nice

i did a rebuild on one of those IR DM3 drill rigs years ago that had a slight confusion over which way is up .........

"The handle on the LEFT is the one that lifts up the LEFT jacking leg okay" lol

its a very embaressing look when they are laying on their side have a little sleep
 
Funnily enough, the drill in that pict went up in flames yesterday arvo. My crew and I were sitting around the ute listening to the emergency calls on the site radio of the engine burning away lol
 
My favourite of the bigger gear is our SawStop table saw. Like a regular table saw but if you stick your finger into it it blows a block of ally into the blade preventing you from losing a finger or any other vital organs.

Other than that, anything from hand tools, radial arm saws, milling machine, 3D printer, laser cutter. The laser cutter is especially fun :p

i have an uncle who operates a sawmill

he has no buttons on his shirts

all press studs

coz you need fingers and matching thumbs to do up buttons ;)

he has 3.5 fingers and one thumb left :8
