Thanks!

I'm a Union Pipefitter, I've worked in a wide variety of commercial and industrial projects. I assure you, if he was doing this on a job today he'd be wearing gloves, a hard hat, safety glasses at a minimum. Likely ear plugs and a face shield as well.

Definitely Old School Cool!👍👍

No, gloves are not ppe when using a machine like in the picture or like I described before. Its more dangerous to wear gloves in those situations than to not.

Zoom in. Most of that is shadow.

Unless you're on a commercial or industrial job of any size, 100% PPE.

All I see is tinnitus

70s Chicago-style air ventilation was just a small open window at the back.

I wonder if the inside of his lungs looked like the outside of his pants...

Probably practical. If you're leaning over stuff all day long the buckle will constantly catch on things and start to piss you off.

He was probably making a hood living wage too back then compared to now doing the same job

Never heard an announcer say after a pitch, " that ball was over the base" ! It's over the crockery, right ?

Still do, just not yours because you went to college or you work in the service industry

Abuelo be looking like a serial killer

They just didn’t care about safety back then 😂

I’ll bet he said “what?” A lot when people spoke to him.

It's probably a cold cut saw. Much much quieter.

People's pants got DIRTY back then.

I know the wider angle shot. This one looks very weird to me.

Gloves are more dangerous than going bare handed with machinery that spins. Youre at risk of getting the glove caught and yanked around whatever is spinning. If it spins, rotates, or operated on a belt/band never use gloves or any loose fitting clothing/loose hair.

How do I reach these kidsssss

There are 4 bases in baseball, not three and some crockery.
