This guy puttered into the marina yesterday. I don’t know what he does with it but I now know that’s what I want to do when I retire.

I've seen rigs like that used to retrieve logs from waterways. Probably not what that one is but they look similar.

i commuted into clemson for 6 months long ago. i remember seeing tiger paws on the state highway between Easley and Clemson. figured they were still there. appears not, so I guess that's why you had to ask the question

UPDATE regarding tiger paws on the roads​ Oct 26, 2011, 10:13 PM

There was some discussion about this on Monday, and I emailed Governor Haley's office about this issue. Unfortunately, they got in touch with DOT, and the answer was not good. It looks like this tradition may die unfortunately unless a group does some "unauthorized" painting. What a shame. Dear Mr. Williams: I was asked by Governor Haley's office to respond to you concerning the request to paint Tiger Paws on US 123 between Easley and Clemson after the recent resurfacing project completed in that area. I am the District Engineering Administrator for the Upstate area and am responsible for SCDOT's highways in this region. I regret to inform you that we cannot allow the painting of Tiger paws on the highways on US 123 or anywhere on the state highway system. We cannot allow for the installation or painting of anything that is not approved by our SC Manual for Traffic Control Devices. When non approved items are installed in the rights of way, it tends to distract drivers and can cause a safety concern. To my knowledge, SCDOT has never allowed the placement of the Tiger paws in the past but they were painted without our knowledge or consent. As a fellow graduate from Clemson University and a current Clemson Dad,it is difficult to pass this along to you but we must abide by all the federal guidelines with regard to traffic control devices. I trust you understand our position in this matter. Sincerely, Steven W. Gwinn SCDOT District Engineering Administrator

As someone who lives in Easley and has 2 projects going on in Clemson, rumors of the demise of the paws is greatly exagerated.
The paws remain to this day on both 123 (Easley and Clemson) and 76 (Anderson and Clemson)

Thanks for the update/clarification. I had a job at Big A$$ String Factory (BASF) in Clemson and was commuting from the coast. My first drive into Clemson, I saw my first tiger paw, then my second and was like W T F ? ? ? After living and working in the Clemson area for 3+ years, I get it. Best time there was seeing Living Colour open for the Rolling Stones at Death Valley.

I believe that's a cross-stitch weld if I remember my metal shop class training in high school....should not be confused with a stitch weld

Hope they're well versed in rural hitch ops and portaponds. If they weren't, I bet they are now!

I'm sure it could have multiple uses but when docks are getting built on Mountain Island Lake where I live, those contraptions are used to place the gangways between the pier and floating dock.

Once Jody gets rid of the srt, I know where his money’s going

My neighbor (who passed away a few years ago) was born in the 1920s and was an auto and aircraft mechanic and master tinkerer, one of those people who could fix everything, and never threw away anything of value. I’m cleaning out his garage now that his kids have gotten what they wanted, and I’m pretty stoked about these two pieces of furniture:
Not just 2 layers...

That's a QUAD LAYER screwjar cabinet!

And then 10ft away is this beauty!

I may never have to buy a "normal" sized nut/bolt/washer again!
