Just the fact that he needs to lean onto the drum to get it started is scary enough...........

When our 2 day auction took place before moving from northern Illinois, A scrapper had a trailer loaded with what I thought was a lot of good stuff there was a 20 pound propane tank about 3/4 full in the pile. The guy had an oxy/acty torch on his truck and brought it back and blew a hole in the tank, when the hole opened gas started spewing out and burning, he just kept enlarging the hole so it would empty faster. I thought the guy was looney and said as much, he just laughed and said he had been doing that for 30 years. When I built a forge out of a 30 pound forklift tank, I unscrewed the valve and filled it with water and just torched the top out. A lot of people say propane is not dangerous if you know what you are doing, I don't. I am always thinking about my safety and others around me when I am doing anything and sometimes am overly confident and get reminded to slow down.

In many of those countries, if they found a NICE CLEAN barrel like that, they would be taking it home to store water. Would not matter much what WAS in it before!!!

Bet it'd MUCH more exciting with a full one!

I have long held that desiccating centrifugal shredders as used for poultry waste in a carpark outside government parliamentary buildings would be a great thing to incentivize politicians and those verminous bureaucrats to walk a straight line.
Far better than gallows or guillotines as the resultant powder can be easily stored and when enough is gathered spread by air over the seas which will feed Krill and save the whales.

How can that be running backwards when the teeth are pointed in the correct direction??

If you are referring to the egg in post #10 . We believe that the video was shot when the machine was running in reverse. Then that video was run in reverse to make the machine appear to be running in the forward direction. If you reverse reverse, you are in forward.
