Customer Reviews
Planes still use steel
I am an aerospace mechanic, worked on the 373 (which, fun fact: still uses some steal parts) the 777, and the 787 (which don’t use any steel anymore)
Ps. Can you please do a podcast episode for the floating rail bridge in Seattle WA. It’s had a problem with the rail ties but should be up and running by next year and your video on it has over 1M views
My child hood has been turned upside down
Morning Fred and Luke, Evening Liam, Working in the construction industry as a welder I rather enjoy listening to you boys whilst I’m laying down a weld. Thanks for the great entertainment during my long and lonesome shifts.
But now for the real reason my comment is named what it is. First off I’m an American born in the late 90s. I now have a 1.5 year old son and I started to let him watch some of the old tv shows that I watch while I was a kid. One of them being Bob the Builder. Only a couple of weeks ago did I realize that Bob the Builder was a British TV show! Growing up I never knew that and going back now and rewatching them it just blew my wife and I’s mind.
Also side note: Akron, Ohio was the first place in the US to have the first interstate highway and currently the are redoing a whole overpass junction because it hasn’t really been updated since it first opened and just north of the junction they building a new bridge to replace the old bridge that crosses the Little Cuyahoga River all this is due to finish some time in 2025… “allegedly”
Anyways keep up the great work gents
My new favourite podcast
The banter of 2000s-era top gear applied to the exciting world of construction. This has rapidly become one of my favourite podcasts. A great way to keep up to date on all the major projects going on around the world and have a laugh at the same time. (Warning: lots of British humour, may not apply universally)
