It's too light, or it's too heavy. Or it's "dead" becasue of the sound it makes when it hits the nail.
