People here are panicking by some grinding dust on their lathe and then you have this guy

Luckily he has a mask on....

Lots of those guys seem to be wearing those open toe safety sandals ,, they must sell well over there.

Sadly I cant post the videos here where it goes wrong. There is plenty of them.

Using the tailstock and a lump hammer as a press!
REALLY using a lump hammer to "true" the prop!

There's some pretty manky-looking chemicals in that second vid

No wonder we can’t compete,and using loads of our old machines and tooling,the only regulations they need to endure would be compulsory flip flops.

To be fair it's mostly about self-dependency, rather than competition - Pakistan isn't likely to be a major importer of UK goods and services anytime soon.

Has anyone seen the guy who does the Aluminium casting in has back yard in one of those places ?
He doesn't even wear the safety flip flops, does everything barefoot , especially the pouring of the molten Aluminium !
Although in some videos he has one foot heavily bandaged , and one barefoot ( I guess he must have a ' spill ' now and then }
Surely locally made boots cant cost that much

Dial test indicator to true up a drive shaft? Nah, a Pakistani dude with a big hammer. Bet he's not far off mind.

The that prop shaft will never get up to any decent speed on the roads out there anyway, just as well.....

 

[nickk]

Whenever I’ve altered prop shafts,I was told below 50 mph ,vibes aren’t a cause of problems,keep weld beads of a consistent shape and profile.

theres a video of the guy making flip flops from old car tyres ,,, they look like they would really hurt that wee bit between your big toe and any of the others you may have left after alloy casting or what ever else these guys are up to ...

Akmed, get the trestles, make sure you’re wearing heavy duty skull cap, safety first.

So many leaves it's probably not even worth having suspension. Better off with a walking beam suspension on rubber blocks.



Yeah i'd definitely want my head there..
