Building inspiration can come from a million places. And in the case of today’s creation it came from the violent wielding of a tenderising hammer by its maker.

The ‘Blacktron Tenderiser’ is the work Flickr’s Rubblemaker who was inspired by his own use of the bludgeoning instrument. We want to question how a tenderising hammer works in the vacuum of space, and why you’d want to use one in the first place, but considering the builder’s proficiency with said tool we’re happy to remain ignorant and uninjured.
