      AceInHD I work a course, it's nice somedays but when you have headphones on for 8+ hours a day. You tend to exhaust your listening material very quickly. Although picking the range is a lot nicer than some of the jobs I have to do at work.

    I built a water powered hammer called a
    “Monjolo”. I started by making a water spout from half a hollow log to
    direct water from the creek. This was set up in the creek and water
    flowed through it. The hammer was made from a fallen tree. I cut it to
    size by burning it at the points I wanted it cut (to save effort
    chopping). Next I carved a trough in one end to catch falling water.
    This was done first with a stone chisel that was then hafted to an
    L-shaped handle and used as an adze. This adze only took about an hour
    to make as I already had the chisel head and cordage made of bark fibre
    to bind it with.
    To save further effort carving I used hot coals from the fire to char
    the wood in the trough. I put the coals in using “chopsticks” (unused
    arrow shafts) to transfer them from the pit. The coals were fanned or
    blown with a wooden blowpipe till the wood in the trough burned. Then
    the char was scraped out. The sides of the trough were sealed with clay
    to make sure the wooden sides did not burn away which would effectively
    decrease the volume of the trough. This was approximately 8 hours work
    over two days.
    With the trough carved I made a hole in the middle of the log as a
    pivot point. Using the same char and scrape method I burnt a hole right
    through the log using hot coals and a blow pipe. Again clay was used to
    prevent wood burning where it was wanted. To burn through the
    approximately 25 cm diameter log it took about 4 hours and 30 minutes.
    Another hole was burnt in the end to fit the wooden hammer head and it
    took a similar amount of time.
    A tripod lashed with loya cane was set up at the water spout. The
    axel of the hammer was tied to one leg, the hammer fitted onto the axel
    and the other end of the axel tied to another leg. The trough was
    positioned under the waterspout to collect water and the tripod adjusted
    so that the resting point of the hammer was horizontal (so water
    wouldn’t prematurely spill out of the trough).
    The trough filled with water, outweighed the hammer head and tilted
    the hammer up into the air. The water then emptied out of the trough
    (now slanting downwards) and the hammer then slammed down onto an anvil
    stone returning to its original position. The cycle then repeated at the
    approximate rate of one strike every 10 seconds. The hammer crushes
    small soft types of stone like sandstone or ochre. I carved a bowl into
    the anvil stone so that it would collect the powder. I then crushed old
    pottery (useful as grog for new pots) and charcoal. Practically
    speaking, this hammer worked ok as a proof of concept but I might adjust
    it or make a new one with a larger trough and bigger hammer for heavy
    duty work.
    This is the first machine I’ve built using primitive technology that
    produces work without human effort. Falling water replaces human
    calories to perform a repetitive task. A permanent set up usually has a
    shed protecting the hammer and materials from the weather while the
    trough end sits outside under the spout. This type of hammer is used to
    pulverise grain into flour and I thought I might use one to mill dry
    cassava chips into flour when the garden matures. This device has also
    been used to crush clay for porcelain production. A stone head might
    make it useful as a stamp mill for crushing ores to powder. It might
    pulp fibres for paper even.

    I used to do this! Super fun job. A couple different things though from the range I worked at. We had an actual golf cart attached to the picker, not just a tractor/mower type thing. And we were allowed to drive it when it was wet outside - just not up and down any hills.
