Well I might get some strange looks from everyone if I went round the press shop taking photos, but there are 210 ton presses in there dating back to 1956 that are 2 storeys high with a 2M diameter flywheel constantly spinning at a few hundred rpm, along with the newer 300 ton machines that are even bigger! Big enough they have their own ladder and balcony
Only photo I have is of a pile of blocks I had to grind up. It's a tooling and manufacturing company that makes all their own tools and my job at the moment is to use a surface grinder to make all the blocks perfectly square and +/- .005mm in dimensions before they go to be CNC machined into forms, dies, crop blades, punches etc. They use many different kinds of tool steel ranging from not much harder than mild steel to the hardest I've encountered so far, K110 which gets hot after a .02mm cut on the grinder takes ages to grind that stuff since you have to wait for it to cool down every time (the only grinder with coolant is currently too innacurate to use) These 7 particular blocks are M238 and about 150mm x 70 x 50, all had to be absolutely identical.

Hey it was a few weeks ago and I can't remember every block I grind I usually get a pile of blocks and a list of the item numbers and their dimensions, the actual dimensions are just arbitrary numbers but I still get them within 5 microns of those arbitrary numbers

Did th resulting pics work through your iphone or backup method ? Some untidy buggers around leaving shtuff around for the sparky to crack his ankl on !! The builder needs to put a bit of fear in some of the workers esp if he has a skip provided. Is that the ocean in the background ? aa-aaaagh ....... relaxing eh ?
