That sounds a lot better. I wouldn't mind viewing these films with a copyright watermark. Less frustrating than finding an interesting description, then discovering it can't be watched without making a media enquiry. Regardless, wonderful archive you have over there. PS. If anyone can direct me to some reasonably long (20mins+) footage of Glasgow 1960-1980 I would be very grateful.
Shouldn't historical film archives be free, with a point of public access? I mean, it's about education and a better understanding of our past. I'll be interested to see what they charge.
I read somewhere you caught the red hot rivet in yer flat cap!! ... perhaps an unreliable source. That rivet forge is exactly what I have in my workshop to perform simple heat treatment, I have firebricks set up and use a gas blowlamp rather than coke. Its ex-shipyards off the Tyne.
Most people are wusses today compared to this. How many law suits from burnt hands would this way of work have in the states now.. I miss this kind of stuff
And he caught it by hands
😱
My grandfather was a foreman riveter in this shipyard, but he had passed away a few years earlier so was probably involved in training these men..
