The Boy’s “Hammer Bros” Hammer

Good evening. This will be a short one and a lot less soap boxy than the last one. By the by, the famous roadside company still has not paid me back for my battery though. So, back to business. My boy has added Mario brothers to his repertoire of games he likes to play. One of the characters in the game is the hammer brothers. They typically appear in pairs, but can be alone from time to time. We did a little research and it looked pretty simple. This is what we came up with. I had some scrap 4×4 from another project and a dowel pin that we cut to size. He got to learn how to size a hole to fit the dowel and how to cut an angle with a miter saw and some basic staining. It has been fun to watch him carry it around. Another thing that he and I have been working on is some gamer play through videos. We (mostly I) worked out the tech and he is working on the gaming and commentary. Once we get some stuff down, I will put something up for the world to see. Who knows how long that will be. But it will be his own brand of fun.
