In my never ending search for interesting bits of salvage (kind of my

concrete that were used as intertial dampers in that washing machine I
tore apart a couple weekends ago. I'm no stranger to using a 10lb sledge
(although not much in many years) nor a 3lb sledge. My hammer of choice
most days is a 2lb machinists hammer or a plastic dead blow hammer, but
I've been known to pick up the 3lb sledge to beat a part into submission.


I don't know why nobody thinks of explosives. No fuss, no muss...just a
job well done! Drill a hole in the block, pack with smokeless powder,
insert fuse, top with clay, light fuse and RUN!

SMOKELESS ??? !!! Nah, black powder is so much more fun, and much more
likely to give you that rapid expansion you so want even if you do a lousy
job of setting it up.
