I cannot possibly imagine not doing this job in a fully sealed deep diving suit with a hepa filter and chainmail from head to toe.

Silicosis is a fucking nightmare on par with mesothelioma and emphysema.

Honestly, this is actually one of the times where the satirical word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is actually applicable!?

… what’s the chainmail protecting against?

aodhsishaj ,

Puncturing the diving suit, and also psychological reassurance being near that massive saw.

custard_swollower ,

Chainmail does not secure against punctures, only cuts.

Septimaeus ,

Anecdotal but a kitchen I worked at used it for shucking oysters, i.e. specifically to prevent puncture of skin.

@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

They meant puncture as in stabbing the chainmail with a pointy thing vs cutting it. They do offer some protection but it’s easier to get through; more force in a smaller area

Septimaeus ,

That makes sense. I suppose that’s what plate was for?

Yeah it’s all about tradeoffs, really. Plate’s great but it does weigh and cost more so you wouldn’t see as much of it in the field – although it’s not nearly as clunky as popularly portrayed because you had to be able to fight in that thing. A lot of the time throwing some mail and a gambeson on a peasant is Good Enough™ for the mass of your army

Septimaeus ,

I recall a tour guide at the armory museum in Boston describing accounts of (presumably well-to-do) armor wearers showing off their suits’ mobility by doing cartwheels. Still difficult to imagine, but yeah fighting in clunky armor sounds like it could easily be more dangerous than none at all.

aodhsishaj ,

Depends on the mass of the projectile and the size and material of the rings of the mail.

    Sheesh, in San Francisco even closing the afters at 6am isn’t that problematic!

    Wonder if the genre or the region has more of an impact. What’d you listen to in Ybor (Tampa?), any house?

    Does volcanic glass really look like that? Perhaps it’s just glass slag from a factory.

    It’s slag.

    Kyrgizion ,

    The only type of (natural) volcanic glass found in appreciable quantities is obsidian. I don’t know of any others at all.

    Okay NGL, I would love to have blood red gravel to decorate… Something. If I owned property.

    Blood red gravel that draws red blood…Doom Guy vibes in landscaping

    Why do we need crystal balls?

    Not making a future pun.

    … Huh? No, we don’t have that, but we do have “oh shit!” as in “Oh shit I lost another finger!”

    Thumbnail looks dope, here’s the URL without Google’s shady little tracker if you wanna edit it in:

    Edit: this is so cool

    There must be easier (and safer) ways to make novelty bowling balls.

    Misleading title, but fascinating video nonetheless.

    gibmiser OP ,

    I wasn’t sure if this was a community that removes posts if you change the title.

    systemglitch ,

    Understandable, I would have left the original title intact as well. A real enjoyable video, thanks for posting.

    Skanky ,

    My lungs itched after watching that video.

    Do they have an Etsy?
