    I mow my lawn on Friday mornings and I always listen to the Making It Podcast. This week was different though, I had to stop mowing my lawn about 5 minutes in to it and just take a seat and listen to you talk about Aaron. To say it was heartfelt and touching is an understatement; the love you have for him was felt with every word. When someone passes you can't help but think about your own mortality and think back on what you have done with your own life. It feels selfish but what you said about Aaron and the things he left unfinished gave me a lot to think about. Thank you for being so open and sharing your feelings it speaks volumes of your character.

    I found that if you look at the spot where the nail is going and not focus on the head off the nail, you'll never miss . Remember that and try it.
    For the guy who has everything....an Estwing hammer for big, medium and small jobs... The long handle would be an excellent hammer for demolition, removing old wood flooring , siding and shingles, lots of leverage, I can see this being handy for certain jobs.

    In the 70s i watched two carpenters have a nail off.
    2x4 wall laying on sub floor carpenter 1 20oz framer, carpenter 2 32oz framer. Ready set go! part way through carpenter 2 lost control of his hammer. It hit square on his shin missed 2 days of work.
    But when he got back the pizza he bought was good.

      Same with my Dad well into his early 70s. Tap, twwBANG! Tap, twwBANG! I caught up to him in my 20s. Now I am 60, no way. Out of practice. It's mostly practice and technique.

    This hammer is like lightning, it doesn't hit the same place twice😁, but with a little practice it gets easier👍

    I dislike all steel hammers, so I quite enjoyed seeing a couple of Estwings cut up, however since I am a lover of hammers ( I think the hickory handle Vaughan 9 , 99, and 999 are perfect) I can't hate too much and was still happy to see them welded back together .
