Most "wrong" fun in the lab/shop/biz/bench? Keep it clean!
<< < (5/5)
TERRA Operative:
When I was fixing welders for a few years, we'd sneakily squirt WD40/CRC/etc on the hot weld as someone was testing a welder (Easy when they are blinkered with their head in a welding helmet). Flames are always fun. :D

Also, turning off soldering irons while the tech was deep in concentration halfway through a 20-pin plug.

We also found that sharpened tungsten rods fit perfectly into the nozzles of our air blowers (The ones you hook up to shop air), they made for some scary blow darts that were pinpoint accurate and very powerful when shot across the shop.

Ever heard of Anton Svensson from Maple Hill.

If you used Hellermann sleeving you must surely know the trick of putting one on the end of a freezer spray nozzle then folding it back and cable-tying it closed? The spray would inflate it like a balloon which itself would then freeze before going off with a hell of a BANG.

Those Hellermann sleeves were used almost everywhere in my apprenticeship days, they were applied with those 3-pronged expanding pliers affectionally known as Honeymoon Pliers...
