Dude hammering away

He was clearing out a hole to shove in some dynamite and blow it up. we felt the explosion later when we were 4 levels above inside the mine. Miners take about 2 hours to hammer a hole for dynamite and can hammer about 4 holes, for 4 explosions, in a day. It is hard work and it is hot down there.
