That's interesting,
For anyone interested in Naval (ship - as in floating castles ) this is a great series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiCXOpecLZ0

Did you hear about the guy whose dogs determine the walkie path of the day based on the Drach podcast their master is listening to? ("Dry Dock" opening vs the rest... IIRC). Also for anyone interested in very recent ships (and subs) H I Sutton, on Youtube or his blog or Twitter.

Seems fairly recent technology (some CNC machines) but I also see someone smoking on the job, so possibly early 80s? And if you love machining and Australian accent (both of the heavy kind), don't miss Kurtis, his lathes, and his dog here: Cutting Edge Engineering Australia - YouTube

Nothing new, in my early years I worked in a factory that made parts for a company with the same name of a caterpillar (yes, that heavy ones).

I don't think they were ever exported to Australia. I took this photo 10 years ago in the Super Pit @ Kalgoorlie WA. It's an open cut gold mine. I'm not sure what loaders they use in the iron ore mines in WA. They are using electric haul trucks and driverless ore trains. I find engineering and machine restoration videos relaxing and informative. The machine shop in Australia is a good example. Just watched the guy cutting thread on big bolts. Now I know how it's done |
