- Another little domestic Rock Blasting Job, this time the rock is piece of hard Granodiorite that is in the way of a new drive way. Today "Blaster Girl" had some spare time so she came to help her Dad with the drilling as I'm recovering from a finger injury which makes the job a bit more difficult than usual.

To be honest, if my dad's job was blowing shit up, I'd be there too.
Go Go Blaster Girl.
My new super hero.
She will be making more appearances.

Hi again Dave.
I realy looking forward to see Blaster girl soon again.
I also wonder, it looks like no one of you ware earprotection!? I have used alot of rock drilling tools. And they make a hell of noice!
/J
@@janne65olsson Looks like she actually removed foam earplugs @ 8:22 mark :)
Great that you can get the kids involved and see what the old man does for a living!
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
You bet Ken, Two down and one to go.
Wow!...it's not every day you see a lady on a Jackhammer. My hats off Lady.
It is not a light one either, not much she won't have a go at.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast There is no such thing as a 'light' hammer in my opinion. I brought my two girls up in the same manner. But the thing that impressed me most was the fact she was there at all.
We Aussies breed a lot of wonderful Women.
@@shaenj My light one is an Atlas Copco RH571 @ 19Kg this hammer is a RH658 copy with and air leg bracket on it and that brings it up to about 28Kg. Not much she won't have a crack at.
Good to see young people getting involved.
Indeed KP
Lovely young lady,! The best part is she will work with her Dad. My daughter is like that too. Makes dads proud to see their little girls grow up and be able to handle stuff. Cheers, mate!
Too right RH, she is a s tough as nails, dead lifts 100KG at the gym and she is only little!
Dave - I watch your work, and it is like art. Minimal charges with over fill to keep the force in the rock. [I am guessing] 1985 - I worked securing a site where blasting was being done. I saw rocks up 50 ft off the ground. This guy finally put a rock thru the hood of a foreman's truck. The cowboy was fired. Next group - I had heard of them, like you - minimal loading and it was great to watch someone who knew rock. i was going to clear 500 meters, as we had with the first guy. I was 30 meters standing beside the blaster. I felt this gentle rumble and the rock danced up. Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for watching CW, we have all heard stories of people throwing rocks, even very large rocks hundreds of meters, it boggles me, it's really not rocket science.
Hi Dave, and Blaster Girl, it's great when your kids are willing to help out, my two are grown up now ,but we still help each other out, and the crack is usually good two, not many young ladies would give that a go dave, you must be very proud of her, I whish her well, thanks for the video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and family, Stuart uk.
Thanks for watching Stuart, I am very proud of her.
good on your daughter for giving you a hand.shes not afraid of a bit of hard work.thanks for sharing this with us dave.
Definitely not afraid of hard work Bruce, she is always up early and putting long hours in her own venture.
All in the family!! Great job Blaster Girl!! Stay safe!! Jim
Thanks for watching Jim, only one more kid to get out on the job now.
Retired now, but I had all three of my kids help me when they were growing up, and that is some of my fondest memories
Understand completely John (?) and they love to help. I'll never forget the look of sheer delight on my youngest daughters face when at age 4 I sat her on my lap and got her to operate the controls of the excavator and we demolished an old brick BBQ.
Can’t be anything better than having a lovely daughter who loves blowing stuff up with her old man! Great video!!! 👍
Absolutely!!
Your daughter looks to make it easy to be proud of her. You have every right to be a proud papa. Enjoy the time together. They seem to grow up so quick. Stay well.
I'm very proud of her Jeff, thanks.
That’s awesome! You and your daughter having a blast at work together! A true blonde bombshell.
Not much she won't have a crack at.
*_Blaster girl even wore safety yellow to job site...._*
Dave, just noticed your clever homemade drill alignment plate with attached vac hose. Helps keep drill from wandering over hard surface before it bites into rock. The vac removes rock dust safely. Also, use of respirator type mask keeps dust out of lungs.
It makes collaring in very hard rock, on a slope easy.
How many daughters can tell people they help dad blow things up? It is refreshing to see young women doing jobs like yours.
Thanks for watching GW101
Always heartening to see skills passed on to the younger generation. Long may both your legacies grow!
Thanks for watching Chris.
Glad to see your Daughter taken up the family business. Tough ain't the word for it. And may I say Pretty too.
She has her own business venture, just helps me out from time to time Rich.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast That's a great Daughter to help her Dad.
Daughters are great ❤😂❤😂 She doesn’t mind a little hard work. My pride and joy is getting her Masters degree this month. Merry Christmas
I'm very proud of this Girl, she has become a bit of a business tycoon at a young age and employs several people. Thanks for watching and contributing.
Dave its great to see your daughter out helping you, it looks as though she been helping dad for sometime with how she was able to handle the jackhammer, my daughter was 9 when we built our first go kart she was also taught how to weld at the same age. I love that my daughter is in her 30's and still knows how to weld, back the boat in the water and she can level out a house lot with my tractor, what fun
Job well done Hank, I was about 12 when I had my first crack at welding and yes it was on a lawn mower engine powered go kart.
Howdy from Sacramento, Dave! Great to see you have a family apprentice. She appears to have your attention to detail and is a hard worker to boot. Riding that drill cannot be easy....
Thanks for sharing!
She is a Gem KP and your right about the drill, I've had several guys that wanted to work with me that have done one day and said "love the job but no way, not using that drill".
Great video Dave you 2 make a great team
Thanks Bob, I'll get her trained up on the drill rig next.
I imagine the following conversation between your daughter and her friends, asking what did she do last weekend, and her epic reply, "Oh...nothing much...ran a drill...set some charges...made big rocks into little rocks...what did YOU do?"
That is about it, she is pretty handy with a dirt bike also, not much she won't have a crack at.
My daughter would probably love this.
My Daughter does! Share it with here Bruce.
"I wish I had a son" he said once, now he thanks God for such daughter.
I have some of each AM, my Son has done years of work with me.
More "pure gold" Dave - I love these vids, keep them coming
Thanks SS, they will keep coming!
Passing down the knowledge and business to a prospective younger generation and family ( I think) to boot . Go blaster girl. Howdy from Texas
Howdy John, yes, two out of my three kids have had a crack at it, My son Kevin has a license and has done about 150 jobs with me, started helping on Saturdays when he was only 14.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast keep up the awesome work and love watching before and after cause and effect.
Always nice when your kids take an interest in helping you with your job!
It sure is JT, Had the another one of them helping yesterday
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast I really think the reason a lot of young kids are lost and into weird stuff is because they don't physically do things, particularly with their parents.
Keep the helper busy i seen her standing around lol.
Nicely done by both of you.
I'll work on that Scruffy
Thanks for sharing Dave. Stay safe.
Thanks for watching Rich.
Lol gold star for Blaster Girl helping out - nice one again Mr D - thanks for sharing this with us please all stay safe and well sending regards 👏❤️😁xxx
I'll forward this comment to here MLE.
That's something cool to put on the CV: "Apprentice Explosives Tech"! :)
Your daughter is lovely. I am impressed that she knows how to work. A lot of young people don’t.
She sure is Troy and showing early success in her own venture.
I’ve ran one of those hand drills before. It’s impressive to see her use it. Thanks for the video!
Glad to hear that you have also had a go Warren, it is not a job for wimps.
...good one, nice addition to your workforce..lol..good job..keep safe..
Thanks for watching Bob.
You had some big rain there, I see. We here in central Florida , had 5.5" last night in 2 hours. I thought I was going to have to start bringing in the animals 2 by 2.
I won't complain then Steve, I had a similar amount at my home but over 4 or 5 days with very little let up - that was the really annoying part.
Dave, you must be one very proud Dad!
Oh yeah!
Compliments to you and especially Blaster Girl. She seems to know exactly what to do. You can tell she's done this before. Thanks from Houston and be safe.
Oh thank you! She is pretty good at a lot of things, rides a YZ250 dirt bike like a champion.
Keeping it in the family Dave - great.
As so often, some pretty huge chunks yet again. Excellent slow-mo.... great results. :)
Another super video Dave .
I have to go back to this job Chris, I'll take some video of huge chunk for you in his yard that landed there from some previous blasting back in the 70's, it flew about 150m and it is the size of an SUV!
Dave and blaster girl what a team thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺👀
Our pleasure Kerry
Dave, very impressive young lady. Kudos to you and Blaster Girl
Thanks Tom
How did you end up with a daughter so cute! Lol she must take after her mother. Lol I think it’s great that she can help you. Kids now days don’t want to work at all!
You are so kind Rob, this one knows how to work.
That is what family does... help each other. Next time adopt me and I will zoom down to Melbourne. I like using my hands to make bedrock vanish.
It finally 'clicked'... the rock is Granodiorite. On another jobs I saw iron oxide staining on the weathered rocks. This form of Granite has some iron in it.
Quick observation: the power of high explosives can't be overstated. When you can move a 25 ton pile of dirt used to contain rock frags 1 meter into the air in 1/10th of a second, that is serious power. When used right, explosives becomes a powerful tool.
Lysterfield Granodiorite Type I
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast I saw a geologic video recently. It was describing all the different types. I never knew the difference so thanks for input.
We have lots of Basalt and Andesite here. In most places it is weathered and fractures easily. Quarries rarely have to blast.
On top of the bedrock, we have a very thick layer of alluvial sands, gravels, and cobbles, especially along our river.
Where are you Steven??
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Thanks for question. I live in Central Washington State, about 150 miles SE from Seattle. I lived in the Seattle area for years. 150 miles is a tiny distance for you. Living in Australia requires patience trying to get from place to place. Your trip times measured in days, ours in hours.
I live on the 'dry side' in a rain shadow from Cascade Mountains and it is arid. Seattle is on wet side of mountains. They get lots of rain during winter. Of course, rain brings lush trees and forests.
I really like your approach to work and family. We share that in common.
Thanks regards from Bangor North Wales.
Thanks for watching Les.
I see you cover with handy dirt a lot, in the states I see a lot of steel chain mail mats and rubber mats made of cut up old tires. Could it just be the hassle of moving those for small jobs?
In my early days of blasting I used blast mats exclusively and still do occasionally. It is a hassle moving them as I need to make Two trips or pay an extra person to drive the second vehicle. Other issues are that I would spend weekends repairing them and they don't really cut the noise down much and it is the big noise that brings complaints. The dirt is already on the site.
You must feel very proud to have your daughter work with you, looks this isn't the first time she has helped her dad cause it looks like she knows what she is doing the way she preps up the blasting caps for you and handles the jackhammer
She has helped a few time Larry, smart kid, never had to tell her how to do something more than once. Yeah, I'm proud of her.
Hope your feel better and recovering well after your finger injury.
Yeah, it's not great but getting better Roland.
Good to hear, take care.
Handheld Drilling into granite is not easy. Well done 👏
Only those that do it know the difficulty Ryan.
Very cool :) Keep yourselves safe down that end of the rock Dave :)
Always trying to be safe, thanks for watching Neill
Your daughter it is a brave person - to be appearing in a video!
It would be a brave person who crosses her.
Good to have the kids help in parent's projects! Has she decided what she wants to do in life?
Yes Bob, she has recently started her own venture that is going well.
And the tree says what the hell is going on here? Good vibrations or bad? Should’ve taken the tree out it’s done anyhow. Glad to see you have competent help.
She is a good worker.
I like to see the difference between an uncovered blast and a covered blast . I’m sure I know what it would be but I’d still like to see a demonstration
plenty of uncovered blasts on this channel 00j - see the most recent - ruclips.net/video/PIJQvyfBy1Y/видео.html
Great work Team Blasters.
Thanks a lot 😊
That's some damn nice rock... hope they are able to use it as a feature on the site!
He is Peteb2
That's AWESOME that your daughter is picking up the skills and works with dad! Way to go, both of you! And man, that's gotta be some fun stories "What did you do this summer?" . XD
Thanks 👍
Dave, my sister lives in Melbourne and she say the place is in total lockdown! Take care out there.
Yeah, greater Melbourne is in stage 3 lockdown, that means you can only leave home to buy food or other essentials, to receive or give care or to work if can maintain a safe distance from others or for limited local exercise e.g. walk the dog.
Dave, it must be a real conundrum for the bureaucrats when you’re master blaster and maintaining a safe working distance!
this is an attempt at humour, covid19 is no joke, so again look after yourself and thanks for the great videos
Wow, hard working women! Getting ready for her own crew :) Go Blaster Girl !
Thanks for watching James, she runs a successful business of her own, Yes very hard worker.
Great stuff, teaching the trade👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Kelly.
I wish this work would be possible where i live. Here its 99% bureaucracy to blast the smallest rock. Its to the point where noone does it. And for you guys its a family friendly thing i envy that.
Also you got good genes dave, made a proper one. Cheers.
We are not free from Bureaucracy here MLJ, not by a long shot! I have paperwork and red tape, mountains of it. What country are you from?
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Im from Germany.
this channel just keeps getting better and better !!!
Thanks, Blaster Girl will make another guest appearance soon.
i bet your channel would get super famous if the name was changed to "Blaster Girl". Oh by the way if you ever heard about a blasting accident in Belize - i just wanna say i knew the guy - his secretary / girlfriend is our neighbor!!! Anyways they flew up to texas one time and there was some blasting chemical residue on his briefcase ....... set off a bunch of alarms ha ha. Anyways here is a video of the blast - it shook our house about 2 miles away: ruclips.net/video/TxGWR9nZWcs/видео.html
@@------country-boy------- That is a shocker Country Boy, how can that happen in this day and age?
I saw water running from the first blast Dave; was this in the ground being held back by the boulder? So nice to develop a skill passed from one generation to the next only partly because it adds value to; currently doing the work.
I think the water that you speak of was from a puddle that was just outside of the camera view.
Nice touch with the gong sound at 4:11 ;-)
There was a couple of acrow props lying on the ground next to the shot, some small rock kissed them.
Do you sell those rocks to landscape companies.... You could make some amazing water features and rock gardens with them
This often happens Nigel.
As I was in munitions in the service ( Bombs n missiles , things that go KA BOOM from aircraft etc )....one thing I never wanted to say was I get a blast out of it ( yer way too close...) I'll bet both you and Blaster Girl can honestly say with glee..."I get a blast out of my job..."
Really enjoy your vids...thank you!
Yeah I do get a blast out of it, especially the large uncovered shots Paul.
Yes , one of those small jobs that take all day .
You got it Bob.
She knows explosives ! A warning to the boys , Don't cross her ! LOL
She is good with guns also MG.
BlasterGirl is just and fair.
She seeks peace, justice and the Australian way, by wielding “Thrüngeborg” the Hammerdrill of Destiny, along with quite a bit of explosive.
A fetching yellow and black cloak wouldn’t go amiss either, what with Christmas just gone.
796👍's updemolition Dave thank you again for taking us all along with you for another great show of destruction and moving rocks
Glad you enjoyed it
WOW. Rare to see a pretty Melbourne girl doing HARD work!
She takes after her Dad... in doing the hard work at least.
Having Blaster Girl in the thumbnail and the video together is sure to increase your vwiewership by three-fold. I've noticed that a TON of videos use a pretty lady in the thumbnail to draw in all the incel ad revenue! Then when they find out she blows s*it up, it's an instant subscription.
I think you might be on the money there TG, she might have to help out more often.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast LMAO!!
Most girls: "my dad was great, he built me a doll house!"
Your girl: "my dad was great, he taught me how to blow stuff up!"
You are making me smile more than most of your videos do! Lol
On a completely different note,
Will you adopt me? Lol
Will I adopt you? What sort of radio gear do you come with?
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast *sheepish look*
I usually support other people's gear, or did mobile emergency comms, but my mobile setup got stolen a couple years ago, so I just have an HT currently...
#useless
Great help !!!
Sure is Ralph.
MORE Blaster Girl!
In this video at 54 seconds - ruclips.net/video/VlDazC1RWpk/видео.html
Way to go blasting girl!!!
Me make 'em tough.
blaster girl is a great name. superhero.
She is my hero, not much she won't have a crack at.
Your daughter seems like she knows a fair bit about blasting and she’s pretty too ! I wonder if the work will affect that tree ?
She is the "A" student of the family, doing well in her own business in a different line of work. Still a very hands on outdoor work.
Blaster Girl is a good egg..
Indeed she Is ILT
Well I cocked up my last comment. Went "Back to the Future" too far:D. Nice to see you have an apprentice, almost like the old days. Cheers.
Yes, she is good help.
What is the material used in the blasting ? What do you think of gunpowder as a material for blasting rocks ??
Gun powder was used for many years to break rocks.
Good Aussie girl there. Good on ya.
She is as tough as nails this one Aaron, not much she won't have a crack at.
How has blaster girl not blown up the internet? Just an idea but she would get millions of followers. Only found your page today and I love it, now I love it even more because you got your daughter blowing shit up hahahah thats gold Thanks for sharing your work.
Thanks for getting on board Philip, I'll have to get her on the job again soon, she runs her own business so not always available. Keep watching for "Blaster Girl Returns"
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast That's awesome Dave. If she is running her business you have done an awesome job at home too. Great to see some hard working Aussies keep it up.
Tight professional work 👍🏻 Interesting that the job was in separate shots so were you trying to create relief from the first shot before final shots?
I just broke it up because we were very short on soil to cover it with Francis.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Lol, that complex :-)
It was great to see Blaster Girl helping out, and not on her phone.
Yeah.. I hear you Jim.
I got 1 kid that loves it and one that hates it. Guess 50/50 is not too bad.
I think that is good going James
I don't know how tough she is but she is a good looking young woman
She's a Gem
Agape dude. Enjoy watching things go boom.
we all do here!
When it’s not sped up by the magic of video editing, how long does it take to drill each hole?
And how long does each bit last (and how much do they cost?). I imagine they must be a pretty fair expense.
Depends on lots of variables Michael, when everything is good and sharp, hammer in good order, enough air etc, takes about 90 seconds to drill a 32 x 500mm hole in average granite. The replaceable drilling head coats about $35 and lasts about 60 meters.
@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Thanks Dave. Interesting. I imagined it would be slower than that.
Well, my block is on soft shale so I don’t suppose I’ll be needing your services any time soon but still interesting to watch.
MORE BLASTER GIRL VIDEOS PLEASE
There certainly will be Bruce, she also appears in another very recent video (only very briefly)
I take it your daughter does something else normally? Either way I think learning a trade is a year or two after high school (and before university) well-spent.
She has her own little business that is doing very well.
congrats on raising a girl that can drill that is something i have never seen in the states all the girls here dont want to get dirty
She is as tough as nails Chris, this little lady lifts 100Kg at the jym!
Some nice lil pops there :D
Yeah just some gentle little ones, thanks for watching SDP
Explosion man and blaster girl are here to save the human race from doctor evil.
Evil rocks
"So What Do You Do For Fun ??"
"Aw.. Dad & Me Go Out & Blow Shit Up !"
"HOLY SHIT!!!😂😂😂😂"
Great Stuff As Always Mate !😀👍
Yep, and that is not all!
Do you guys not work in the rain? We would never get jobs finished here in Blighty
Not if I can help it Aleks, water in the blast holes is the last thing I need.
You ever work in a deep mine? Nice video with new helper.
Never done any deep underground work Ted, only a few shafts.
You covered those charges like you put mini nukes in the ground lol. Assume it was a precaution bcs of buildings.
Oh yeah, otherwise it would have gone everywhere!
does blasting near trees affect them?
No.
Good looking young lady
- Takes after her Dad.
Please tell us what the camera speed is set to, for your slow motion shots.
240 frames / second
Is she in training or does she know what is going on
She has worked with me before George, you will see here in a previous video if you watch closely
