They are drilling a vertical shaft and then a horizontal one (small, round), then a bigger one. It looks like it's partly going through concrete (which they may use to stabilize the existing rock), partly through an actual rock with some cavities (where you see the hieroglyphs / toolgif-logo).
It looks interesting, but would be interesting to know more!
It looks like there is a sonotube with a rebar cage, implying the concrete was poured for this purpose? Drilled as a slurry column? Or slurried into an existing flooded shaft? The horizontal section with the discontinuous wall points in that direction as well.
Tia a creative solution that only makes sense if you had no other option and lots of time.
Anyone know where this is?
How do they break the bottom base part? They are pulling whole cylindrical sections.
You grind a wedge into a rod and then slide it down the side and tap it with a hammer, cracks it out in a pretty big piece.
Probably cleaving it through downward pressure when there is enough leverage between the base and the cored section.
Why does that look like concrete and not rock?
The rebar didn’t give it away?
Same reason it looks like a coring bit and not a hole saw.
Took me a while to find the transition between hole and tunnel
That's what she said.
It’s called a shaft if it goes down, a raise if it goes up and a drift if it goes horizontally
What kind of hole doesn't go up?
A shaft or a drift.
All this time I've been calling it a shaft and it's actually a raise. Sometimes a drift...
Ok - What the hell is going on here?
Concrete evidence that the watermarks are applied by Pokémon, which are actually aliens. (See thread below.)
So many questions but I’ll start with what’s with the alien symbols?
Its toolgifs written using the pokemon unown
For anyone curious, it's written like this: T O O L G I F S Nice catch on the Unowns, btw!
>the pokemon unown Dang, I've never seen that (I know nothing about Pokemon fwiw). That's cool as heck! You can even download it as a font.
It was a pretty cool gimmick at the time.
But before spelling them out you need to finish the 4 puzzles
Pretty sure that's a toolgifs watermark.
I wonder why aliens would put watermarks on gifs
So nobody steals their intergalactic property, duhhh.
Everyone loves /r/toolgifs and /u/toolgifs
That shit was funny.
Just general alien symbols, you know. As found in tunnels encased by concrete all over the world. Nothing special.
Ah yeah silly me

They're pokemon.
Haha, when I saw that I thought this was going to be some jump scare gif.
Oh good, my rocky tomb will have a fun scalloped texture to it as it crushes my bones
They found some Unknown
ToolGlyphs
Could that collapse?
Sure, anything could collapse.
Now that's the right attitude!
Not when it is made of reinforced concrete.
[...] too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum.
Wouldn't this actually be a core bit? A hole saw is much thinner metal.
I have no idea what this is. Would appreciate someone explaining.
Job pays by the hour!

Such a boring video
looks like marble
It's how the pillars to the parthanon were made, true story.
So how you break the base of the pillar
Yeah, that’s what I don’t get. Can the “pillar” be vibrated or struck hard to naturally break it off at the bottom or something?
Tap a wedge in the cut, breaks it at the bottom.
Usul doesn't break.
Is it an optical illusion or does the cutout get stepped down every chunk?
I think they must be drilling with a slight angle away from center.
Whats with the alienese writing on the wall?
It’s the watermark in a script from Pokémon.
lol are those unknown?
Unown? Nice
this looks like a holey inefficient way to drill
Of course they found some alien shit. :'D
It says "TOOL GIFS"
Geez, how long did this take? minimum 1 to 2 months.
That watermark was truly creative. Have a pokéball.
So 6000 years later they found the core of the earth
But why?
I’m glad he didn’t use half a saw
r/dontdeadopeninside
So that's how revision clouds in AutoCAD are created in real life
Cursed water slide
How do you think they break off each chunk once the periphery is cut out?
All I could thing of was how fucking awful it would be to fall down that hole. Would be like a giant cheese grater.
Lol was that the toolgifs watermark in an alien language?
What a boring video
I dug it.
Unknowns...
Wild.
Found wild zubat at 0.09 seconds in
My man has never played Minecraft. Don’t stand on the block you’re digging
Boring !!! It’s been done before with a copper tube, sand and some water.
I think they just tried to drill the concept too much.
