Where did you dig that old video up from!

I could swear i remember seeing it on one of those old 'clicking' film projectors back too many decades ago in High School machine shop!

Still a good refresher and useful to this day.

Yeah guilty as charged, i've been known to use screw drivers as miniature crowbars.

Correctamundo on the shop class. Saw this in 69 for metal shop.
My wife would point out though that it's missing all the vulgar language that she's accustomed to emanating from the garage..

Yup. My electric shop teacher was mostly blind in one eye from flash burn. Seems pretty hilarious that these were the guys that ran shop classes.

Oh, Oh and then there was the gym teacher that was at least 100 lbs overweight and the veins in his face looked ready to explode from the high blood pressure.

He was a semi pro football player though back in the day.

Or, the guidance counselor who couldn't find her way out of a paper bag...okay, yeah, I'm gonna take advice from someone who at the peak of their adult life is stuck in a high school office telling kids what they can or can't do...

Hey, I'll tell ya though... That video may appear "cheesy" to the younger crowd, but I for one didn't know about the wire stripping technique with the dikes.

That happened to my high school wood shop teacher too in the late '60s - two off his right hand. He was distracted by a student while using a table saw. He was always big on shop safety and after that when he held up his hand and said "it could happen to any one" ... EVERYONE believed him. Great guy and it didn't slow him down one bit.
