Re: Pre Osha I must not be seeing what you guys see. The car's front tires are supported on purpose-built stands with wide bases. I see no problem.

Re: Pre Osha The fender cover on the car behind looks like it works better than any of the ones that the vendors sell today.

The load "ripped" about an 8" branch out of the tree at the juncture to the trunk. It all came crashing down just outside of the swing of my truck tailgate, and fortunately didn't hit the truck. The lathe legs were 4" into the ground. Fortunately nothing broken... Even getting hit by a branch of that limb might be a problem. The nice thing about age, time and experience is you can afford yourself the proper tools. And have the means to afford it. Lets not talk about motivation...

Re: Pre Osha Just imagine the fines that would be assessed in today's world. OSHA would put you out of business in a heartbeat and confiscate your personal assets. My father in law was a plumbing contractor years ago. OSHA came on the job and fined him $1500.00 for having the grounding lug bent over on the pipe threading machine.

Check out these ladders.

Re: Pre Osha If that were a model A and you didn’t drain the oil first, you would have a mess. Unless of course is was a grain truck.

Re: Pre Osha The zeppelin ladders are on wheels. What could possibly go wrong?

Re: Pre Osha That Zeppelin photo looks scary. The three men on the ladders must be very brave...or hard up for cash. Although the men down below don't have it so good if someone drops a wrench, or decides to relieve himself. It reminds me of the photo of the men eating lunch sitting on an open "I" beam in NYC during the skyscraper age of the 30's. Hundreds of feet above the street, and the other buildings. No hard-hats, lanyards with harnesses, safety glasses, etc. OSHA-SMOSHA.

Re: Pre Osha There was no OSHA present back when I was installing paging antennae on the rooftops of Boston's prudential tower and Hancock tower on the out edges of those roofs. No harness. Often thought about how nice a parachute would be. I still have some outrageous photos of me up there.

Re: Pre Osha My dad started roofing,building,and remodeling in 1956,and did his last roof in 2020.Although,I have done every roof with him since the mid 90's.Neither one of us ever owned a harness.One time an OSHA guy stopped to talk to us,and once he found we were just a father and son fixing a roof,and didn't work for a roofing company,he said he had no say over us.

Well, how about this. Just be glad you did not work for Studebaker. No rear wheel chock, and a wooden lift. Just crazy.
