The fine stress cracks might be crazing from the fumes from the cyanoacrylate adhesive he used to affix the half-blade to the glasses. In fact, with plastic safety glasses like that, that crazing is more believable than stress cracks. They don't propagate like that, that far, in plastic -- it's not that brittle.
I could be wrong though. But like Anonymous above, I'm going to call a tentative bullshit on this pic.
#3 Pays to wear your ANSI approved safety glasses. I was working in a plant in Massachusetts back in 1981, and one of the machinists was taking a big bite out of a stainless steel round on a lathe, when the tool broke. The broken tool hit him squarely in the safety glasses and completely shattered the lens, but did not go through. He was checked out at the hospital and then released. He had a nice shiner as if he were punched hard in the eye, but no loss of vision, broken orbit, or other permanent injury. After that, the guys in the machine shop wore ANSI approved full face shields.
#9 looks good! Grilled beef or lamb on a hollowed out rye bread.
I think I'm going to buy a full face shield before I use a grinder again, preferably before I use a string trimmer too. ATM, I use only protective glasses.
Starker here, #1 looks like a gallon of chocolate, pudding?, maybe. But there are about 100 rubber-bands around it before he opens it. #4 Darwin award contestant. Why walk so close to a dump truck? I didn't see a cell in his hands. #6 If you don't know how to drive a forklift, then don't start with glass panes! #7 I bet he's been wanting to stick it up there for some time. #9 That's the 2nd biggest Witchetty grub I've ever seen! #10 Nice side dump tool, but i think it will cost him the truck in the future.
#5 Pedestrian is a dimwit. Who else wouldn't give wide berth to that machine in motion?
#6 I was going to say anyone with but a few hours on a forklift would inherently know better. But obviously that's not the case. I would expect to punch out the guy who selected that guy to drive the forklift. A bunch of idiots.
#5: I was a regional truck driver making 2 runs a week to NYC in a 35' flatbed delivering lumber, sheet goods, and milled wood products. A lot of these deliveries were hand-off unloaded at curbside. Zombies trudging off to work down the sidewalk with their faces buried in their phones would walk right next to the truck while I was handing down heavy 4' x 8' sheets or 16' 2x12 boards totally oblivious to the danger they were putting themselves in.
#3 - looks fake, like he glued it on the surface of his safety glasses.
ReplyDeleteNow explain the fine stress cracks all through those glasses, even the undamaged lens. See how foggy they look?
DeleteThat's why you wear safety glasses!

About 10 years ago there was an artist that carved statues of dolphins, etc out of coquina rock here in Melbourne fl. The disc shattered...RIP.

#1 Any idea of what the substance is?
Chocolate pudding.....

Delete- arc
#1: hope that was chocolate. #6: firing offense. #9: WTF is that, some kind of meat roll?
ReplyDeleteI believe that #1 is called a Portuguese Snowblower.
Delete#1. Took the guard off the grinder. also, I always wear a full face shield

#10 Nice side dump tool, but i think it will cost him the truck in the future.
#7 Too bad they didn't really crash and die. A33holes that do this on city streets deserve to be shot.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find #9?
ReplyDeleteI had to scroll back up, I thought #9 was the girl hiding from the Corgi’s.
Delete#5: I remember being young, and having so little awareness of my surroundings.
ReplyDelete#6: I don't know forklifts, but that seems like a costly and easily avoidable mistake.
#7: Just please try not to take anyone else with you when you crash and die you entitled twat.
#3. I hate those things but have to resort to them occasionally. full face shield is a better choice and look away as best you can..
ReplyDelete#3 - if you buy your grinder disks at Harbor Freight, you better buy your eye pro from a reliable source....
ReplyDeleteGood to know. Thanks!

#6- In the US most companies require forklift training and a certificate. Reduces GL $$$.
ReplyDelete#10. Another example of the Sons of Ham finding a solution with limited means.
ReplyDeleteDoes #9 deliver, that looks tasty, needs bacon though.
