A couple of weeks back myself and Charlie V paid a visit to the workshop, where Charlie V had some sort of urge to cast a base for a lamp out of aluminium. Why you ask? Absolutely no idea, but he might like to say “Because I can”
Anyway, the workshop is a magical place and it’s full of all sorts of things to play with, break, grind, weld, hammer and cut. We spent a good couple of hours there and while Charlie packed the sand to cast the base, I strolled around aimlessly trying to cause as much mayhem as possible.
It’s like an untapped wonder world there, and would keep a kid entertained for hours. So as you can guess, I was kept entertained for hours.
My first stop was to take a look at all the Lego toys there. There were some dinosaurs and then there were even some scale models of buildings, which had me thinking if they had built people, to scale, for the buildings. I think they should. What? You can’t do it? It’s too intricate? Well I want it done. Get to work people!
What was I doing? Highly odd
Then I tested out the world slowest drill. I have never seen something so pathetic in my life! It would have literally taken me the entire year to drill through a phone book. Apparently all new cars are made with these drills. It takes 42 years to make the new Mini, hence the waiting list for them. This drill also built the Ford Model T. And Trump Towers in New York.
I’m still drilling to this day
Right now you might be thinking, what is the point of this article? What’s so excessive? Keep cool my babies, I will get to that now. Which is now.
This is actually on the opposite end of the excess scale, which had me amused. In between drilling and melting metal, I managed to find a 200ml Windhoek Draught beer can! That’s like un-excess! I think that’s quite mad really, and I have never seen one. It’s a really nice way of helping your kids get into drinking…oh wait that’s illegal. Anyway, I thought it was really cool and it deserved a mention. I’m sure you have not seen that around too much.
I would not really know what to do with such a small can, but I’m sure the advertising industry would find something useful for it.
Four hundred of these should give you a nice hang over. I tried to Photoshop my face out because it scares a lot of readers away. But the Photoshopping seemed like a lot of work.
