Probably the most disturbing/sketchy/awful way to dismantle ANYTHING

My neighbor (scrappin partner time to time) Just stopped by. Yes, at 1 am. (i work mainly at night).

He said "look at this" so i walked over to his truck bed. In their i see a bucket, on that bucket, the lid said "Thermite". He had a bag full of magnesium bricks he bought at a sporting goods store.

He said, and i freaking quote: "I want to dismantle a series of washers and dryers. Old lady is gettin' tired of the clutter, so i gotta do it quick. Think this will work?"

I live 2 houses down from this guy....You can't fix stupid. Ya just cant.

Should get the job done.

lol oh man. Wonder if I'll get to see you on the news as one of the neighbors of "that guy".

not to mention probably one of the more expensive ways to disassemble something.

Get some pictures?

Maybe he's celebrating the 4th, scrapper style

He tried today. He couldnt get the magnesium hot enough to ignite the Thermite. Thank GOD.

Well, Hoss, if he's big and strong, I guess he's good to have around sometimes, just to help you with your big jobs. You'll just have to be the brains for two !!! Bless him....and his wife !

And his 3 kids....LOL. He's a skinny fella, but i tell ya what this guy can lift some things i cant, an i been a ranch grunt all my life. He aint smart, at all. He was born n raised in a place called Pocatello here in ID. Its kinda an inside joke with people here. "He was raised in pokey" "ohhhh, that explains it then".

quick and easy way to ignite thermite is to use those magnesium christmas tree hanging sparklers. Only used them a few times when playing around with the stuff, but they've never failed me. If you want to make thermite pretty cheaply, you can buy the aluminum oxide at a sandblasting supply shop, and the iron oxide you can make by letting some nuts and bolts sit in a pan/jar/whatever of water to let them get really rusty, and then throw them in a little ball or tumbler mill.

yea making it is simple...but using it...takes a smart one..but hoss....IF he gets it to work.....video tape it...youtube it an send it into the insurance company so they KNOW it was NOT your FAULT.....this time lmao

I'm stayin as far away from him as i can! Haha. Told him today to sell that thermite for his own good. "Hell you never know when ya might need somethin like this"

I cant think of 1 time i've ever had the thought "Ya know, thermite might just be what im lookin for here"
