Never touch a Bridgeport until you've had at least four beers, it's in the service manual.

I worked for years in a theatrical carp shop and we had a list of rules about booze/weed and power tools. Totally sober: Lathe 1 Beer w/ food and/or like a hit from a bat: Table Saw and Band Saw 1 beer + 1shot w/ food and/or a shared bowl: Chop and Radial Arm saw 1 beer + 2 shots w/o food and/or half a joint: All powered hand tools Still drunk from the night before and/or tripping: Welding. You are never too lit to weld. It worked pretty well and in 4-5 years we only had two serious accidents and both of them were sober people using the table saw. Both times I was taking a dump and came back to an empty shop and blood on the saw. Most of our scenery was welded mild steel box tube and we used to do this thing where if we were behind and someone had to come in on the weekend that the other people would cut and jig whatever welding project needed doing. Then the weekend guy could come in, get stoned as gently caress, turn the lights out, blast our awsome stereo, and fuckin weld. Stoned welding is amazing, you feel like Hephaestus and poo poo. I very much recommend everyone try it once.

Pick posted:lathes are scary I had a very minor incident where my hand got sucked into a running drill. I walked away with just some missing dime sized patches of skin but my coworkers sent me horrific degloving pictures for like 3 months. This is it after like 3-4 days. I did end up waving my right to workers comp in exchange for "35 Long Island Ice Teas" , which I feel was a good deal.

I used to have this permadrunk next door neighbour. He was nice enough, if never sober ever. One day I was out in my yard and talking about pruning my fruit trees, saying we'd probably have to get someone in because we don't have a ladder or a chainsaw, and he goes "Hang on a sec!", goes into the basement and gets his chainsaw. I'm like "Nah Lyle, we still don't have a ladder and you've had a couple of sodypops (he called booze sodypop) and he's like "Don't worry, I've done this a hundred times!" First of all he saws a gap in the fence between our two yards, up near our porches. The fence gap is still there. Then he shimmies up the pear tree and cuts the central leader, taking out about 30% of the total tree. He cut it up into smaller bits and stuck the wood in his fish smoker. The tree is actually in better shape now, but didn't fruit that year. He moved (was evicted) after the next summer, but not before he quit paying his power bill and lived without electricity for the whole summer. The neighbourhood is a bit less lively now.

A bit of a tangent here, but worth it. I attended a TFR meet and was shocked to see most of them doing shots which was then followed by a drunk goon disassembling his Glock 22 and  ND. Others were having quickdraw contests and twirling handguns like Robocop. Also there was one guy who was shooting watermelons while making racial epithets.

I like working on the lathe  you just sort of clear your mind and focus on the machine and the part. I finally have access to a lathe for personal use and I want to make pens and pencils for my nieces/nephews for Christmas. I think I'll have them write their names down and inscribe that onto the surface, but I've never done inscriptions on round material, so I'll just cheat and mill in a flat portion for the inscriptions.Does anyone have a metal lathe they feel like selling for pretty cheap?

You've never really lived if you haven't woken up in the emergency room after you've been subdued and they forcibly had to take your blood to find out if you were drunk, when your BAC reads .39 and all you know of the event is what you can read in the medical records. It's not an easy life, but millions are living it every day.

Totally TWISTED posted:I should be finding job opportunities in BFC but welp here we are It was really amazing time and I wish I had appreciated it more back then. My 20's in general were pretty magical and I am amazed I still have all my fingers. We had indoor fire work shows, elaborate rules for staple gun fights, interns to abuse, and a very permissive and sweet hearted boss, who knew we were the best she could get for the money.
