Great story, Elisson. heh.
Those rigs - we used to use them to drill for water on our farms here in West Aussie. I remember those things well. This was back in the 1950's, and yeah that's showing my age..
.... damn, Og... that gives a whole new meaning to 'natural gas'....
yep, you had the job known in the patch as the tool dresser..back in my day those tools (the bits) were put in a fire and when they got hot they were "dressed" with a 16 pound sledge hammer..
I stayed away from the antiques..I worked a while on the rotary rigs..preferred the derrick over the floow..nothing gonna fall on you if you be in the derrick..
