Buff Skeleton posted:I get the sense a jigsaw is not meant to be used this way So, he basically made a scroll saw? Since the jigsaw blade is thicker it doesnt need to be kept under tension I guess, which means it's simpler than a scroll saw too. It lacks guards, but honestly this seems pretty safe as far as homemade powertools go---definitely safer than a circular saw -> table saw coversion EDIT: Apparently there is a commercial version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TThrIsIYObY Only difference is that that it has a moveable foot that goes on the top of the workpiece, which doubles as a guard and has a vacuum mount. I could see how this might be useful! Slanderer fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Jul 9, 2015 |

I worked as a "Loader" at a home improvement store for a year after high school. Basically I had to retrieve appliances, bags of concrete, lumber, boxes of tiles, and other heavy poo poo and load it into peoples cars. Usually their sedans. I should note that we had heavy trucks available for rental, and also delivery/install options for stuff like appliances, but a lot of those diehard DIYers didn't want to foot the bill. I've seen so many variations of this picture it's not even funny. My manager told me to keep to a strict "help them get it into their vehicle, but don't even try to secure it" policy so the store couldn't be held accountable when this poo poo went flying off on the highway.

As a teenager I was cutting a field with a bushhog that had no pto guard. I got off and started clearing brush without waiting for the shaft to stop spinning when a bolt on the shaft caught my pants. It sounds unbelievable, but in that split second I was able to hulk out from fear, brace off and grab the tractor, and hold my ground as the shaft ripped my pants off. That video reminded me about that. I've also seen a guy get his nuts ripped off after getting his leg in a shaft like that.

My uncle lost both legs to a feed grinder pto... caught his overalls and wrapped his legs around several times... basically turning his bones to mostly powder up to his mid-thigh. This past November my cousins husband was cleaning out the grain bin of a combine with a hose while inside the bin and the dump auger running. Dumb yes... have I done it many times? yes... water, and slick metal... he slips and loses a foot. Pulled it right off.

Farmers are loving hardcore. I currently sell ag equipment and I met a farmer at a trade show who had recently lost 3 fingers in some machine. Apparently it was a clean cut and they could have reattached them, but he decided to finish the harvest he was working on before heading to the ER

Farmers are the most help someone else people on the planet... that doubles when it's farmers helping farmers. Was this USA? My dad died ten years ago in May... after everything was in the ground. Come time to harvest, nearly every farmer in the county was there with combines, tractors, trucks, & wagons. There were more machines and people then we knew what to do with. At least 6 combines took off 150 acres of soybeans and corn in a couple of hours.

That's movie type stuff not real life. Now I don't know about big fresh fruit and vegetable farms... Maybe it was going to freeze that night nad it was going to be really bad so he knew he had to get what he could off. Maybe... maybe that could make some sense.

Also, for a lot of fruits and vegetables, there is a 2-3 days window where the product is just mature enough to harvest, without being so ripe that it can't make it to market, or the market rate goes down. If something happens to delay the timing on that, you're boned.

That's movie type stuff not real life. yeah sometimes you do have a 2 hr window to finish what you're doing before it gets dark and a storm rolls through and floods out your fields. and sometimes all it takes is one bad season for a family to lose their farm. it happens all the god drat time.

Got another story from General Ickes about osha.mil.gov! This was when the F-15 was just entering service with the US Air Force. quote:I was the commander of the flight unit and had just finished my initial F-15 training and was taking off to fly my first sortie from home base. My crew chief was a great guy I’d known for years. A few minutes into the flight a sheepish voice came on the radio and said, “Boss you need to return home.” So we dumped some fuel and returned. My crew chief was almost in tears as I came down the ladder and I asked him what had happened. The chief replied, “I realized after you left that I was missing a very important wrench.” I asked, “So what’d you do then?” He proceeded to tell me everything he had done and it was all by the book. I told him that it was all I needed to hear. The crew chief apologized profusely and I told him that he had done absolutely the right thing and then we figured out why it happened. He already knew and readily admitted it. Turns out the crew chief had put his wrench on a little shelf on the underside of the plane, and forgotten about it until he saw the F-15 take off.
