So that's how it's done
12/27/22 at 14:29:16

Well I am on Covid isolation this week, tested positive on Christmas. But this is the second go round as I had Covid 3 weeks ago and now have rebound Covid. I took Paxlovid the first time and they are now finding out that with that treatment it increases the posibbility of rebound. Live and learn, but with it all I have been just keeping myself occupied around the house. My buddy who is a major tinkerer, has been sending me YouTube suggestions to help fill the time and he sent me this one the other day. It is how they build motorcycle gas tanks in 3rd world.

It is interesting in how 1) some of the workers look like kids. 2) how these guys are doing heavy fabrication work in sandals and flip flops.

They do some really cool aluminum tanks too. Affordable, that’s where all those eBay n Amazon fuel tanks come from and they do all those bikes built in India. Thailand has some cool m/c stuff too.

OMG ! Sorry to be a downer, but Worksafe BC would shut this place down in 2 seconds! and yet it provides a paycheque to people who desparately need it. Clever of these
people to produce tanks using manual tools though! and not a single piece of safety equipment!!

Similar conditions to people breaking up old ships with acetylene torches, right on the beach !
Cheers! Cool

I have watched several of these videos on YouTube.

In one video they are making rear sprockets for motorcycles. They start by punching out a round blank from odd sized rectangular sheets with various color of paint - I believe the steel is from those beached ships they cut up.

I am amazed how few tables or work benches you see - nearly everything is done on the dirt floor while the workers squat. In one video I watched them rebuild a cylinder head and they were working in the dirt with the head set up on a couple of small pieces of wood. In another video they tear apart a lead acid battery and put in new plates and melt strips of plastic to glue the case back together.

Someday I will be old......But not today!
