Interesting Engineering Thread
« on: September 24, 2015 - 04:51:07 PM »
              I follow some engineering blogs and web sites and I'm always facinated by the things invented in days gone by, new stuff coming along today, and the future. So if you run across something post it up.   :cooldancing:

   This is really beautiful welding. From what I understand it cost $15.00 an inch. Talk about steady hands.

Almost 1800 foot tall antenna tower maintenance. Take a look of the ground when he takes a break climbing.
