[VIDEO] Carpenter Pulls the Ole “Staple in my Finger” Prank, Takes Guy Forever to Realize it

Construction work is serious stuff, injuries happen all the time and safety awareness is key.  That being said, an occasional prank is a fun way to bring some levity to the job site, especially when you get a great reaction from your coworker.  Last year, we shared a video of a couple construction workers pranking an unsuspecting newcomer by making him swing a sledge hammer in a circle for several minutes to test a seismic reading, which you can watch here.  

The video below is from carpenter Jason Wolfe, who tricks his cowoker, Tyler, into think he had shot a staple straight though his finger.  As Wolfe is instructing Tyler how to remove the staple from his finger, he pulls his hand away and points at the correct spot. Poor Tyler had no idea what was happening and it was hilarious.

Check out the video below:

[VIDEO] The Leaning Tower of Dallas is Dead. Long Live the Leaning Tower of Dallas.
Mar 6, 2020

A couple of weeks ago, we followed the very amusing story of the Leaning Tower of Dallas. For those unfamiliar, it all started as an innocent attempt at a building implosion, but ended up becoming an internet meme, a tourism landmark, and the subject of a petition to turn it into a monument. Well, the big joke is over, as what remained of the tower has finally fallen.

[VIDEO] Implosion Fails to Bring Down Dallas High Rise, Dubbed ‘Leaning Tower of Dallas’
Feb 19, 2020

Crowds typically swarm to the site of a building implosion; it can be more exciting than a firework show. Sometimes, though, spectators get the thrill of seeing the process not go quite as planned. Dallas residents got tat thrill over the weekend, when an implosion of a high-rise building in Uptown Dallas refused to come all the way down.

[VIDEO] A Horse Had to Be Lifted Out of a Construction Trench by a Helicopter
May 11, 2018

It’s a tale (tail) as old as time: a horse walks into a construction trench, gets stuck, has to be lifted out of it by a helicopter.  The trench didn’t appear to be that deep, so I don’t think OSHA is going to need to get involved with this one.

[VIDEO] Silo Demolition Goes Opposite Way and Lands on Adjacent Building
Apr 17, 2018

Demolitions by implosion seems like the easiest way to knock down a structure, but there is so much preparation that goes into it that even the slightest mistake can have a huge impact.  When smokestacks are demolished correctly, it can be a thing of beauty, like when these two silos in Scotland hit each other midair or when this asbestos filled stack was precisely demolished to fall into a pool of water. Things didn’t go so smoothly for demolition crews in Denmark last week, however.

Construction Worker Channels His Inner Eminem to Deliver a Rap About Jobsite Safety
Aug 18, 2017

Tool box safety talks are super important, but sometimes they can be pretty dry.  In order to keep people engaged and committed to jobsite safety, sometimes you have to mix it up a little bit. A construction company in New Zealand has an aspiring rapper on their team and they decided to enlist his help for a safety talk and it’s pretty entertaining. This company isn’t the first company to use rap music to send a message, as Caterpillar also released a rap about their bulldozers.
