@ronsterd89 Surveyor’s Plumb Bob. And it is a lighter example. I used a # weigh plumb Bob under a K & E Transit that screwed onto the top of its solid legged tripod.
@MbarkCherguia Used it. With different slicing discs. Created our own ground beef, ground pork. Washing it was a true pain, because final rinse was boiling water from the 2-gallon kettle on the coal+wood kitchen range.
@Darkdarling00 Nineteen of twenty. At age 87 I have even used a telephone that was a wooden rectangle box mounted on the wall, with a microphone in a tulip shaped arm and the speaker in a hand held holder on a seven foot long cord.
Excellent inlay work. Good looking carving design. The back angle and gentle curve looks to be comfortable. The even shine of the finish provides proof of expert sanding and polishing. I write as the grandson of a Millwright. Grandpa PJ worked using muscle powered chisels, wood planes, and saws. His standards were tight enough to challenge most power-tool equipped woodworkers today. Oh yes: A great looking bench. Three more, and he may build a large square picnic table, complete with a lazy Susan.
@Matt_Pinner All except #12. PLUS used a wall- mounted phone that had the microphone in a metal arm, and the speaker in its own holder, on the end of a 6 foot long cord. In our farmhouse kitchen. And I am now 87.
@FLCons Firefighting! A tractor pulling a wide disc cultivator is used to create a combined firebreak and even kill the leading edge of a grassfire, if the wind is not too strong. A very powerful tractor can do this at speeds higher than normally used for regular cultivating.
@AbiluTangwa But, what if you are wrong? My problem with “Climate Change +” is in the use of “fixed variables” where the calculations are beyond our current technology and beyond our current mathematical theory.
