Small scale with the right crew makes money

i worked for 2 different mining companies 1 large and the 2nd small both paid quite well being in central victoria, at the airleg mine rate of pay for a capable air legger starts at $55ph and ranges up to $75ph for a 12hr and 7day roster but it is some of the most ball breaking work i have ever done i spent a lot of my coin on physio (id like to say women but that would be a lie)..... 8.(
Bigsam would know why the airleg is named a sh#t stick im guessing youve had to pin down a few rigs in your time.....

Ohhhh yes, certainly have mate, bored pins by hand as well (not protocol) and they are heavy and bloody awkward, you would have battered your body air legging all day mate! Most I have bored with a long steel about 1m up from the face for some flat holes...drilled a full programme of pins (around 12) and it takes it out of you!
