This is fun steam driven accessory to use, a bit hard on the ears though!

I don't know why, but for some reason, seeing that little hammer going to town reminds me of the Energizer Battery Bunny. :D

Well Jim...consider this...

Do you have or know others with some musical inclination? You might have just invented the 1st ever, steam powered, metronome to maintain a beat and keep time. Adjusting the steam flow would most likely vary the hammer-ing rate! If not, just hum a few bars and we'll fake it! :oops:

Thanx for the vid.
