You know, there exists a rubber hammer that people use for all kinds of things.

Rubber, nylon, copper, leather, wood... All sorts of soft hammers.

Yeah, I feel like the cork hammer would be great tool to have for assembling large Lego builds. My human thumbs get sore after repeatedly pressing Lego studs, and I'm hoping that the cork would be soft enough to not damage the bricks.

Beat me to the punch!

There's even multiple kinds, anything from regular rubber-capped hammers, leather hammers for gunsmithing, and even dead blow hammers.

Is there a cork hammer? Rubber wouldn't fall apart like cork would.

I imagine cork wouldn't last as long as the alternatives.

We could get more and play table croquet.

At least the pot can still hold lamp oil.

I would bet the pot might be useful in specific situations, like if it's used mostly to be tipped over at its original location without having to be carried anywhere first

I would love it for boiling pasta and then draining the water.

Are your stove and sink right next to each other? If not, you may encounter some difficulties...

They're connected by a counter so it's an easy slide.

That chain-fork just needs a bit of finesse and you're good

I can already seen it, you chipping a tooth and splitting a lip because you figured it would look cool to nun-chuck the food into your mouth.

The pry action still works fine. The little weapon to eat food with might be fun but might be the most useless thing here. Pot is great for carrying water from the well on your back. I can think of a few uses for the last one.

... for the last one.

Carrying water from the well in that pot.

Faramir of Gondor just didn't get enough chances to show his qualities!

Boromir would be twice as useless!
