Japanese Hammers – The Daruma – Make your own

In the video below I show how I made a medium sized Daruma Hammer for $5. The word Daruma comes from the Buddhist monk ‘Bodhidharma’. The Japanese Daruma doll is also thought to have derived from Bodhidharma’s chubby appearance.

Sizes range from extra small 220g (30mm dia x 50mm x 300mm) to medium 470g (38mm dia x 63mm x 330mm) all the way up to 650g (42mm dia x 70mm x 330mm)
