Some ideas to take up against The Hammer: - Car - Lawnmower - Old phonebook (or stack of phonebooks) - Large garden statue (concrete with a steel middle) - Bird bath - Swimming pool full of water - Giant styrofoam block - Fireworks (think you need a permit for that in Australia though) - Carton of eggs - Casket or burial vault - Giant bucket of bouncy balls - Stack of feather pillows - Office chair - China cabinet (full of cups and plates and whatnot) - Kitchen sink
I’ve been watching HR for 4/5 years now, I remember watching anvils being dropped from the tower… and now you guys just casually have a 7 meter tall, 3 tonne hammer. The levels of progression over the years are just insane and can’t wait to see what you have planned next for that beast!

If you heat the copper to glowing and quench it.... it will soften enough to flatten. Copper work hardens (hit it, it gets harder), the opposite of ferrous metals. Love your channel! Oh yeah almost forgot, ball bearings are usually made from 52100 and hardened. WAY harder than average building material.

I propose that instead of smashing stuff (as gratuitously fun to watch as it is), can I suggest using the impact of the hammer to act as the catalyst to a mechanism... like what you have done before at the 45m tower to launch stuff into the air. at this place you have fewer constraints, a LOT of force and plenty of room for something to fly in the air. so (think: mousetrap); using the hammer to hit against a pivot or a fulcrum (thick steel plate?) resting on a heavy solid steel cylinder and something to flip into the air when the hammer drops. the sky is the limit - literally.
