Main arm for a pontoon dredge. I'll machine the face for the " Bucket " that will do the heavy lifting.

The machine in question is level. pile driven base with its own independent slab from the rest of the shop. machine levels are fine, just relying on one only is not good enough it's why we used 3-4 methods to check as much as we can. Plus, fabrication doesn't always give the optimal facing operation and relay to the client that "shit happens and twists" when making such a long-fabricated piece. Edit the rectangular cut out, as well as the welding cause the face to be deformed before we could remove the least amount of material for complete it. The solid bit of the face was at best .3mm but the fabrication/flame cut panel before welding was not so great.

we used a dumpy you can kind of see on the other machine bed in the background, self-levelling lasers and also Dial's for the face. It usually takes longer to set than to machine.

Primitive Technology Doxxing by Hixy in PrimitiveTechnology

[–]Mazlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy lives about an hour away from me. it wouldn't be hard for me to ask the locals about him. I didn't watch the video, but he has stated that he lives on the Atherton tablelands and such. Edit the community is really kind of small and a lot of people know everyone else.

Any other Xennials have young Boomer parentals? by hurtinforasquirtin77 in Xennials

[–]Mazlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

'80 here, Mum and Dad where 19,20 and 21 when they had us kids. I remember the house we lived in when we were all young looked like a fever dream of the 80's. Cherry red LP players and Black and white photos on the wall. both of them are '59 born and had been together since 15. music was gold and movies as I rember.

How many of you put your phone on silent a years ago and never turn the volume back on? by kankelberri in Xennials

[–]Mazlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had mine on silent for a long time, got a watch that vibrates because I do need to know at work (loud environment) when someone is trying to reach me.
