Project Inspired By:

A trick my dad showed me when I was a kid, using a thin piece of wood, and a newspaper to create the “seal”.

WARNING: Use of video content is at own risk. Karate chopping wood with bare hands can damage bones or cause bruising. If the plastic bag or plastic wrap does not make an air-tight seal with the surface of the counter, the stick may fly out in a random direction with dangerous velocity.

Project History & More Info:

Tip: Plastic wrap works great and is as easy as it looks. If you try this with a plastic bag, the bag has to be completely smooth and as wrinkle free as possible. If you’re having trouble, try wiping down the surface of the table with a damp cloth. The surface needs to be extremely clean, and the water residue will help form a better seal between the table and the bag.
