In the case of hammer work this means that a man with a long, heavy arm and hammer combination will naturally swing a hammer cyclically slower than a man with a shorter lighter arm/hammer combination. Like the pendulum in a grandfather clock, within a certain range of energy input, the longer and heavier an object is, the longer it’s natural frequency is likely to be. This reliable characteristic is why both mechanical clocks and a quartz crystal timepieces can keep accurate time. If you studied pendulums and harmonic motion in physics classes you understand that every moving object, from watch balances, to buildings, to mountain ranges (yes, mountains wiggle) have a natural “frequency” that defines the vibration of that object when subjected to specific forces.

If these factors matter not to you, then I will include some colorful bubblewrap in your next order for entertainment purposes. Are time, energy, precision, and speed important to you? I propose that “Sure and steady wins the race,” sooner and more efficiently than a 2lb steel woodpecker on meth. Much hammer and chisel work is very repetitive with motions repeated thousands of times in a single day, each motion consuming time and energy, hopefully with precision and speed. A closeup of hand-carved legs similar to those in the photos above. The legs are detachable with short square tenons fitting into mortises. I hope you will find this little article amusing. Perhaps you never have thought about using a chisel to make beautiful sounds, but many of our Beloved Customers that make musical instruments professionally are focused like a laser on this very objective. The photos above and below are of gameboards, and while gameboards are not really the subject of this post, these photos illustrate an aspect of precise work with chisel and hammer intended not to create a shape to please the eye, but an artistic sound to improve concentration.

This time your humble servant will delve a little deeper into how to use hammers and chisels as a dance team. We even examined ways to use our chisels and hammers more effectively when cutting mortises, and how to avoid the dreaded chisel wiggle.

In previous posts in this series about the characteristics of the hammers Beloved Customer should use with C&S Tools chisels, we looked at factors such as the type of hammer to use, the sort of face a hammer should have and how much it should weigh. This life’s hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid. This is the old style goban and a little smaller than modern models. 10.A masterpiece goban made in 1910 from a single block of wood. Josh Groban’s discographic portfolio boasts a total of nine studio albums, four live albums, two compilation albums, and 33 singles that he has so far released.

Before even becoming old enough to hold a driver’s license, Groban was already making television appearances and performing music at a professional level. Born as Joshua Winslow Groban on February 27, 1981, he grew up in Los Angeles, California, within a Christian household.

When singer-songwriter Josh Groban first came out onto the music scene as a simple teenager in 1997, listeners from all over the world were blown away by the young man’s vocal talent.
