Are you sure they aren't making coracles ? It is Wales, after all.

A Coracle is a bowl shaped basket with a waterproof covering, only about 12 inches deep.Quote:

**** I had to get my glasses to read this..I thought it said they were making cockroaches baskets......
ill have to admit those are pretty darn loud. jets & top fuel dragsters are about the loudest I've ever heard...and probably heard too much of them with out protection..but they are both the sound of freedom and as such I wish to hear them daily for the rest of my life.
Today these men would be considered, "basket cases." ;-)
Perhaps, but you would not be able to say that out loud, lest you be labeled "insensitive" ..... :)Quote:

Fourth from the right is really wearin' that hat!

Ooh, experienced GUIDs...Windows only lets me generate new, inexperienced GUIDs..
The 4th guy is wearing a Tom Mix hat. I love it!
It didn't really matter what was going on, they always wore a hat!!
Growing up in New Jersey in the 1950's I had to wear a hat whenever we commuted by train to NYC. It was expected even if you were a six year old. That is just the way things went on the East coast. By the time I spent a summer in 1966 working in Arizona, everyone wore hats. The summer temperatures hit 120 degrees and long before global warming.
Been to Covelo several times. Not much there. Out in the middle of no where. Pretty little valley though. Had a friend that lived up above Covelo and we used to go hunt up there with him.
Have pondered such 'traditions' or expectations many times over the years. Many turn out just to have been clever marketing; not unlike proliferation of 'designer' COVID masks. The crowd that accepts masks so readily is the ready-made customer base.Quote:

my brain is telling me this is a drawing/painting. not a photo. as for the hats....it's not the hat that makes the man,it's the man that makes the hat work...or not. as for me Ive never been able to wear hats. I sometimes see friends that always wear hats and seeing them without a hat...hmm you look familiar, do I know you? one of our 6 kids is a hat wearer....cowboy hats.and he makes them work well.
I found that one via Shorpy.com. They tend to touch up the photos they find, and it gives some of them that over-realistic look that can seem unusual for a 100-year-old photo. Here's a good example.Quote:

Certainly a integrated team, not sure about the guy inthe overcoat except possible he worked on the skidder and needed the protection.

sweet , variable pitch!! we used to run some boat props like that.
looks like a long way to fall - such a cool pic wouldn't be allowed today . . .
I assume this is a turbine for a hydro-electric plant.
