@gortnipper - wow, a small Nuttall - Here in Aus, Hercus (SouthBend Clone) mostly did that size (schools way back in my day) & Nuttall's on the S/H market were real heavy duty stuff.
Yeah, I was bummed. It was free for removal 5 miles from me!@gortnipper - wow, a small Nuttall - Here in Aus, Hercus (SouthBend Clone) mostly did that size (schools way back in my day) & Nuttall's on the S/H market were real heavy duty stuff.
Not forgetting a bubble for the spirit level and a long weight/wait!Be prepared to be sent to the stores for the Skyhook and left handed screwdriver.
Big Chuck's take no prisoners!Lathes and mills - good stuff. But I gotta say it, I have worked in factories my whole life and seen a couple of pretty bad incidents (we dont call them accidents anymore.) Make sure you get your PPE in place and never risk cutting corners on wearing it even one time and get good training. But I am sure you know that. I say this with the best intentions.
You have to be careful with the level bubbleNot forgetting a bubble for the spirit level and a long weight/wait!
As a side note you can have great fun with an engineer's level if you have a mate that's a builder or chippyAnd remember to get a calibrated bubble, none of the uncalibrated rubbish
I can assure you he didn't hit him hard ,just enough to make him jumpI never got on with that lad's ball busting routine. Never saw the humour in it. I'm amazed somebody would hit a kid/apprentice. If that happened to me he would be down at the Labour Department answering hard questions, that if I didn't cold cock him next time his back was turned.
The other routine was the older hands refusing to help or teach the new fellows anything. It was considered to be hard won knowledge and job security. God bless the one's who remembered how hard it was to be young and were kind and willing to teach.
Think of the things you can teach yourself rather quickly just from this list or off you tube. It is amazing and a good thing.
Me too, I was surprised by Onders comment on that to be honest.Also nobody repeat nobody to my knowledge ever didn't help out an apprentice if he needed help
It can be a problem sometimes when the older blokes overload the lads with information tbhMe too, I was surprised by Onders comment on that to be honest.
In fact, in my experience its quite the opposite, the old boys are so keen to impart knowledge that the young uns get tired of it!
