Put your…
Anyway today, the boys and I at the emergency room had to remove a concrete doughnut around a very twisted…
leminal.space
Can I take a second to swoon over your instance name?
I hadn’t noticed. You’re right, that’s just…fantastic.
Oh come on mate, you can’t just post lower effort comment and get more likes!
I’m the Confucius of shitposting.
If a meme shits in your post, does it make a sound?
I’m concerned you don’t understand how fantastically non-dull this is.
At this point it seems likely they have at least one dull drill bit.
Carbide/diamond rotary hammer bits don’t really “cut” as much as they turn concrete into to dust a little bit at a time. Interestingly, that dust then help to abrade any steel you might encounter along the way.
A dull, and valid, point. So to say.
Man, you guys are sharp
Looks pretty boring to me.
You know the difference between drilling and boring? Drilling is when you use a rotating tool to make a hole, boring is sitting around and talking about it.
Looks like a hole in the wall to me
I figured a hole is too dull, but a hole in a vault puts it right into the sweet spot
I mean no offense but I kinda feel people like you and the box guy should be banned from this sub. You guys just don’t get what dull means. I just imagine you guys must be like double agent ninja astronaughts so all this stuff is dull to you.
Whats in the box?
I don’t know I only saw like three episodes!
Yeah i can see that. I guess my thinking is that it’s a pretty dull job, just cranking the machine until you’re done, not something even interesting enough to post. But the fact that it was a thick vault wall, made it just interesting enough to not just be boring. But the reactions here definitely say otherwise.
So much boring makes it mildly interesting to be honest.
Oh it was boring.
My heart rate increased just reading this. I bet there were diamonds involved also, you monster!
e: oh no, there were! I think I’m having the vapors.
Door
I worked in a place that was built on a vault. They used it for storage. I wouldn’t go in but they showed me, and told the tale of someone who did indeed get stuck in the vault a few years before.
They installed a phone in there after that happened.
Jeez. I’d just take the door off if I was using it for storage in a building that I assume would have other locks
Was the person OK?
They were VERY shaken up, but okay. They were in there for almost an hour. They were found when someone who was still there (working late) was like “uhhhh has anyone seen Marsha?” and nobody had, so they started searching.
The building is large and there are six floors. The vault was in B1.
Wasn’t able to text anyone the entire time they were in there. Hell no they weren’t all right.
Yes. Because if they died it wouldn’t be dull and we can’t have that here
That’s both good and boring.
That folding ruler is the only thing preventing the door to shut close and trap you in the vault forever.
I guess you can drill a bigger hole in the wall to escape.
No, bit there is actually a pice of wood in the door that does that. I wasn’t even concerned at all
I have been doing electrical work on converting two different banks to two different restaurants.
Oh boy, getting a new cable inside the vault, quite a job.
On other there was door drawn in the plans from kitchen to office. The workers started doing carving the wall in nice door shape. After 20cm (8 inches), they took longest drill they had onsite, and tested how far they needed to still go. It didn’t come through the other side. After 20 years today, there is door shape 20cm incline in the kitchen.
OP is planning something big.
God i wish. Drilling in drom the outaide would’ve been the ultimate dream.
Nah, man. You gotta build a false wall in tje vault and then hide in it and drill out in the dead of night.
Well damn. I thought about drilling in and then let a cat go through. But so far that only results in a trapped cat.
Cat in the safe eh?? You need to send another cat in to lure this cat out.
Happens all the time
So far!? What happened to the cat??
As Schrödinger once said: who knows?
It is in a superposition. Well, until you investigate.
Dude… you’ve got to give specifics. How long did it take, what type of bit, how many, all the good stuff…
From start to finish it took like 3 hours. But a lot of the time was making sure the water doesn’t go everywhere and because there was no close water access, i had to use a manual water pump thingy, which i had to refill again and again. The bits are pretty much all the same, some diamond crown bits. They last quite a long time if you don’t overheat them.
You used water for cooling? Not like a machinist cooling oil?
No, the drill is hollow and you pump water through. Also helps to flush out the dust. Except when drilling Aerated concrete or something luke that, then you juat get your bit stuck.
Neat… I always assumed they used the same lube as machining… but I guess you are more interested in keeping the bit cool opposed to the material, where machining is sort of the opposite.
Exactly. Ibalso used like 50l of water for this hole. Pumping in lobe would make a huge mess, and you would have to recycle it, but then there’s sludge in in and so on.
This topic is way too perfect for this podcast : https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05t3gr2 (BBC - The boring talks)
It’s fascinating.
Fascinating, learned something new today. Thanks, neighbor.
We’ve seen the hole, we’ve seen the door, to complete the story can we see the drill?
Unfortunately i underestimated how interesting it is. So i already went home.
You’re just keeping the drill for yourself. I understand.
Why?
For glory.
I love you
But seriously that is the best thing I’ve seen today. And it’s been a pretty good day.
Glad I could make your good day even better!
RIP the little that was already left of my brain, after I figured it out :p
Hey i’m just a guy with a big drill.
But i think to hook up a vent, because it gets reused as a kitchen.
Is the locking mechanism fully disabled? I also have an old bank vault in my company’s basement, but we did some stuff to disable it after someone accidentally locked themselves in there. Can’t imagine it’d be nice to be locked in a kitchen, especially if they need to evacuate.
The mechanism doesn’t work anymore. I didn’t try it, but there was a cardboard box with tge locking mechanism in there, so i highly assume that was the point.
It makes the wall go faster.
Ah. Speed holes. Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm.
Need a 18 inch dick for glory there.
Shit, he breached the outer wall!
