AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 12-18-2023

I is is all that is is for hello everybody I'm skip Alzheimer uh welcome to the avgeeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 mm films and pump water from our basement uh if you lived in North Carolina then you probably have a lot of water that you're dealing with today uh and that's what happened is uh basement um if there's a lot of water and there's like a flood warning then we get water in the basement and so we prepared for it uh we don't have any films on the floor uh everything is up high but it's just not great and this is one of the things that we are hoping to do is to uh redo the basement so that it is uh waterproof and has some pumps built in and has ways to maintain moisture all that stuff um but what that means is we have to move all the films that are currently in the basement out um so anyways like I said this has been a longtime thing and we know about it and we've been you know working on ways to deal with it and one of the things is we have shelving units and there's no films on the bottom um so because it might rain uh let's see watching some 60mm films that last film was uh geometry and it didn't have a soundtrack because it was raw footage uh that was uh then going to be edited into uh a film about geometry um and so you notice you might have seen like a clapboard um or slate as they call it um and some mistakes uh yeah so this is part of the Coronet collection that we've been scanning all that stuff's offsite so we have a bunch of films um offsite uh so all right uh here's another cornet film and this one does have language it this is English on the job this part of a series listening and speaking skills enjoy okay sir your back your [Music] machine okay take your to the [Music] P march called in sick today Sue so Mr Ella says we should split TBL oh okay there's hardly a job where listening and speaking skills aren't important to show you these skills in action and to give you some idea of how to make good use of them we're going to visit a few job locations we'll start here at The Filling Station we saw before this is Mr Turner the owner Mr Turner yes can I help you we're getting some ideas about listening and speaking skills can we talk for a minute sure take someone like your attendant over there well that's Don he just started about a month ago I guess what about his listening and speaking skills well that's pretty much why I got the job well sir you're down about his sport okay when he came to see me about the job I like the way he talked right from the start you know there's a difference in our work between saying to a customer what's yours butt and saying good morning sir would you like tank full of Premium his attitude was good too and he sold himself well it's like I told you over the phone I'll be able to start working any shift but I guess I should tell you I don't have a lot of garage experience well I of course couldn't expect a young fellow like you to have I liked his honesty and he asked pretty good questions about the job and that show that he was really interested in it well Don I think we'll start you out on the driveway I need you out there first and then after you've had a little experience I can get you into the garage so you can learn about the shop work sounds great I know I can sell gas and oil and I learned a lot about engines when I rebuilt this old galap last month friend of mine had this gilapy swore it' never run again well that's good so Don told you enough about himself to convince you that he could do the job in some job interviews you have to talk to more than one person did Don see anyone else besides you he saw Bill our mechanic he runs the place when I'm off what did Don say to him well he pretty well told Bill what he told me the truth about himself and I'm sure he listened carefully to make sure both of us agreed on what he'd be doing I was wondering what kind of work do you think I'd be doing well Don right now you'd be mostly outside but don't worry about not getting a shot at the garage because it gets busy maybe I can help you by showing you around so what you're saying is if you see more than one person when you apply for a job don't contradict yourself and make sure the people you talk to agree on what your job will be right well that way everyone knows where he stands so listening and speaking skills are important in getting a job but of course that's not where they end let's visit this construction site near Don's gas station and see how these skills are important on the job Jim Jim what listening and speaking skills would you say are important on your job I'd say uh following and giving directions your training teaches you the trade but uh whether you're on the labor crew or driving a truck or uh on a bulldozzer it's being able to follow and give directions that uh makes a man good on a job like this [Applause] [Music] your okay anything special you do Jim when you give instructions well you have to think through what you say and uh you talk loud and clear using words everyone understands all right think it out organize it then say it so everyone understands is that it now you got it I've seen entire sewer lines torn out or some fella get hurt just because some guy forgot to do just that the other day the foreman was telling Ted to have Frank move a pile of dirt back towards the side over there hey BOS says move this pile dirt back the hole Ted tried to tell Frank to put the dirt back of the hole but Frank thought he said back in the hole we had to dig out the hole all over again what about when you listen to instructions anything special you should do well you uh mainly listen to learn the procedure but you also want to listen close to find shortcuts or uh or better ways to do something like the time the end loader broke down machine is down Jim we'll have to put you on something else in the meantime make out a shop ticket okay fine Jim this machine's going to be down for 3 or 4 days for repairs in the meantime why don't so Steve figured for a big delay but listening to him I saw a way to save time so uh until this load is fixed I'll uh I'll switch to [Music] hey wait a minute isn't isn't Bob's crew done most of their loading already why don't we use one of air machines hey Jim real good idea I'll check into it meanwhile make out the report by thinking while he listened Jim found a shortcut that kind of careful listening is also important on Don's job at the gas station okay Don Mr larsson's car needs an oil change a Lube job tune up and take a real good look at the break good listening helps you get just about any job done right here at this restaurant Helen is a waitress Helen we're talking about using listening and speaking skills on different jobs what about on your job here in the restaurant I didn't think there were any skills at first but well I found out there's more to listening than just using your ears hello excuse me Helen Mar's called in sick today so you'll have to split her tables with Sue and uh when you're not busy would you try to help out of the counter please okay which of Mar's tables should I cover Mr ell oh yes I guess I should have told you that why don't you take tables 10 to 15 over against the wall thinking while listening is important I'm not afraid to ask questions when I don't understand it's also a good idea to repeat What You've Been Told can save a lot of mistakes that way like Sue's doing roast beef medium well one salad with French and two coffees I'll get your coffee now so you repeat instructions and you ask questions about things you're not sure of just common sense listening and speaking are a basic part of Helen's job her work is a matter of communication with many people but communication during a work day isn't all always is about your job at a break Steve and Jim are having a friendly talk so are Bill and Don are speaking and listening skills important during these casual conversations well let's go back to Helen's Restaurant it's a little later now Ken Joan and Lou work together in a nearby Office they're on break let's listen in on their conversation oh well there was a great TV special on last night there's never anything good on TV anyway as I was saying I let me tell you something I haven't seen a good program on TV in 3 years Lou would you please let Joan finish hey I got to get back early well nice having coffee with you I'll see you do you have coffee with Lou very often only when it can't be avoided this uh affects your working relationship doesn't it well yes it does after all he never listens he always interrupts you don't make many friends on the job that way yeah you're right that kind of guy doesn't make friends on or off the job so having good speaking and listening skills in casual situations means that you make contributions you move the conversation along but you give everyone a chance that's just common sense too on many jobs there are meetings of the employees those are good times for the workers to review their responsibilities and make suggestions good speaking and listening skills help you speak effectively to a group and be part of a group too hi fellas morning so now that I've got you all together here let's have that meeting that I told you about yester today let's see uh Bill how are things in the shop well they're okay by my records and uh last week the racks were pretty well filled and with the cold weather coming on now I think we have everything we need with the exception of an it seems that bill is well prepared he organized what he had to say ahead of time Bill is doing something else very well call it emphasizing emphasizing is simply making the important words sound important listen you know I've been thinking if we move Don to the racks uh and we take Jack and have him cover the whole driveway we'll be able to catch up all around notice that bill also gave enough details to make everyone see why his comment was important Don what do you see going on well I have noticed something Mr Turner one important listening is being able to take suggestions and the West pump just had one car I think if Jack and I helped spread the cars this week moved cars to empty pumps we'd probably be able to handle the evening Rush a lot better what are you talking about nobody told me to do that Jack will you tone down a minute Don's making a good point it's worth considering from this meeting at The Filling Station you've learned two things to do at any meeting make your points persuasively and and politely the way Don did and listen with an open mind something Jack didn't do so we've seen listening and speaking on the job oh say Don you know Bill is taking his two weeks vacation and uh I think I'll give you a chance to run the shop what do you say sounds great Don's listening and speaking skills are helping him move ahead these skills are so important that they may cause you problems if you don't use them well hey Frank said you told him to put that dirt back in the hole no I didn't Prim took me you can develop and improve your listening and speaking skills on your job it just takes a little thought and [Music] practice 1972 had some awesome television programming so I don't know what that guy is talking about didn't have to be such a grous uh speaking of which uh I have been uh going through and uh looking at comments that have been held for review uh people have been saying like you're blocking me like I don't see any of my comments and I'm like what what are you talking about so I go look and there's this new tab called held for review and there's a bunch of innocuous messages in there um so YouTube does sometimes go in and just says like yeah I don't know this is kind of iffy so I apologize if you got caught in that uh it happens and you have to maintain it but also I found in there some people just hate me like really are mad at what I do like why are you know you're putting up these crappy films and blah blah you know I was like dude don't watch you don't have to watch and they're like I don't know why I subscribed to this I'm like well then unsubscribe I'm I'm sorry you this is what it is this is what we do um I get it not everybody likes what I do I'm not going to be offended by that but like don't be so mad um you know if you don't like what you see there's literally hundreds of millions of other choices um so anyways uh I behind me I have a film scanner uh where I'm going to show you a film that you know somebody out there is going to hate so it's kind of the nature of it and I appreciate those who don't hate what I do and I appreciate those who do appreciate even when a film is not great and you guys acknowledge it's not great it's uh it's good uh let me change the name of it so there's a bunch of uh uh films that I have about things that are found in a wood shop or a mechanics shop uh description of different tools and here is one such uh film this is the combination Square enjoy [Music] man is a builder with a natural desire and an inborn knack for putting things together early in life we find out there are a lot of problems in putting things together right the pieces don't always fit the way we'd like them to takes practice and training before too long we find out about square corners angles and miters curves and circles and we discover the tools for making sure that the pieces fit together the way they should perhaps the most versatile and useful of these tools is the combination square with this single allpurpose tool we can lay out out and check square corners and Joints or find the center of circles and cylinders within the limits of its size its shape and its accuracy the combination Square can be used for almost every type of exact measurement the combination square is basically a specialized development of the elementary steel scale and consists of a specially designed blade and three removable adjustable heads the tri square head the protractor head and the center head the blade of a good quality combination square has an easyto read non-glare satin finish it comes in a variety of lengths and is marked off in inches and fractions of an inch like a standard Steel scale each edge of the blade is graduated to a different degree of accuracy on this side e and 16 and on the other side 30 seconds and 64ths the center slot in the blade serves as a track for the heads each of the heads contains a bolt assembly which acts as a guide for the blade blade when the blade is reversed the bolt assembly must also be reversed the heads are locked on the blade by tightening this locking nut the Bold assembly in each of the heads works in the same way it's shown here with the center head the most commonly used head attachment is the tri square with its 90° Square Face it's 45 degree miter face and the handy scriber for marking off layouts to fit the head attachment and blade together simply loosen the Locking nut and Slide the head onto the blade the tongue on the Locking bolt fits into the slot on the blade if the head doesn't slide on the blade easily don't try to force it check the alignment of the tongue and the slot when the parts are properly lined up they fit together easily the Locking bolt is reversible that is it can be rotated from one side to the other without removing it from the head this means that the blade can be easily reversed without having to remove the Locking nut and bolt and this is a handy feature for changing from one graduation scale to another say from the 16th scale to the 32nd scale the other heads fit onto the blade in the same fashion as the square head let's look at that again this time with a protractor head loosen the nut slide on the head lock it in place with the protractor head you can set any angle from 0 to 180° for laying out work or for measuring or checking angles with a locking not loosened the face is free to rotate to select an angle say 32° loosen the Locking nut and rotate the revolving turret until the index Mark is lined up with the second Mark past the the 30 that's 30 31 32° now hold the face steady and secure the head with a locking nut and check the reading to make sure it's right after you tighten down with the protractor head set to 32° you have set in a 32° angle between the edge of the blade and the face of the protractor head you can also get a 32° angle in the other direction by turning the tool over the angle Remains the Same in addition to the 32° angle formed here the angle formed here is equal to 148° the difference between 180° the full half circle and the 32° angle set in here most protractor heads are provided with a second set of reverse degree markings to identify this second angle called the supplementary angle any two angles which add up to 180° are called supplements and each time an angle is set in on the protractor head two angles are formed the angle you set in and the supplementary angle most commonly protractor heads have a scale marked off in steps of of one degree with identifying numbers every 10° and a longer Mark to identify the 5 Dee point between numbers let's take the accessory heads for the combination square one at a time the tri square head the protractor head and the center head and see how they are used to make actual measurements the head you will use most often for most things is the tri square head to lay out square corners the face of the head is placed firmly against the work the blade forms a square line to the face and the scriber is used to Mark the layout the square head is also useful in checking the tress of square corner joints especially where proper fit is important you can use your square head to be sure the pieces will fit before they are put together here is another example of how the square head is used to check work in progress here a Craftsman uses the combination Square to check this Square joint before he joins the metal he makes the necessary Corrections clamps the work down and he's ready to go after the joint is complete completed he uses the square again to make sure everything came out all right let's take a look at this small assembly project the drawing calls for these two pieces of sheet metal to be spot welded together we need a 1 and 1/2 in right angle Bend put in the vertical piece and then it is to be joined at right angles to the base exactly 2 and 38 in from the edge and parallel to the edge the first step is to check the square of the pieces and they're okay now he sets his combination Square for 1 and 1/2 in removes the scriber and moves the tool along the edge of the work to scribe a line parallel to the Edge and exactly 1 1/2 in from it this shows him where to make the right angle Bend and of course he checks the bend to make sure it's Square by scribing a line parallel to the edge and just 2 and 38 in from it he marks the point where the vertical wall is to be spot welded he checks to be sure the joint is square and that the vertical wall is properly spaced from the edge of the base piece and he clamps the pieces together ready for spot welding and here is the completed job exactly as specified the miter face of the tri square head is used exactly like the Square Face except it is used for measuring and marking 45° angles instead of 90° angles use it for laying out miter corners or for any application where a 45° angle is needed the center head fits onto the blade in the same fashion as the tri square head the faces of the center head hold the tool in position so that the blade edged passes through the center of the circle for a more exact location scribe the diameter and then move the tool to a new point on the circumference and Scribe a short mark across the diameter line where the lines cross is the true Center the technique is the same for cylindrical work position the faces of the head firmly on the circumference of the cylinder and Scribe the diameter move the tool to a new position and Scribe a cross line to find the center the protractor head functions as a more versatile and more exact variation of the miter face on the square head with a protractor head any angle from 0 to 180° can be set in for layout the desired angle in this case 50° is set in and the tool used describe the line as with a tri square head for measuring angles the Locking nut is loosened the edge of the blade is held firmly against one face of the angular work and the turret is rotated until the face of the protractor head is flush against the other face of the angle the setting is snugged up by tightening the Locking nut and the angle red from the protractor in this case 65° to transfer exact angular measurements combine the measuring and the layout technique measure the angle set the protractor and with the desired angle set in proceed to lay out an exact duplicate angle a number of pieces of work can be checked for accuracy by setting in the correct angle and using the preset tool as a measuring standard like all Precision Tools your combination Square will give you better measurements when you give the tool proper care just keep the blade and the heads clean and protect your tool from water and dampness which cause rust store it where it is protected from damage and handle it with reasonable care to keep from damaging or burring the surfaces this then is your combination Square the most allaround tool on your bench for layout use your combination Square to make perfect square corners or 45° mitered Corners a small spirit level mounted in the tri square head can be used to check surfaces for level to inspect measure or lay out any angles the protractor head is what you need use it to measure unknown angles or preset a known angle for layout or inspection remember that every time you set in an angle you also set in its supplement use the center head on circular flat work or cylindrical pieces find centers measure diameters do it all with one tool your combination Square [Music] an aircraft and Mell missile films production that's what is that that all about um that goes beyond the normal uh shop uh film that I thought this was this might be something that was made uh to be sold and shown in uh military industrial complexes um yeah I don't I don't know it's it's kind of strange it could also be that they were uh capitalizing on some grants uh able to get some money uh that were that was being dedicated towards uh science and development of missiles and air aircraft so who knows anyways uh I got a very nice thing in the mail from the kids and uh there is a drawing of me with nice anime eyes and uh um and I've got a box of films very excited next to Christmas tree and uh-oh I spilled some coffee that happens happens all the time so very excited there's Santa Claus uh and then it just says uh Merry Christmas congratulation on 1,000 shows uh thank you for all the content enjoy the cookies we made in school so it's very sweet um yeah those are the those folks um exciting exciting so let's see what what do I got I got so many things I can show you so many things um there's this series that we've been showing the world cultures and youth uh this one is Richard's totem pole Canada enjoy am we are [Applause] [Music] I think this one will do yep I think this one will make a good pull well this the one we're looking for my name is Richard Harris and I'm 16 years old I'm a gkas and Indian and my father Walter is a master totem pool Carver and a hereditary chief of our clan he's just been commissioned to carve a 30ft totem pool and he's asked me to [Music] [Applause] [Music] help [Music] I'd like to help my father and he's very pleased but I don't know if I'll be of much use I've never carved before in fact sometimes I feel more like a cowboy than like an Indian we live in in the west of Canada a large beautiful country where our people have been living for thousands of years my Village kispo has only 300 people and is half an hour north of Hazelton the nearest town here in the Rocky Mountains the rivers and Hills gave birth to trees now 4 to 500 years old that are perfect for totem poles although these old cedar trees are becoming scarce and we had to travel a 100 miles from our village to find one [Music] come back the [Music] top [Music] my father says that each totem pole tells a story and that nobody really knows how old the tradition is sometimes they're memorials to the dead and sometimes they express the feeling of our people that everything in nature is a different form of the same thing what is that bottom figure mean well it's uh the pool we're starting tomorrow will represent our G people in the collection of the University of British Columbia my father says he wants me to carve my own Crest on the pole I didn't even know I had a Crest he says it's both a spirit power symbol and a hereditary family emblem he doesn't know mine since it's passed down through the mother's side and I should ask her about my Crest when she comes back from Vancouver on the weekend the first step in making the pole is to strip the bark after which we'll square the [Music] [Music] log [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] beautiful finally with my brother Rod's help we shaped the front of the pool to prepare it for carvon dad says my grandmother and some Village Elders will be at the graveyard this afternoon and maybe they'll know about my [Music] [Music] crest [Music] the mil Queen the milk Sal Queen [Music] my grandfather was a leading gasan Chief and I don't know how long it's been since I last cleared the weeds from his grave Clara Harris is my dad's mother and though she's an expert on her family's crests she doesn't know about my mother's line neither do Mary and Moses who say that only my mother know for [Music] sure [Music] [Music] [Applause] morning this morning my dad said not to worry about my Crest he's sure my mother must know but I'm not sure if it'll help me find the spirit of my people's Traditions although we live in kiso we work in nearby cassand when my father was young the tribe had lost touch with its Traditions but by the 1960s there was a rebirth of culture among Indians all over North America it was then that our people built cassan as a traditional Village and a center for gassan [Music] Arts [Music] [Music] I decid to put a frog design the bottom the Frog Crest my father has decided to carve at the base of the pole represents the the largest gasan Clan above that the fire weed killer whale for Dad's own Clan then the mosquito and finally he's leaving space at the top for my Crest whatever it is I'll have to do a strong design people can feel because it'll be 30 ft above their [Music] heads once dad transfers the designs to the pole we'll rough it in with power tools and then Begin The [Applause] [Music] Carving I've always loved watching my father work he uses tools as beautifully and as easily as a painter uses a brush my father says our work is going well and soon he'll ask Chester to do a ceremonial grow dance to inaugurate the pole before the fine carving begins this afternoon I can catch some salmon for tomorrow's barbecue my mother will be home then and I'll be able to ask her about my [Music] crest [Music] [Music] there's a storm across the valley clouds are rolling in the afternoon was heavy on the soldier there's a truck the fling mile more away the whining of his wheel that makes them colder he an hour away from riding the on the road barely gone like a fire softly burning [Music] suffers it's alive my mom knows what my Crest is it's the white Running Wolf and she says it has a long and proud tradition she and Mary are very pleased I'm finally becoming interested in our ways but caution me that to carve it well I must really feel it Spirit back home [Music] [Music] again [Music] last night watching the dance I felt happy and later the design of my Crest came to me my Running Wolf will be mounted horizontally across the top of the pool my father thinks it's an excellent idea and I'm very excited about it [Music] my father says that in our Carvin we must find the spirit in the wood and give it expression and now as I carve I'm beginning to visualize the form my own Crest must take in just one week the pole must be finished I must start my Crest tomorrow if it's to be ready there'll be a big celebration at the University for the pole raisin and we're all going to be [Music] there [Music] finally my wolf Crest is beginning to take [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] shape you have to keep your just right angle dad makes all his own chisels and adses which are the chopping hatchets we use and he wants me to know how to keep them sharp so every cut will be clean and [Music] precise [Music] to be a really fine Carver there's so much to know my father has a feeling for wood that's taken him a lifetime to develop and it's wonderful to be learning from [Music] him [Music] today we're putting the finishing touches on the pool and on my Crest too and tomorrow the truck will be here to take it down to Vancouver for the pole raisin [Music] how'd you get [Music] the cheeseburgers couple of [Music] Milkshakes easy you get [Music] Ro [Music] fall [Music] [Music] the [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] h [Music] [Applause] your [Music] hands [Music] okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] the [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] on [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] what an exciting day when I look look at my Running Wolf at the top of the pole I feel like that wolf is part of me and when I put on the wolf mask I feel like I'm part of the wolf it feels like I'm beginning to understand how my people see the world [Music] n [Music] n [Music] la I can check that gear in a minute so don't touch anything [Music] okay hey get down from there [Music] now hey turn it over what if it bumped that control by accident you'd be minc meat by now what have I told you you don't work on equipment when the engine's running well I told him not to touch anything all right I guess I wasn't thinking you weren't thinking you mean you work on engines and machinery and not think of your own personal safety here shake hands with danger shake hands with danger meet a man you ought to know I used to laugh at safety now they call me three finger [Music] Jo I was young and feisty never did things by the book just let me get my T box and I'll take myself a look I climbed up on a doer with my mechanic's Pride said you can keep it running friend while I poke around inside shake hands with danger meet a guy you want to know I used to laugh at safety now they call me three finger Joe although I learned a lesson I for watch it soon enough the Nicks and burns and scratches showed the young ones I was tough till another morning I was grinding on some steel my other hand got careless and fed my skin into the wheel shake hands with danger step right up and say hello grinding wheels in metal are what made me three finger jaill I've seen mechanics burning and I've seen them take a fall just to save themselves a minute I've seen them lose it all I've watched them courting trouble seen them take a chance and lose they get careless for a moment and spend a lifetime with the [Music] Blues [Applause] [Music] sh she can with [Music] danger [Music] she she she can't around inside [Music] around [Music] [Music] ins shake hands with danger around inside [Music] shake hands with danger and some friends I Used to Know compared to them I'm lucky to be just three finger [Music] Joe um so of course there were two separate films that dealt with heavy equipment and I'm like well duh I have to show shake hands with danger the remix uh so yeah some of you called it you knew as soon as you saw it and heard the beep beep beep you knew what was going on uh thank you so much for tuning in today I very much appreciate your eyeballs and your comments um and uh ziman said something that we heard in a film and I wrote down and this is the immortal words of Michael Landon on the national kids quiz uh remember to love each other and listen to each other and uh that sounds like great words uh thanks and we will see you tomorrow uh this is episode 998 uh tomorrow is 999 uh then Wednesday is a thousand but we're not really going to celebrate I mean we'll say that it's a thousand but we're going to celebrate it on Saturday when we make um we do a thousand minute show and that will be um from 9:00 a.m. eastern standard time to probably like 2 or 230 or something like that um and that's going to be the big marathon on Saturday so um if I can't see you tomorrow hopefully I will see you later this week and hopefully um you'll join us on Saturday everybody take care have a great rest of your day bye
