Watching this guy is really addictive. His profession was a steeplejack. he climbed and repaired steeples and huge smokestacks. He hand built several steam engines but he was best known for knocking down old smokestacks in Britain. He'd hack away at the bricks and notch the stack like cutting a tree. He'd prop them up with poles then light a big fire. When the fire burned through the poles, down it would come.
"Did ya like that!?" was his famous saying after knocking down a huge smokestack and almost being crushed by it.
"They always ask, 'have you ever fallen off one?' Well no! You only fall once and then you spend half a day with the undertaker!"
