18' long/tall weldment, needed to turn it over. So I slipped a 1/2" grade 8 bolt through a hole, and through the chain. The welder I was supervising was "Dick Back Dan, who lost a wrestling match with a chain saw and ended up with a hare lip. Just as soon as as it was high enough, he walks underneath. I says whoa, what the heck you doin? You got no need to be under there, get out. He does, and I hit the UP in the fork livt. Maybe too hard, because it was enough to snap that grade 8 bolt. I guess the ears are pretty close to the eyes, Funny how the big BOOM! made Danny's eyes REAL BIG. ;^)

The weldment was a 18x15 duct for a bag plant at the gravel pit. We were standing it up so Danny could weld the corner seams vertical/down. Much faster that way. Speed counts when you've got 72 feet of seam.
