Rhythmic pile-driving!


I had to smile at this video clip of human pile-drivers at work in Thailand.





Shows what a little ingenuity, and some synchronization, can accomplish!

Obviously NOT driving through hard stuff... But interesting! :-)

I had composed my comment in my mind about "Yeah, syncing up hammerblows in blacksmithing is like that." Then I watched the video. No, no, we didn't do it that way at all. Funny!

I do love all of the clever ways in which folks get the job done faced with a lack of what many would consider required tools.

It's amazing the solutions people can find.

Seen elsewhere "most houses in Bangkok are built on nine meter precast skin friction piles, normally five piles per footing pad"
