Worked in construction 25 years and thats the first time I saw the seismic test and I must say that was a good one there. Kids a freaking worker, looks like yall might have a good one there. Stay safe!!
This made me think back to the day when I was young and it was my first day at work at a cabinet shop. They gave me a Styrofoam cup and told me to go to the other warehouse and get some acetone. I was told "acetone is really expensive so do not spill any of it". I made it about 10 feet before the acetone ate right through the bottom of the cup. There wasn't a person there who hadn't been pranked the same way. I was frightened when it happened but have laughed about it every since. I'm old and fat now. I couldn't swing that sledge hammer three times like this kid can.
I've been in construction many yrs! These things build character and prove a young man's trust in authority at the same time turning that switch on in his mind to make mature decisions in the work place. He'll one day look back and have a good laugh and have the co-workers confidence he will perform his best whatever is needed!
And for those who cry mistreatment or what have you, there's nothing hurtful here... Just a little bit of making-fun-of-the-newbie type of thing.. The guy is not hurt, there was no sticky-smelly-greasy-icky shit poured on him and what not (I HATE that!), they just pulled his leg a little.. Good humour... He probably had a good laugh with them after and did it himself to the next newbie...
@@n64ow16 oh ya the guy was sent to a machine shop the owner manager was a 79 year old woman and hw walked right up to her and asked her for it she looked at him and said what? She told him what it was and he got so pissed off he quit his job. Couldn't take a joke I guess.
A bucket of steam, anyone? Or a can of striped paint -but did you want red and white or blue and white? My favourite was always a new salmon fart for a spirit level.
I used to work in different industries , once they sent me a young guy with a huge cart with an empty 55 gallons tank asking for " sparks for the angle grinders " Some traditions, never die ! Cheers !
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! At least he was doing what he was told to do. No questions, I got sent to an auto body shop looking for a door stretcher, they said they were fresh out. Off to Napa I go, older guy behind the counter asked me what colour? I just stood there, then he burst out laughing saying someone pulled a fast one on me. He asked where I went and what happened, so I told him and he turned bright red and almost passed out from laughing so hard. I was a 20 year old HD mechanic apprentice. I was embarrassed and choked! Haha
Props to the kid, he was accurate with his swings and was going quickly. There are fewer and fewer young people entering the trades these days; most of the ones who do aren't worth anything. This one seems to be an exception. I hope he gets a good mentor to help him develop.
Again -I am here.....if only one of you could see me laugh....I am in tears......this is so absolutely hilarious......reminds me to the stuff we do with our trainees...... Recently we sent our new trainee to the gas station to get "high duty green gear box sand " he called back and said " they only have yellow gear box sand..." (the guy from the gas station knows our jokes...) we were lying on the floor with laughter.......
a hell of a worker??? Hes hitting the ground with a sledge in a circular pattern to generate voltage. If hes that stupid you need to fire him because hes going to walk out into traffic.
I remember my old boss sending me down to the foreman for a box of rubber nails and a bucket of steam. He just laughed in my face. Sure I was a bit embarrassed at the time but I could still laugh at it and now hold those days very fondly.
Pretty harsh words. He's a great kid. You don't find too many 19 yr. old kids that work like he does nowadays. Work with you any day of the week Mowgli!
Relax people this type of treatment only last a little while and the kid that goes through it in good spirits gets rewarded. Yeah you may not see respect as a reward but from guys like them it means alot.
maybe for the next prank, the electrical foreman and the cameraman should put their empty skulls on the ground and see how quickly the kid can smash them with that sledgehammer. now that would be funny! 😆😆😆👍👍
dbtwiztid it has to do with piezoelectric methods of creating electricity. you see, the natural quartz in the soil is compressed and vibrated by the strikes of the hammer. this causes voltage to be induced into the ground. since the new electrical system will be grounded in that area, and since electricity only works when there is a DIFFERENCE of potential (meaning that if you have the same voltage on hot and neutral, nothing will work) and since the neutral will be bonded at the first point of disconnect, any voltage naturally induced in that area by the weight and vibrations of building and its subsystems will be transferred to the neutral bar. If this natural voltage is too high, this can cause problems with sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. we must ensure that we don't drive the ground bar within six feet of an area that has too high of a natural quartz content. this is how we check for this. Afterward, I'll need the wire stretcher and a skyhook. oh, and hurry the fuck up.
Hahaha that's awesome. Reminds me of the time I sent a first year electrical helper to find our wire stretcher. He ended up spending an hour running around the job, asking foremen and AJs, who eventually sent him to the head foreman, who told him to ask the superintendent (who just happened to be there) who sent him to Home Depot with a company credit card. Then he spent an hour at Home Depot, apparently running around, asking people about it, until one of the employees there who had heard a prank like that before told him what was up and he came back. I bought him lunch that day; he laughed and laughed about it.
We sent one apprentice to the stores for a "long weight". He didn't come back for over an hour, it was great, the store man had told him to sit down while he got it for him, after an hour he said ok lad, was that wait long enough or do you want a longer one.
When I was first day apprentice they tried everything.. wire stretcher reverse screwdriver left handed hammer even a stupid test like this one.. good thing I brushed up on this stuff beforehand hahaha
Very funny! We've all been on both sides of the job site pranks. It's a right of passage. I expected you to tell the kid after his second time around, "Ohh s#@t, I forgot to turn it on. . . sorry." LOL
steve b You caught me. I've been trying to hide the fact that I'm a dumbass for years, but being the genius you are, you caught my mistake and discovered the truth. The sad thing is that where I attended school in sw missouri, the teacher probably taught us the incorrect use of "rite" and "right".
nobody's making fun of him as a union electrician for the past 10 years not of us don't go to college so this is kinda our way to do frat things it's a right of passage that kid is respected now he did what they asked no problem.. it's when they don't fuck with you that nobody likes you
People don’t realize how hard construction work is. I worked for a qc testing firm for years. These guys get up early and get home late. They stay in the heat all day and work their ass off beyond the comprehension of most people. They deal with all of life’s problems all the while, in stride, while most people give them little respect. These people are tough.
Yeah, I know right. Pretending to think the people that don't have to exert themselves physically for a mundane job with mundane pay couldn't understand the things included with that mundane job sure does make me feel better about my mundane life. I mean unless you have annihilated a billion braincells throwing around a tool you could never understand such intricate humor and overwhelmingly complex social discourse.
Makro ..my first job out of school was on a construction site, the boss sent me down the hardware store with a spirit level to ask for a new bubble....and yes I done it!
People who find this harsh have never had a manual job . This is like a right of passage. One day it will be that kid putting some youngster through his paces ! I would love that kid working for me .
This reminds me of that time I was working in the shipping department and a coworker couldn't get her entire order to fit into the box. I told her to go to the maintenance office to get our box stretcher back. She went and the maintenance guy told her the receiving department had it. She went there and of course they had no idea what she was talking about.
Hahaha. Ball buster. Good job. That kid is a willing worker and pretty good aim with the sledge, just needs to smarten up a bit. I'm sure you'll take care of that for him. You better hope you don't wind up working for HIM one day. LOL.
Reminds me of my pre-apprentice carpentry course, a five month program. At the end, we were out in the yard dismantling some sheds and sent one of the others to go to the tool crib to get the sky-hook so we can lift the roof off. He asked how it works..well, first you make sure there are no obstacles in the way, have an escape route planned, tie a bowline shackle splice onto the ridge beam and hook the other end up there (pointing to the sky) and get the operator to do the lift... He almost made it all the way to the crib when he finally realized he’d been had! He took a labourer job at a smelter. He is long since retired. Full pension. Travelling the world... And we are still in construction... He who laughs last, laughs best!
My pipe fitting foreman said he wanted all the copper pipe in a room to be cleaned with wire wool. He said it had to be mirror finished. He came back about 4 hours later and all the pipes were gleaming and shiny like polished within an inch of life. 😂 They all nearly died with laughter. I just did as I was told and got on with it 😂 Still makes me chuckle to this day.
haha that prank was good, remeber when i was 16 and they told me to go look for a left handed hammer, stood like a moron and compared the hammers. untill i finnaly realised it was a prank haha
I bet his girlfriend appreciates that stamina! That a boy! that's a good way to get in with the fellas. Keep working that hard and you'll make foreman.
This is not cruelty, this is how men function on the job. The older guys take the boys under their wing and teach them a skill and as a price for this education the older guys will prank them from time to time. This is how young boys earn their place amongst men.
That was mean as hell but we all went through this at one time or another when we was young by the older guy’s. I have busted a gut watching this laughing so hard. Lol
Good to see a nice high quality FLUKE meter being used to such a test. The lack of high quality meters I have seen being used for these tests in person has been quite depressing as of late. It is awesome to see a fluke meter being used as this well of course provide the most accurate read out compared to other brand multimeter equipment.
Brilliant stuff..good skills by the young lad though and stuff like that bonds a team together and puts him into the food chain knowing he below them for now but we got your back and your part of the team..awesome shit man
When building the Melha Shriners Hospital in Spfld, Ma back in the late 80's, there was a pretty rainy day and one of the Union Carpenters had a laborer named Tony go to the the tool trailer to get "the big bottle of dry air"....lol he was in there looking for quite some time before somebody finally gave up the gig....!Ahhh...the good ole days. This kid looks like a heck of worker though, keep up the good work kid!
u know, even though it was a prank, I admire that kids heart and work ethic. I work with a bunch of lazy fucks that woulda told me to do it myself and quit. props to this guy!!
+Rye Lischewski It's between 2.5-3.5 volts in Canada, but here in the US it's 2.75 to 3.25 volts. We only have .5 volts of range here because we use more accurate hammers here.
We did a "boom check" on our new LT when i was in the Army. We had him yell "BOOM" into the howitzer barrel as loud as he could so we could get a reading on what was only some gauges for the hydraulics lmao. Dude was not happy when he found out we were fucking with him
Haven't we all been there and done that...........brings back memories....my test was much easier though........going after some striped paint or something stupid like that if I recollect. Good for the new guy to get some of this and good for everyone else to too....
Rob Bob, I have a really nice, 1st generation, 1920's, German made board stretcher that I inherited from my Grandfather, one of my most cherished woodworking tools, it will get you longer Wood anytime, anywhere. LMAO
As a young man I was privileged with a very nice body, I was built well and strong. My first day on the construction site, after meeting crew, some guy says pick that box up and put it on that second floor landing. No steps yet, a ladder was the way up. I went to pick up the box and realized I was being tested, it was very heavy. Full box of aluminum 3' coil. It was tough, but, I threw it over my shoulder and went up the ladder, setting it down on the landing. I climbed back down, looking at some very surprised faces. Guy looks at others and says, he's on my crew. 👍🤣
One day we got a new cook who was an asshole. When it was time to close, a guy told him he had to empty the water from the big coffee machine. 15 minutes into filling cups and dumping them in the sink, he told him it was hooked up the the water line. I'm laughing about it while typing this, it's still that funny!
I love the limber up exercises. AND the orange dots were painted with spotted paint and the Eleco hung his multimeter on a Sky Hook bolted there with a Metric Shifting Spanner ... ...
I thought he would fall or they would make something shake but this young pup is slaying this test with his maul. GG WP potg. We need to check the seismic activity, pulls out an Electric Volt Meter...
Worked in construction 25 years and thats the first time I saw the seismic test and I must say that was a good one there. Kids a freaking worker, looks like yall might have a good one there. Stay safe!!

And he will play exactly the same pranks on the next generation!
This guy is quick and precise with his sledgehammer, gotta admit... And I wish I still had his stamina!
And for those who cry mistreatment or what have you, there's nothing hurtful here... Just a little bit of making-fun-of-the-newbie type of thing..

thats what she said
MrBusDrivr yeah he was spot on each dot
MrBusDrivr It's not making fun, it's testing his Accuracy and Stamina. What a bunch of clowns. They want to see if he's good enough
Id be spent after the first round. This is for the young.
That's almost as good as sending the trainee to the machine shop for 3 inches of fallopian tube.
lol no ones ever fallen for that... right?

dont be mad.. he will swap that sledge hammer for a voltmeter of his own one day
As a victim of this same prank when I worked as a roughneck, I approve

I wouldn't worry about it. Plenty of hungry migrants to fill those spots.
Yes. He showed up even!
Yep he's a keeper.!
He would have been a keeper if he didn't f#@k up his back while doing this

Am I the only one who thought he was going to fall through like in the cartoons?
I did lol
i thought it was going to explode
Also thought that.
No he would have stayed there and everything else would have dropped away. ;)
William Craver yes that would of made the video better
Lmao well damn just by those swings I can tell hes a hell of a worker honestly .
Esoj777 ! So accurate too.
Fuckin a
fact
a hell of a worker??? Hes hitting the ground with a sledge in a circular pattern to generate voltage. If hes that stupid you need to fire him because hes going to walk out into traffic.

great one guys gotta good one there

Not really. Most of his strikes the head was sideways

Holy crap! A kid willing to work like that is rare these days. Apologies, I meant young Man.
I'll have this guy on my job site any day, the prank is funny as hell but this is the kind of guy you can count on.
That kid must have good parents. He realy respects those guy's.
The lads wielding that sledge like a boss!!!
Yes he is :) he can swing a hammer alright.
i was thinking the same thing
People who find this harsh have never had a manual job . This is like a right of passage. One day it will be that kid putting some youngster through his paces ! I would love that kid working for me .
Yes I would love a kid like that too but that's hash
Debunked.
one of the best I've seen, he's a strong kid, he'll do well, great prank, no one gets hurt, lmao
accurate too!

now he deserves a break and some decent food, payed for by his boss
You must have never been an apprentice or work in the trades.
EDDIE BEE kids now a days need a fucking safe spot so no one is mean to them and they dont have to use their domes. fuck im only 19 and I know better.
Hell Na!!! Tell that boy to get his ass back to work, he got a break when he got the job!!!
He gets those already, it's called lunch time.
Yeah that kid is buying lunch for the crew.

Ironworkers always send apprentices around the job looking for skyhooks
I bet his girlfriend appreciates that stamina! That a boy! that's a good way to get in with the fellas. Keep working that hard and you'll make foreman.

The kids strong for sure. Good to see him working his ass off.
Damn! He can definitely swing that sledgehammer with precision!
He did his damndest! 😃
While it's fucking hilarious, I think what most people seem to be left with is his work ethic. I probably would have fallen for it too.
HatsTour Well spoken brother. If the boss told me to do it I'd do it too. Get a lot of dumb dumbs actin like they wouldn't fall for it but they would.
As a worker, I’ve been there...
Go ask him to find the board stretcher out of the job box, that’ll keep someone busy 👌
Deserved a beer after that! Practical jokes like that built strong teams and respect. No harm done
That was mean as hell but we all went through this at one time or another when we was young by the older guy’s. I have busted a gut watching this laughing so hard. Lol
I'm laughing my ass off I'm crying tears this is hilarious like it says poor guy nowadays they call it hazing thanks for the video made my day

when i first hit the site i was told to shake the power out of the leads befor i rolled em up.......
lol serious
So funny!! I almost pissed myself,that young man can really rock a sledge!!!
I like that kid he believes in something more than what he understands.keep a swinging your awesome
He's good with that sledgehammer!
What's the acceptable volt rating for this seismic test? 😉
+Rye Lischewski It's between 2.5-3.5 volts in Canada, but here in the US it's 2.75 to 3.25 volts. We only have .5 volts of range here because we use more accurate hammers here.
+Chris McDonald probably because we use the metric system.
+Rye Lischewski yeah if that's a metric hammer that would explain it
Metric hammer?? HAH Imperial hammers ar better.
Rye Lischewski ..... im in the solar industry... i sent 1 of our new recruits to go get the wood magnet ! he went for ages looking 😂
We did a "boom check" on our new LT when i was in the Army. We had him yell "BOOM" into the howitzer barrel as loud as he could so we could get a reading on what was only some gauges for the hydraulics lmao. Dude was not happy when he found out we were fucking with him
omg .good job guys you got a smile out of me for sure ....but hey that boy gets that sledge pounding huh !!!keep him around .good work !!!😂😂😂
Hahaha nice job guys! Welcome to the world of blue collar labor!
Haven't we all been there and done that...........brings back memories....my test was much easier though........going after some striped paint or something stupid like that if I recollect. Good for the new guy to get some of this and good for everyone else to too....

once in shopclass I was sent to fetch a drilled hole for a piece of half inch steel...
Mats Granqvist at least that one is possible
As a young man I was privileged with a very nice body, I was built well and strong. My first day on the construction site, after meeting crew, some guy says pick that box up and put it on that second floor landing. No steps yet, a ladder was the way up. I went to pick up the box and realized I was being tested, it was very heavy. Full box of aluminum 3' coil. It was tough, but, I threw it over my shoulder and went up the ladder, setting it down on the landing. I climbed back down, looking at some very surprised faces. Guy looks at others and says, he's on my crew. 👍🤣
Much respect to the young fella. Them boys might be having a laugh at him, but he just absolutely gained their respect also.... Hard worker!!!
that is one hell of an elaborate prank, I can't someone would fall for this
LMAO volt reader should of been his first clue! 😂😂😂 Good clean fun! 👍👍
The camera shoulda been the clue
I bet he has the abs of steel!
Grill Wasabi Sushi Channel Abs of steel brains of nil !!! Notta!!!! What a dumb ass!
Well, he has now! :¬)
Soup Nazi definitely works your abs lol
That degree of accuracy combined with that speed and force....that kid is fucking SHREDDED
Yeah I still remember looking for that damn glass bender! Never did find it! !!
This guy did great! what a good worker in good faith, but i dont get what the prank is.
The prank is that you cannot, I repeat cannot, detect vibration in the the ground with a voltmeter. Do not try this ok.
How do you not get what the prank is? That just boggles my mind on so many levels!
+Jeffrey Lebowski not everyone has experience in any type of manual trade
Is that a requirement to understand the joke?
+Jeffrey Lebowski um yes if the knowledge to understand the joke comes with experience
HaHa volt meter!!!Faster Faster
This guys a fucking beast... anyone who says otherwise has never touched a sledge.
"Take a breather. Just one sec"
*lights a cig*
I remember getting sent for a can of compression when I was an apprentice. Lol, a bucket of ohms is always a good prank.
lol days like this I miss I had a dude who's green trying to push start a deck saw.
One day we got a new cook who was an asshole. When it was time to close, a guy told him he had to empty the water from the big coffee machine. 15 minutes into filling cups and dumping them in the sink, he told him it was hooked up the the water line. I'm laughing about it while typing this, it's still that funny!
Omg this is fucking hilarious
wack a mole
Aaaaaawwwww! That's so mean and cruel! We need a safe space for young construction workers! ASAP!
😅
I love the limber up exercises.
AND the orange dots were painted with spotted paint and the Eleco hung his multimeter on a Sky Hook bolted there with a Metric Shifting Spanner ... ...

A degree to make less? Lol no thanks.
Bruh the way this guy hammers the floor so fast and hard impresses me
Dude was dead on with his hits! Great work ethic buddy!!
To be fair, you got to admire how powerful, fast, and accurate he was swinging the sledge the first time around.😮
Say what you want, if you were to even pick up a sledgehammer, you would probably fall on your face so props to this guy.
Goes Hulk for about 3 seconds and slows down lol 😂 oooo man gotta love new gofers lol
Strong dude with a great attitude!
I thought he would fall or they would make something shake but this young pup is slaying this test with his maul. GG WP potg.
We need to check the seismic activity, pulls out an Electric Volt Meter...
That young guy is strong. Admirable.
