hemale in pain posted:Some of those machines look harder than just using a axe to be honest With that stuff, definitely. I'm in the process of splitting up the remains of a 125yo Sugar Maple, and it's no cake walk. 25 ton hydraulic splitter has stalled on some of the seriously knotty parts. The "unsplittables" are then cut into roughly woodstove size chunks with a chainsaw. Also, the poo poo you find in the wood. Maple sap taps, concrete, screw eyes, barbed wire, a chain can be destroyed in mere seconds. Yes, I'm wearing my PPE.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:It's always perfectly straight-grained wood that's featured with these contraptions. Let's see how well it does with a knotty old piece of Maple, or Oak. That's where slow, but immense hydraulic pressure is your main weapon. Like, given how hilariously huge and complex these things are, how hard would it be to just recreate an industrial firewood making machine?

That's what I don't understand. Besides a surface level avoidance of hydraulics as something you don't understand, how do you end up building a 6ft diameter spinning wood chopper instead. No part of this seems easier or ideal or something a person should want. It doesn't even look cheap even if you have scrap metal access and a backyard welder. There's multiple of these machines with different people running them, how does this become a thing you don't just mock agggggggggh.

iroc.dis posted:Ah, nah I hadn't heard of them before. I'm jealous of your ability to see what the end of a big project is like. VCS shut down on me and I could only stand being at Vogtle for a year before getting the hell away from power plant construction. The company I'm with now does some multi family and commercial base building, a ton of data center base building, and a fair bit of government work, but our real bread and butter is interior up-fits/renovations. Basically I went from a single 8,000 person heavy industrial project to a bunch of interior renovations that average 20 people and only last 3 months. Its nice to have a life again. There’s a lot of doing more with less right now, and so much complacency. I’ve had to deal with 3 near misses and 2 first aids in the last 24 hours, which is more than the total for 1/1-1/29. People get careless about LO/TO on minor stuff, or spotting when they move their cranes, and all sorts of dumb poo poo like that. I’m looking forwards to this job being done and moving on to something smaller scale for a while. I’m even just working 8’s instead of 10’s because they’re trying to keep hours down but when I get home at the end of the day I am BEAT.

That thread is probably bullshit but if it isn't: more like a tedious thread about the bookstore's intransigent management who think it's hilarious that they've never had the premises inspected to make sure it isn't a deathtrap for their staff. "Teehee the place is a giant fire hazard with no escape" get hosed mate.

big dyke energy posted:Also the "haha I wonder if all those employees who got injured will sue us now!" feels incredibly hosed up!! Yeah I was amused when I thought it was a bystander but it was an employee, which drastically changes the tone. This attitude should be a huge red flag to the readers of this thread. Also my wife and I went to a bookstore in the Pacific Northwest somewhere. I think in Seattle, but maybe Vancouver BC. Books just stacked EVERYWHERE and anywhere, with narrow aisles and lots of dead ends. It was like two stories like that. I was genuinely anxious the whole time because I felt so claustrophobic and I usually don't feel that way. My wife was just in love with the smell and I can't blame her there.

Wasabi the J posted:Yeah I was amused when I thought it was a bystander but it was an employee, which drastically changes the tone. you are almost certainly referring to MacLeod's Books in Vancouver. The fire marshal threatened to shut them down a couple of years ago so they aren't as bad as they were. it's certainly charming, but it's also a death trap. the basement is the worst: a labyrinth of shelves, only one staircase, which is narrow even before being covered in books, on the opposite side of the store from the only door. Don't think I've been down there since they cleaned up due to the aforementioned threat from the fire marshal.

The only reason he was out of that basket was a manager on the ground telling him to do so because it would have been faster. The crane operator was working blind. Oh, and the press had a camera on the helmet of presumably the guy who died. Not when he fell, just a few hours/minutes earlier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5c04Z5YnwQ
