RIP Old Man Hammer
My grandfather's hammer finally bit the dust. I was trying to pull a nail out of a 2x4 and the handle just split right off. That hammer had character you can't buy anywhere. I'm gonna miss it. It's at least 60 years old. My dad told me that hammer chipped the one claw when a neighbor borrowed it while they were demolishing a fireplace.
It was pretty handy too. I could buy a new handle for it and fix it but it just wouldn't be the same.
I think I'll have to bury it in one of my walls. Like when they buried the bodies of the workers who died while building The Great Wall of China in the wall itself.
