Making a giant sawhorse for all our material just thought I'd share! Had to fill a bunch of gaps because the kid who cut it didn't know the definition of square!Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Reply:I what is this mighty sawhorse meant for? I would feel more comfortable under it (loaded) if you added some kind of bracing between the legs. Seems like it wants to spread appart telling by the pictures!Mikel
Reply:Sorry if this sounds harsh but it looks to me like you guys should have put a lot more thought into your design before you started hacking up material.
Reply:Looks like it would be better suited to hang a big porch swing from.
Reply:Or may be better yet a place to hang these students Instructor from.
Reply:If you people would pay attention to the post I said I'm making not made. Its not just gonna have one beam across and I will show you the welds themselves since everybody seems to be teared up about the "design"Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
Reply:Justin, part of learning is learning correctly. Bad habits are hard to break and often times when you get to the point in your future where you come upon a job you really want you don't want to loose it right away because you have brought "bad" habits along with you. Standing on chairs and sawhorses isn't the way that most quality shops operate and an OSHA inspector would have a coronary if he/she saw that method of working. As to your instructor, he/she "should" cover this sort of thing and explain it in a perspective that properly prepares you for the future. No, don't simply tell someone not to do something, explain why it's important to do it in a particular manner or not do it at all.As to the attitude in your last post, the folks who have made design comments likely have a lot more years of experience with working around design challenges and properly addressing the building of these sorts of things. Don't simply get your hackles up, maybe listen and learn a thing or two. Or, instead of firing back, include the additional design description to put the concerns of others to rest. If you carry that same attitude to a job you might just find that your employment is short lived and your health and safety could be at risk as well.My comments are not to slight or put you down, hopefully these will serve as a reality check for your career down the road. Good luck and best regards, Allanaevald

Reply:And also I didn't design it or put it together I just welded where I was told to if I designed it it wouldn't look like this that's for damn sure, the high schoolers here put it together and I had to cover all the bad welds and now they want me to add shelfs to itSent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

Reply:It is ladder, not latter. No one here is butt hurt either. I can tell you, you would not do that working for me, and that you will not make it in the field with a 'tude like that. Good luck.

Reply:Poor little fella, he's caught between some of us more experienced hands here on the forums and what appears from all indications to be an instructor / supervisor that really doesn't have all that much fabrication experience either.   What's a young lad to do?Originally Posted by MinnesotaDaveBtw, It's not a good practice naturally, but I stand on random stuff all the time .....buckets, milk crates, paint cans, wood blocks, the rung above the "do not step above this rung" - etc...

Reply:Originally Posted by CEPOne time on a pile driving job, that crane with the black boom, the operator got the pile driving leads into the boom and knocked loose some lacing near the boom tip. I had to carry a torch up the leads and jump about 6-feet to the boom to cut the lacing out and throw them down.

Reply:There's a huge difference between the way I spell and something that goes against OSHA, this is not OSHA. Bashing my spelling isn't doing anything but showing how ignorant you are, so cry me a riverSent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
Reply:Justin,There's much worse things out there to be hooked on than "phonics".   And another thing.... that guy that corrected your spelling of "ladder"....those aren't "his" spelling specifications.   Those are generally accepted "specifications" when it comes to spelling.

Reply:Originally Posted by 4956That's a seriously improper conclusion to draw.  For one thing I think there's probably more similarities between the way you spell and " OSHA" than there are differences.   In many places both of those things appear to be fairly arbitrary to me.
