    I reckon that's his 'sidewalk' bucket, with the retainer bar/plate, about 4 x 24" at the top, to keep the slabs from overbalancing...yea, and the skills these guys have..oh well, I can do some things good too! ...but not that...cheers, and thanks to all for wonderful contributions and comments to these threads of workplaces old and new.
    I passed the BLUM warehouse in Western Sydney today and will post a note in the 'pallet racking demo' thread. Give me a few days, as I'm off to the bach in Raglan, NZ for Christmas with the son and daughter's families (with the 12 year old workshop convert). Hopefully, we'll find 'stuff to do' there....maybe a bar leaner out of old pallets. .yea, that'd be a good one, complete with a cutting board insert for the limes for the Coronas...seriously, you all have a lovely Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

    A machine that size costs about $60.00 an hour at a minimum to operate plus the operator's wages insurances and lease payments. and can only stack about the same amount as 2 $ 8 to 12.00 an hour laborers could stack in the same amount of time, so Hire 5 or 6 out of work laborers from under some nearby bridge pay them $10.00 an hour plus feed them a good hot meal or 2 give them each a pair of sturdy gloves to keep use that machine for more constructive or destructive purposes. you have completed the job faster more economically and provided work for 6 guys who probably really can use the money.
