#1 I've seen that before and the skill impresses me, but I don't think I'd be willing to try it myself. #2 Looks like some made in China garbage with a fake weld. Am I missing something? #3 He's lucky that he didn't give himself a lobotomy. #6 What a raycist kitty cat /s #7 I need hip and knee replacement just from watching that guy.
The inertial chain brake on the saw saved his face. Where he was cutting on the tip of the bar was the one place you shouldn't cut with. The lower side of the tip is fine to cut with. The upper side, bad juju. Upstate Redneck
#3: 20 years old working in a sawmill and did exactly the same thing! Luckily I was wearing a hard hat and the chain break stopped it but it still split the hard hat in 2 and left me with 54 stitches on my forehead. Joined the military after that cause I needed a safer job. LOL
They're called killer cleats. Needs a 16' to 20' 2x4 nailed to each of the center diagonal webs. His home made trusses leave something to be desired. Plywood connector plates need to be much larger with more nails. (34 years as a truss designer and trouble shooter)
Starker here, EV - You're right those joint plates at small. He did use a double bottom chord. I'd like to see how he filled the space between the plates & webs. A lifetime ago I worked at the Triangle Truss plant in Quakertown. Learned to stack , drive fork lifts, run the gang saw, & of course set plates before they were rolled. Great memories.
2 - I had a former fab shop try to slip that by me on some mezzanines and equipment platforms. Amazing how what seems to be an innovative way to beat a welding spec quickly turns into a business failure as word spreads. Mark in PA
3. Had a patient do that like 30 years ago. Cut the bottom half of his face in half, walked into the ER under his own steam. As wounds go, it was really lucky. It didn't bleed much, as not many vessels cross the midline, easier to fix. The problem was when somebody let him go to the bathroom. Saw his face in the mirror, passed out and got himself wedged under the sink.

#3. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

No. 3 has a "pro" chain, not a hoemoaner "safety" chain with extra, clearance rakers that stick too far, only, on the bar tip.

He also needed a 16" block of 2x4 nailed on the top of his gig pole

ReplyDelete8 looks like a homicide.

ReplyDelete#2- lack of HAZ discoloration seems like it would be a dead giveaway. Also, caulk is soft....
