"If I had a hammer...." went the Pete Seeger and Lee Hays song. So this week I've made you a hammer, and rendered four views of it. I've put them on a transparent background so there's nothing to do in cutting them out.
What will you do with your hammer?

In addition to Dave’s model of the hammer, our sub-theme this week seems to be music and Pete Seeger, which cannot be complete without including the African-American spiritual John Henry. John Henry was a railroad worker who raced the steam drill with his hammer and won, but “died with a hammer in his hand”.

This folksong has been recorded by many, but I'll link to Pete:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Zt0O2lyhk
“The man that invented the stream drill thought he was mighty fine,
But John Henry made fifteen feet; the steam drill only made nine.
The steam drill only made nine.
John Henry hammered in the mountain; his hammer was striking fire.
But he worked so hard, he broke his poor heart.
He laid down his hammer and he died.”
He laid down his hammer and he died.”

I just figured out how to create Patterns with Libraries. I'm sure it's old hat to all of you, but new to me. So I played with it a little.

That feature in libraries is probably one of the most well hidden features in the app. So thanks for reminding us all that it's there Rista.

Hitting the nail on the head
Now, if the shank had a thread, and you hit hard enough, it might be a type of Flat-Head Screw. But that's pretty lame.

You got that one spot on Pete, and it looks as painful as Trevor's earlier GIF. 🙂
