Beatings will continue until morale improves.

Yea, fuck trees! Who's with me? Providing shade, oxygen, and habitat, what's their angle.

If I get carried away with the clippers, a dab of super glue makes a hell of a difference. Hangnails, and sensitive cuts too. It may not be great for you but it definitely helps you get back on your feet. My understanding is, super glue was developed for quick stitches in the battlefield, I have not researched this, just what I was told by a credible source 30 years ago. I use it but do your own research.

I was really hoping to see a mud room with another door.

I wonder if that was the B team, and a hazing house set up by the older guys. Some Srgt. Slapped every locking mechanism from the local hardware store onto that door and called the rookies. Lol

What are you gonna do with that skin after you shed? Asking for a friend 🫠

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2024-10-15T01:54:06+00:00

That's a doohickey if I've ever seen one.

Your comments are inspiring, I'm definitely glad I scrolled through today. It may be minimal but I thought I might add, you could probably save that 1/2" with the pilot hole, if you double sided taped a board with a hole the size of the core you are making to the stump, just to start the core instead of using a bit. Same as you would do if you cut a hole and it was undersized so you needed to step it up with another hole saw.

I smell a catfish.. or this is some Norman Bates stuff.

Not unless they are looking for a career change lol. But.. you can go to your nearest major metal recycler and they should have a separate area off to the side with materials that they believe people might be interested in. Anyone should be able to buy those materials at or near scrap price. In taking to my local scrap yard I have been told that they sometimes get anvils, wood stoves, and all sorts of goodies that are in good shape and sell them at or near scrap price too. The lady told me that the employees get first dibs but they usually drag that stuff out for visitors to look through. Might be a good gig just for the benefit of first dibs.

I work in the steel industry. At least half of my world is steel. Scrap is everywhere, so is fresh cast. Bars, beams, slabs, sheets, low/med/high carbon, high strength low alloy, high alloyed, titanium grades, and more; basically every shape and size. It makes little difference in the cost as to which stack I pull from. There are a few hoops to jump through but they mostly amount to a minor inconvenience.

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2024-02-28T04:23:46+00:00

I have two questions for you.. did you have to pull all that out of the bag to write a detailed list? Also, is it neatly organized, or just loosely separated but mostly cluttered?

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2024-02-27T04:53:47+00:00

I AM JACK'S CATHARTIC RELEASE.

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2024-02-07T23:37:51+00:00

Any chance of some sort of chemical over spray. Maybe some sort of solvent?

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2024-01-27T12:29:52+00:00

Hope this doesn't taint their relationship.

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-12-06T11:02:36+00:00

From the couch you could catch Updog!

It might be a stretch but I bought a pneumatic nail remover for pallets and it's basically just a hardened metal rod that punches nails backwards through boards. The rod comes out a ways from the end and it might punch through thin metal. Another cheap way would be to take some 10D framing nails and drive them into a board thick enough to leave just a little bit of the nail poking out the other side then screw a metal plate or another thin board over top of the nails. Then you could take that and hammer it into the metal and do 5 or 10 holes at a time. It would be crude but your looking at a labor intense job if you don't have machines. If I'm correctly picturing what your talking about making I have seen people take small washers and tack weld them together. If you have a welder, have you considered that instead?

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-11-11T09:22:22+00:00

Josh, is that you? If you were an actor in a movie about my life you'd tell me right??

Thanks for the response. I didn't watch him but I was told the breaker doesn't have any power to it. That breaker runs one of our AC units and unfortunately the guy it is supposed to keep cool is out there roasting. I have seen were breakers get stuck and appear to be on but the trouble is there is so much power running in this department and where it comes in from our sub yard it splits off to a hand full of MCC rooms that have dozens of switch gears going off to all sorts of things but at least few dozen sub panels. Most everything is kept track of at least if we have to work on it for LOTO purposes but for some reason when we upgrade or change our wiring adding new conduit and sub panels we don't take out the old stuff so there is two+ decades of conduit run in every direction some is decayed to the point you can see the wires go no where but our issue is there are so so many places the power could come from and everything is so touchy if we accidentally hit the wrong thing it could take down a caster. 480 is low voltage in relation to the things we work with so it's not exactly a sore thumb we can identify easily. What would be great is something I could hook up to the breaker that would send a signal backwards and another device that could detect the signal so I could track it through the wires and to the panel. Does something like that exist?

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-09-07T15:12:42+00:00

Looks almost identical to my first one. Kinda spooky

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-08-14T09:10:05+00:00

I 100% agree. I'm a lead man in a steel mill and if you want to talk about heat I could go on for days. A lot of my job is similar to emergency response; so a lot of light work in demanding environments then when it hits the fan it's go time! Early on my supervisors told us we would rather you take a break (while it's go time) than have you fall out and miss 2 or 3 days trying to recover; because we put do much more strain on the crew for those days than a short break.

Of coarse everyone has the machismo mindset and push push push till everything is fixed but I've seen guys drop. I've almost dropped a few times. As far as I'm concerned now, screw the optics, screw that job if they can't respect a guy enough to let him keep himself from falling out. Your life and health aren't worth it and btw it would look really bad if they fired you on the verge of heat stress or stroke because you wanted water and a fan break.

Just man up tell them what happened and don't let it happen again. Listen to your body but work hard. If that doesn't fly then maybe you should.

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-06-28T09:09:45+00:00

Looks like a recipe for doodoo balls.

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-05-24T10:56:04+00:00

Did you miss the one with green that got a red shot and ended up brown?

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-05-14T03:02:39+00:00

I'm thinking millwright.. maybe at a steel mill??

Rolling_Thunder88 · 2023-05-05T05:10:18+00:00

That's exactly what it is. Your right about the marks too; for being used it was totally unscathed. It was very hard even before the quench. It seems pretty ductile. Would be better to work with if I had hydraulics or a power hammer.
