smelter work is my real job, "we dig clean air". But like old chevys too. Got a 1969 pickup now in the works, 57' is a build from 10 years ago.
Let me sugar coat this

Only did one day of surface blast. That was a detonation in support of an open house event at an Air Force Base. I don't remember which one, because there were so many. It's basically an explosion from a simulated bomb dropped by an aircraft as it flew over. I always got a kick out of the reaction of the accompanying pilot we had with us on the ground to give us a heads-up on the approaching aircraft. During the pre-event briefing, I'd always tell them that we ought to put a 25 pound keg of nails on the C-4 to give the aircraft a real-life experience. Oddly, they never thought it was a good idea - lol.

Me thinks a more pleasant thread is on order. So gents, and especially tradesmen, show us your craftsmanship. Show us your good looking work, and what you do in your trade. Surely Im not the only one who appreciates mechanical beauty. I'll start. Traffic department vehicle finished up this morning (I promise all lights work, just can't get them all in one picture).... Detectives car built this week, along with it's wiring.... Water pump job on a Ford explorer 3.7l..... This is a very useful skill indeed. We have a guy and I'd pay whatever it would take to keep him. Guys like you can pretty well install and/or repair anything given the time and the tools.
