Rhythmic pile-driving!
I had to smile at this video clip of human pile-drivers at work in Thailand.
Shows what a little ingenuity, and some synchronization, can accomplish!
I had composed my comment in my mind about "Yeah, syncing up hammerblows in blacksmithing is like that." Then I watched the video. No, no, we didn't do it that way at all. Funny!

I do love all of the clever ways in which folks get the job done faced with a lack of what many would consider required tools.
It's amazing the solutions people can find.
