I opted for the Bahama job since cutting shipside in the hot Texas sun didnt do much for me. The idea is to cut up the aircraft carrier,and if all goes well,there are lots more ships in the mothball fleet. I have a friend who arranged the tow on the carrier.

    I can post pics of the scrap job in the Bahamas if anyone is interested
    I know I am. Feel Free to post or send me a link via pm to a imageshack or something.



    Sirscrapalot - Color me interested.

    I have to work today,so I have no time to sort through 3 CDs worth of pics and post to photobucket. But Sunday morning,I will have time since the dog and the wife sleep in till 9 am. I will post in a different thread so as not to hijack this one.
    At some point,I should take some pics of my current project at work........mind numbing work. We bought 5000 ton of twisted rebar. We bail it into 3ft x4ft x10 ft bales and then I cut the bale with my big victor torch into 2 ft chunks making some real nice heavy melt. Now you know what I will be doing till Christmas
