If I had a Hammer  by Grey Wonderer 246 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 1 on 9/6/2005
You have me giggling. With Pippin holding (and most likely alternately dropping it and letting go as he tries to pound) I suspect that Pippin and Sam would indeed do well to have a helmet on hand. It would be right useful!

Author Reply: Someone really should send for the saftey inspector for this job site. LOL Thanks for reading and I am very glad that you giggled.

This is wonderful! I loved the last line, in particular. I'm having a grand time reading this and am looking forward to the next episode. Thanks!

Author Reply: Thank you! Good to hear from you. I hope you will be writing something soon. I just love your stories. Glad you are enjoying this one. It was supposed to be a short little story but it has just gotten out of hand and now it looks like there will be plenty more to come. Thanks for the review!

Seems that poor Pip is just accident prone...*anybody* could nail themselves to a board... That darned Merry--but I still love him! Good old Sam. :-) Had a good laugh with Tunnely and the Gaffer!

Author Reply: More Gaffer in a few. I am having so much fun with him. He's a great character to write. I may have to put him in all of my stories if this keeps up. Funny Sam is hard for me to write but his father is so much fun! Glad this made you laugh!

Poor little Pippin! Yeah, that Merry indeed is being insufferable right now. He's needing a swift...well, we'll wait on that bit. I know Sam is coming to the rescue! Good old Sam. And you are writing him excellently!

Author Reply: Wow, thanks for the lovely words about Sam. You do know how I worry. In fact over on LJ I have Gamgeefest looking for non-Sam-like behavior because I am so paranoid about him. Glad you like this and thank you for reviewing over here. You are a darling.

LOL!! You cheeky lass! "Old" Hamfast is spinning in his hobbit grave right now.

Author Reply: I don't know 'bout you, but I hate trying to calculate the ages of everyone involved and so after I get the main characters out of the way, I just don't. LOL Hopefully, Hamfast won't read any of this. hehehehe

ROFLOL! "Sam was laying flat on the barn floor with his hands over his head. He peered up at Master Pippin and said, “I think so. I didn’t know I could move that fast.”
Poor Sam! Hope he survives working with Pippin! Will be waiting for more.


Author Reply: Thanks for reading and I am glad you got a laugh out of this chapter. More will be up by tonight and thank you for the review!

“Least you got other children, Gaffer. I only had that one work table.”
Classic line. Pure hardworking Hobbit. Keep it coming.

cheers,
merimas

Author Reply: Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement and the review. I was rather fond of that line myself. LOL More to come soon, I promise.

That is one big huff that Merry is in! And it's ALL HIS OWN FAULT. I suppose that, now Pippin is getting older, he's not quite as willing to worship his big cousin and is beginning to show signs of independence. But Merry likes to be needed.

Sam is a much better - and very brave - support at this time, though. Pippin may well come out of this having learnt a huge amount. And not just about carpentry. (Measure twice, cut once, Pippin.)

And poor Frodo. Having to deal with woodworking Pippin, sidetracked Sam and crotchety Merry. Demands beyond the call of duty for a bachelor cousin. Still at least he knows Pippin's trials from experience.

Tobias Tunnely is just plain chicken, though.

Author Reply: Thanks for the review. Merry does have issues at this point, but Pippin has a few of his own that will turn up directly. Sam is always a dear and in this case, he is the best hobbit for the job. As ro Frodo, his troubles are just beginning in this one. Once again, the responsibility falls on the oldest and we know who that is. Oh, and you haven't heard the last of Tobias Tunnely in this one either.
