I'm looking at this thinking there is a reason.

Tell me that they are using the purge pressure to turn that motor and generate electricity for that socket at the end.

Because everything else ends in Donetsk chemical plantesqe glory.

You're over thinking it, the reason is companies wonder "how do we label all this bullshit without paying anyone overtime" and the answer usually ends up being "we'll let the trainees do it, they are tracing the lines anyway."

Notice how the ladder holding up the pick is on the inside? That's fine, except there is no ladder to climb up to actually get on the pick. That means dude had to climb up the ladder with the pick on it, then when he got to the top he had to reach back and over his head to grab the pick and swing himself up on to it like a rock climber with no ropes, just hanging free 30 feet in the air trying to scrabble up before gravity notices that he is only being held up by the death grip one hand has on the pick.

I have done this and this poo poo is loving horrifying.

Yeah, isn't that kinda standard roofer stuff? Like, usually the top piece would be flat and on two ladders, but same basic concept.

Leperflesh

It's not making much sense to me either. The engine stands I've seen typically bolt to the front or back of the engine, they don't support it from underneath. The engine has engine mounts at various points which are used to attach it to the chassis of the car, and that's where it ought to be supported.

I don't even see the parts on the floor for that, there's just some random box steel pieces, a wooden... crossbrace?... and a puddle of whatever is coming out of the engine, presumably, although it should have been drained before removal so who the gently caress knows what it is.

e. For those of you unfamiliar with an engine: the top of the engine is at the bottom right of the photo.

I'm gonna guess they stacked up the box section on the front of that steel dolly so they could set the engine down level

A reverse image search brought up a Reddit thread from the mechanic where he says this:

quote:

I took the engine off the stand and propped it up on that makeshift rolling cart (which consisted of the base to an old engine hoist, an industrial electrical panel turned upside down, and 3 2x2 steel tubes to support under the front of the oil pan). I was putting the flywheel, clutch/pressure plate, and transmission on, and the engine stand doesn't allow for that. I was spinning the crank to get it to TDC and dumped it right off the cart. Rolled into the car and dented the rocker. Smashed the valve covers. Almost smashed my leg as well.

You can see, I think, pretty clearly where the guardrails can easily decouple to give access to the hose. It's not as 'are you loving serious' as it seems at a glance.

My molecule scrambler ray will disintegrate your armor with one blow!
Then you probably get a (granted, short) falling hazard when someone puts a non-parallel force on the handrail and it detaches on accident, and you get a fun surprise once a fire starts then you find out that maintenance was sick of reattaching the pole and decided to use some plumber's epoxy. At least you can set up a security camera to capture all of the grandmas faceplanting so you can post it on liveleak for some ad revenue to cover the lawsuits

I would put zero faith in that section actually being detachable. The seems are just simply because bending small sections was a lot easier than bending the whole rail.

I imagine he was trying to use it as a circular saw. I'm guessing he was climb-cutting with the blade facing himself.. I was careless with a tablesaw once and it is amazing how quickly it can throw a piece of wood through a wall. It's like a bullet. There's a hole in my garage that reminds me every day to pay attention. If it had hit me I'd be dead.
