I just thought it would be interesting. Doesnt matter where you work, just snap 3 photos and upload them







I have been roughing in the electrical wires in a largeish house

Sent from my new touchy phone thingy

Edited with my folding computer thingy

Be even more interesting if the pictures came through! And when you master it, I may have to crank up my HuRwe sitting idle with no sim card

I could but then I would lose my job........................

i cant really show photos, but i can give you a link so you can see what im doing at the moment.

Can't post pics either as I work at client companies doing IT work. Currently onsite now at a university... In Perth.

I can post pics of my old work when i get home.

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.

hmmmmmmmm

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

Mmmm thats embarrassing. First time of trying to upload with my phone

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 ?

I work in an office at the moment, which isn't terrible exciting. But here are some very serious pics...






Fun size mars and snickers, wrapped in puff pastry and baked....
