I am truly amazed by what these guys can make with scrap steel working on the floor for the most part.
When I was working in the UK part of our company one of the engineers was sent out to India to get their shop running better. When he returned to the UK at Christmas he said his hardest task was to try to get them to work on a bench rather than on the floor.
Watched a video the other day where they repaired a heavy trailer axle. It must have been at least 4" diameter and appeared to have been cracked for some time.
Pulled the axle out of the trailer on the side of the road. Onto a 3 wheel cart to the machine shop. Where he built up the broken end with weld. Turned it back. Turned the rest of the axle then welded it back.

My brother worked in Sri Lanka for a couple of months. He told me when they had to move heavy equipment elephants were brought in and they would pull the equipment with ropes and rollers. Cheap labor.... they worked for peanuts

At work (Kroger) they played Arlo Guthrie's "Coming into Los Angeles".
I was a little surprised to hear that one.
That got me to thinking.What if they'd played Elvis's music in the stores
in the '50's? I'd guess that Mothers would be grabbing their kids and run out
of the store,vowing to never ever shop there again.
