Hammering Man - University of Florida


This large statue is near the Art Museum at the University of Florida and is a "hammering man," the hammering action being driven hydraulically.

    I rather like it. I wonder what it would be like coming across it on a dark and stormy night.

    Very dramatic looking, you have set him off perfectly against that big blue sky!

    Henry Clay! I'd like to see a photo of this with a person beside it, for scale. An idea for another day!

    Pretty cool. I like it too. Is it metal? Stone? Maybe I should just get hammered.

    There is a big giant Hammering Man in downtown Seattle---I have only seen pictures of him but he's there. He is 48ft tall and weighs in at 26,0000lbs. He is a heavyweight.

    If a very tall person stood under him would they be hydraulically hammered on the head? Pretty neat sculpture!

    Lord, Lord, it must be Henry, the steel-drivin' man!!

    When John Henry was a little tiny baby
    Sitting on his mama's knee,
    He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
    Saying, "Hammer's going to be the death of me, Lord, Lord,
    Hammer's going to be the death of me."

    I've seen the one in Seattle, too. Quite an impressive piece, as I'm sure this one is, too.
