The Wallace hammering for 1 hour video has quickly made it's way through to more or less every person I know. It has come on during meals with friends, playing at work, as an alarm to get ready for bed, as an alarm to wake up to get out of bed and every moment in between. I visit a good buddy of mine every weekend for the whole evening. For the past few weeks, we have watched this entire video from start to finish, discussing theories about what Wallace could possibly be working on for such a long time. The video has raised a number of important questions for us, which I thought I would share as I am keen to hear others' thoughts on our hypotheses. A few things we have picked up on:

Wallace is jacked. Wallace's arms are almost the same thickness as his body. If he were to remove his overall, he would undoubtedly be ripped to shreds. It goes without saying that the physical requirements to swing a hammer at that velocity, for such a prolonged period of time would be unachievable for any other man alive today. A further testament to his strength is that Wallace does not waver. He does not falter, slow down, or lose any kind of momentum. He does not even blink.

Diving into this a little deeper, it is well known that Wallace is pretty capable of creating some pretty heavy duty inventions. The Techno trousers, the Knit-o-matic in a close shave (huge industrial sheep shaver) the Mind manipulation-o-matic in Curse of the were rabbit, let alone a bleeding rocket.
Do we see a single piece of heavy machinery in any of the films? A single forklift? Cherry picker, anything? Of course not, Wallace builds all of these contraptions by hand, manovering the incredibly heavy pieces of sheet metal with his arms.

Secondly, perhaps the most pressing question on everyone's lips - what on earth is Wallace hammering? Each time I come back to this video, he is still going. He has been hammering at such a breakneck speed for countless hours. Our latest running theory (we have a few), Gromit is just out of shot working at an equally fast pace, ensuring that materials are being fed under Wallace's hammer at the most efficient rate possible. Whatever he is building, it is on a scale we have never seen before. You might be saying, ' Chris, don't you know he is just building the rocket?' NO! We can see in the film that in order to build the rocket, he is required to hammer at this speed for a mere few seconds. Those few seconds of hammering were all it took to create a literal rocket that took him and his dog to the moon. And back again. I say again, this project is on a scale we are completely unfamiliar with. Of course we don't have the answer yet, because if you go back to the video, you can see that he is still working on it - unless someone has an update on this?

What could it be? A single nail? An arc? Is Wallace aware of a doomsday event that he is preparing for? Is Wallace creating a doomsday event? Only time will tell.
Personally, I believe that Wallace is trying to patch up a black hole. It would be a suitable task for someone as powerful as Wallace, which would take a significant amount of dedication. If this video has taught me one thing, it is that Wallace is a dedicated individual. He hasn't blinked once for god sake. He isn't afraid of debris, or a rogue hammer claw. He has mastered his craft.

Whatever Wallace is working on, we can only hope that it is for the benefit of mankind. If a man equipped with this willpower, strength and knowledge is working against us, I'm afraid we wouldn't stand a chance.
