  • i heard you breathe throughout the clip!

  • @izaatmusic haha! yeah i noticed, i should have put music or something to it.

  • If thats the pond off Huntington Street I sank (or had sank out from under me) more than one raft in that pond. My frame of reference only goes back to 63 or so but that doesn't look like the area to me. You know which well he is working at the beginning of the video.

    If you have any more videos or even still pictures of that area it would be cool to see them.

  • It was a well on the north side of the pond about 100ft from Huntington street, the camera angle was facing huntington st. with part of that small hill where17th and the RR tracks were (in the background), the well pumping at the end was close to Deleware in the same lake looking toward Hunington St.

  • @ShackieChan lmao

  • Bravo! I use to drill by myself underground all the time. I could trip out of the hole faster than anybody else with a helper!

  • do you know where there is some drilling rig parts to an a old lay down rig mostly need 17 in rotary table

  • Meow that's impressive.

    

  • Interesting clip, this guy was a one man Army.

  • Legendary. I thought I was cool for hanging out in the dog house as a toddler on my dad's rigs, but there's the little baby in his stroller there... I can't compare.

  • @worstofwrestling I work on rigs, my dad worked on rigs around the world for the better part of the last 40 years, and my grandpa worked on rigs 65 years ago, and if they have anything to say about it it's a shade better than it once was. My grandpa could barely remember a tower that the cops didn't stop by to pick somebody up off the rig. I always has been and always will be a rough industry, but the tolerance for unsafe practices and drugs is constantly dropping.

  • looks like LA in the movie 13th floor. rigs everywhere.

  • good old days...now every young bloke who spends 3 months on a rig thinks they need a pay rise coz they are experts
