Welding on a "tube" along the new Silk Road. I'm guessing that the "tube" is a casing for a cast-in-place concrete piling or pier. Check out the crane being used to set the rebar cage.

Sweet, always nice to see another useless dam and obstruction going. Must have been hell to build though in the first place.

It's prolly more boondoggle than necessity to remove. The dam upstream will not be coming out.

Every useless dam removed is a good thing. Gives local employment for a bit anyways. Dam above still generating something useful?

Drinking water.

My friend's crane will be busy.

Assuredly, the people running the project will fuck things up.

3.5 inches of wood + 0.5 inches of bow = 4 inches

Is there a problem here?

Don't set the tension too tight on the screw or it will be smaller than actual size due to compression

Use the ratchet for consistency.

Might as well be a hammer compared to a laser interferometer.

Smoke and mirrors correction voodoo!

Without reliable and accurate wavelength compensation, errors of 20 ppm - 30 ppm would be common in linear measurement readings when variations of temperature, humidity and pressure for nominal values are combined (even if the test conditions remain stable).

That's only if you use lesser quality southern lumbers.

 

[chillywilly2]

Out trade works to a 16th of an inch. in my hobby I use a knife to mark wood. Any closer and you may as well be building a rocket and I'm no rocket scientist

half an inch is plenty close enough for any penis measurement

Brother Rosco.

Hope you are safe and well.
