The Construction Thread

[trysail]

uh oh...someone mentioned getting electricity from a source other than unfiltered max pollution coal/oil......that sends trysail into fits. QUICK! Someone pour some used motor oil into a marine preserve or slash and burn some ancient forest before he comes totally unglued!

That's fucking bullshit and you know it.

[trysail]

No corruption in SF?

Ah. Now I see where you were going.

You're suggesting that they're lining their own pockets.

[BotanyBoy]

​

It is, but it made me laugh so I did it anyway.

​

In a way.

They line the pockets of their friends in the green energy world sector.

Who will in turn I'm sure support their re-elections.

Total rich/powerful people circle jerk sponsored by Taypayer lube.

meanwhile , back in the world of real construction, spent all day "sawz alling" galvanized grating so that 638 could land a big unit on the roof of a building. "sawz alling" grating sucks, but at least it was in the sun---I've been on graveyard shift in midtown Manhattan for weeks and I'm about to turn into a vampire.

In my latitude, sawzalling grating out of the sun is the cool gig.


I assume sparks weren't an option or it would be a cut-of wheel on a chainsaw body.

My company couldn't even come up with a functioning sawzall. it had one prong on the plug and we had to go begging to the GC's laborers. waterjet lol.

You people don't know how nice you have it. It's like a dungeon here in big building renovation ironworking.

I am guessing a 5 axis mill is out of the question.

I do it freeha ha ha ha ha ha hand.

 

[Sean]

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

 

[Saint Peter]

The bright side is when you crash a sawzall does not cost 17k for a new motor.

Turn is on???


wtf?

amazing little machines for the abuse they take. the tempering of the blades is a metallugical feat, and we just use em and throw them out.

There is a perfect mix of brand, speed and teeth. An amazing tool except for the vibration sent back into your hands and teeth.

 

[thør]

We've got a few of those metal cutting circular saws. You can even cut 3" XH pipe with 'em. They are a little nicer than a sawzall for some work.

 

[Saint Peter]

The brushes burn easily. You have to let the tool do the work. Force it and bad things happen.

 

[Saint Peter]

And I have one with a bad worm gear that will soon be sent out to pasture.

I hate to toss out a work horse.

 

[thør]

The Jancy steel saws are nice, but they ain't a Timex. We go through a few a year. It's hard to pitch 'em, but they cost too much to repair.

Oopsie

If ironworkers could operate measuring tapes and pencils you could cut it someplace where sparks are allowed

They cut it twice and it's still too short!

Are you fuckers building anything cool?
