johnbaz Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi all I was just wondering what everybody does to earn a crust?? I'm a burner in a heavy foundry, I don't know for how much longer as i've Arthritis setting in in all my joints.. Anyhow, this is what I do.. I also open the ladles with an Oxy lance, here's a five ladle job, over 500 tons of molten metal going in to one mould.. And some of the castings we produce.. So, what will you be going back to on monday or tuesday??? Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendersons Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 If I'm recognising those buildings properly John. I think you should be telling the other folk on here how you used to be an arms supplier to evil dictators and how you had a go at building the worlds biggest shotgun (insert winky smiley I'm too simple to figure out how to do it on my phone) All the best Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendersons Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Should have spotted the name really but it's a bit difficult getting a decent picture on the phone. Nice to see somebody still manages to earn a crust from steel in Sheffield though. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
