we are here with rabbi michael shatkin
custom area of builder across the united
states and beyond
we are here as we begin with success we
would like to
show our audience how a community area
is built
and what it looks like when you come
across many concepts
that are foreign to many people we would
like to help
our audience understand these concepts
what we're going to focus on
right now is good asic good asic
shotgun will explain to us exactly what
it means
and how it applies to an aeros rabbi
shotgun good morning
good morning so the first thing we're
going to need to know is
when we're trying to create an aero and
we're trying to surround the city
we're using these door posts these door
frames so we have
a tsura sapesa we have the two
side posts and we have the lintel that
goes over the top
the difficulty is that oftentimes we
have
the lintel we have a wire as these high
tension power lines
are behind us but we want to have
the side post now these side posts
are not going to be able to go up and
touch the wire
but we use the concept called good asic
that once something goes up ten tv
the gebara says that it's considered as
if it imaginarily
goes up and it touches the wire
so these once they're 10 tall
which is around 40 inches
we consider it as if it extends the
difficulty with good asic
is that it only goes up straight as
gravity would be for example if i would
have a telephone pole
that would be at an angle
and i had a wire running like this
and i put my tent lathe here
gudasik does not go up in the direction
that the lefty is
it goes straight up plumb
which would very possibly miss the wire
so we want to be able to tell
how do we know that our lefi that's 12
tall is plumb underneath the wire that's
either like these high tension power
lines
hundreds of feet up or on a telephone
pole that's only 30 feet up
so we have a number of devices that
we're going to use to be able to
determine what is directly above
this lefty
[Music]
now that we've identified that we want
to use this high tension powered wire
for the canal gabe or the how do we
figure out
that it is on top of the post that we
discussed so
over here we have the a reviews is the
fence coming along
the side of the roadway and if you
notice
there's a plexiglas a piece of
plexiglass which is zip tied onto the
fence
that's the lefty that we're using but
how did i figure out where to put that
and how do i know that it's in the
proper place
so the first device we use just a simple
plumb line
any string with any heavy object on it
when it's hung down this will be plumb
it'll hang straight
as gravity would pull it if you line it
up so that
the wire and the string are lined up
together
if you follow the string down it should
be hitting that area of the lefty
the difficulty with this technique is
that it's not so precise because your
hand is constantly moving
and when you're going up hundreds of
feet and your left is only a few feet
wide
you want to have more precision than
this but this is good a good initial way
of telling
where you want to place your lefty so
now that we've done our initial
measurement
with this plug line and we know roughly
where on the fence we want
are lucky to be we're going to use some
other devices that are more
precise and we'll go over there and use
them to figure exactly where on the
fence
that lucky should be placed and
hopefully we'll see that this lahi was
placed properly
[Music]
now shotgun is identified with the plumb
line
which area the lucky should be in
underneath the wires we're going to use
some more
instruments that are more precise to
find that location right shotgun can you
show us what you have today
so the first device is uh i
recently picked this up in israel it's
called the bakbuk it's a piece of
pvc with a pin hanging from a piece of
thread
inside and when it hangs down
it's basically like a plumb line when we
look in the mirror
if we see the length of the needle then
we know we're not looking straight up
and if all we see is a dot
we know that we're looking directly up
at the needle so if we place this here
on the fence and steady the needle
if you look in at the mirror you'll see
that as you move your head to the point
where all you can see is a dot
directly above that will be the wire
that this lefty is supposed to be
underneath
that indicates that this is properly
placed
we also have that an extra two feet on
each side
that's to take care of the fact that the
wire will often sway in the wind
it's not just a margin of error on these
high tension power lines we need a much
greater margin of error due to the fact
that the wires themselves will sway back
and forth in the wind
this is a more sophisticated advanced
device there's an optical plummet
it sits on a base that has a level
and this level a bubble level when this
is level and you look into the
optics of it you can see straight up and
with crosshairs you know to within
millimeters exactly
what you are above generally this will
sit on a tripod
but for this or sometimes we'll sit on
the left itself
this is a more expensive device which i
got from dove cootin from the toronto
area
and shout out to dove kuden and
this is very good for working during the
day the next device that we have
which really works only at night at
least for me
is the laser the laser is a
self-leveling device
so you don't need to set the level so in
that way it's easier to use
but it shoots a dot down and a laser
up that dot that's above is directly
above because it self levels up to 15
degrees
this device works at night but it
it's also far more accurate than the
bakbuk
this one is very accurate but the
difficulty is
it can lose its calibration if it's
dropped so generally
like to use one or two if not three of
these devices to make sure that we know
that the thing is under the wire because
it's uh
tremendously disheartening to find out
after many years that the lefty was not
placed properly and that the a-rib was
never kosher
