Steady progress - some nice rocks out today but not the one we're all eagerly waiting for. We used to call those big bars with the chisel end 'wrecking bars'. Not sure if that was just a colloquialism or its actual name.
@@SubterraneanRalph Just to confuse everyone I consulted Wiki... A crowbar, also called a wrecking bar, pry bar or prybar, pinch-bar, or occasionally a prise bar or prisebar, colloquially gooseneck, or pig bar, or in Australia a jemmy, is a lever consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points, used to force two objects apart or gain mechanical advantage in lifting 😂
@@SubterraneanRalph The one's with 180 degree bend we call a crow bar. The wrecking bar has a chisel type blade at one end and a point at the other - designed for wrecking concrete. Generally very heavy and about 1500mm long.
The crowbar is a good purchase. Try to keep it close to vertical or you'll wear out your arms too quickly.
Nice going in general though.
@@SubterraneanRalphYeah you're spot on!Hence why I had a nap at the end of that video. Sore arms and back this morning 😂

We call a wrecking bar a pinch bar. They have a small bend on one end and almost a 180 degree bend on the other.
Next time I'm the shed I'll show you.

@@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild it's interesting how these things changed over time and now mean different things depending on where you are.
@@TunnelTrek yes that's right, I forgot about jemmy bar. That's not so common these days.
