macspeedy - 26/10/08 at 07:43 PM

become a commercial saturation diver and earn £1500 a day! but you do have to live in a bean can on the bottom of the ocean for 30 days at a time!

nathanharris1987 - 26/10/08 at 07:52 PM

macspeedy, isnt there a high fatality rate in commercial diving?


macspeedy - 26/10/08 at 07:56 PM

nope not for quite a few years, but there are a few physical side effects including bone weeknesses


eznfrank - 26/10/08 at 07:58 PM

I work for a large bank/insurer as an internal fraud investigator.

One of the main bits of my job is interviewing people accused of some form of crime - don't think I can get away with a photo of that somehow!?!

Safety has improved in commercial diving, but you still may end up in one of these, with me in charge....

As Kev found out tonight, I sleep until my work conditions are just right. This is what I have to put up with most nights, well mostly mornings.
Something a bit rare.

I went for a road trip there TODAY!!! north queensferry that is not the deep sea world, went to look at the bridge after living in Edinburgh for 3 yrs


trikerneil - 27/10/08 at 07:33 AM

I work for a Swiss company that makes sensors for pressure, force and acceleration.

Our sensors are used by quite a few of the F1 teams, not that they let me near customers.





That's me - pretending to calibrate a pressure sensor for some publicity stuff.

Gawd they must have been desperate.

With that piece of kit I can calibrate engine cylinder pressure sensors up to 250bar at 300 degrees C

Usually when they've been in an F1 engine for a couple of hours they're b*ggered anyway.

I work for Cooper bearings based in Kings Lynn.

We manufacture split roller bearings (www.cooperbearings.com).

I work as a project engineer, specifying, justifying and testing new machine tools to manufacture our range of products.

We make stuff like this:







Thats 750mm bore double bearing without its innards in. The whole thing weighs about 8 tonnes. One of the larger things we make, but we can grind anything upto about 10' in diameter.

No pics of me at work I am afriad, wouldnt be very exciting anyway! basically spend about 50% of my time standing at machines trouble shooting and the other 50% at my desk writing reports...

I like the way you are using the angry grinder without any eye protection!

this will be you:


[Edited on 28/10/08 by 02GF74]


DIY Si - 28/10/08 at 05:17 PM

Locoboy, are you mid bobtailing that? Never seen one mid transformation before if it is.


locoboy - 28/10/08 at 11:51 PM

O2GF74 - yes no protection, the photo was taken almost a year ago and i had a nast hand related accident earlier this year see this link

Since that incident i will not even lift the grinder without eye, ear, hand and body protection on.

And yes that RR clasic is part way through bobtailing, if i remember rightly it was a full 20 inches shorter when i had finished.

We have another member on here that also flys aircraft for a living. It's commercial rather than forces.

Equally impressive to me I have to say.

Geoff, how did you take that picture?

Geoff is actually the ground crew man who's job it is to clean the canopy. One day they took off while he was still polishing. Fortunately he had a camera with him

geoff shep - 30/10/08 at 04:00 PM

I like it - I was going to say something about being blown off at 400mph but that would have been childish. This one is less cropped and you see me holding the camera out in front. Used a fisheye lens but still had to hope mostly as it was all before digital and instant results.

Currently on these, and no you wouldn't like to go where the picture is taken from on your hols.
