Steam sawmill demonstration:
Some of the footage is laden with lens lice. But there is enough visible to make an OSHA inspector drink heavily. You'll see plenty of things where a moment's inattention would give someone a really bad day.
The second to last verse of The Secrets of the Machines applies.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Much machinery of the era was "dangerous"....
ReplyDeleteI own many hit and miss engines that are just waiting to grab a sleeve in a gear and tear your arm off, or a digit or something like that. Mowers that will bite your ankle off...Steam engines with exposed belts waiting to drag you in (and around). (I actually had that happen on a 3 HP kerosene engine. Was lucky and only bruised.....I'm more careful these days...)
Dad had an old baler that was powered by a 2-cyl gas engine and which used an exposed flat bet to run it. I was paranoid about that thing.
ReplyDeleteNot uncommon to see guys in farm country missing an arm or leg when a PTO grabbed a sleeve or a pants leg.
Knew a guy who got partially dragged into a wood-chipper that way. He pulled himself out, but it was too late and he bled out, alone.
Ah, the good old days, without all those job-killing regulations...
ReplyDeleteWe had a neighbor when I was a kid that was missing his right hand. He was picking corn and decided he could clear the snap rollers with the tractor running. When I got old enough to start running equipment, Dad always told me to shut everything off or I could end up like "Lefty". I only needed that talk once.
