  1. It would seem to me, that without electricity, you wouldn’t have those lights. :D.

  2. Reminds myself to add that to a list of things that only freshmen should do. ALong with tapping. MUAHAHAHA.

3

Post links to unavailable youtube videos that suggest a Travis Baker interview?

Oh there it is… You couldn’t somehow tap the power drills to the lights since they’re on the backup generaator?

4

WoW, just wow.

5

Oh no not manual labor I’m scared!

6

I’ve always wanted one of those. Mechanical tools are wonderful failsafes for when our beloved electricity hops off and has a vacation.

We do a similar thing with our newbies. When they rivet, for the first time, we give them the hand riveter. After they learn humility, we give them the pneumatic one :slight_smile:

We have only ever had a hand riveter…I guess I am old school:ahh:

9

We don’t even have a riveter! I guess that makes us no school:yikes:

10

Ahhh… The good old days!! Wanna feel really old try to find a record player needle… for those of us that know what a turn table is…:smiley:

11

yes tapping and deburing that’ll show 'em :stuck_out_tongue:

12

Dont forget grinding off the chain and tapping them to put on masterlinks
Mwa ha ha ha

13

i had to put some 1/4 rivets on my sailboat a while back, now THIS was hard:p

14

LOL.
Diamond Stylus :wink:
Ah the good old days :rolleyes:

15

I have a couple cartons of typewriter ribbons…and 5-1/4" floppy disks…you never know when you’ll need this type of stuff!

16

8-tracks anyone?

17

I think I have a blank 8 track tape around here somewhere too. And a new underdash player, just waiting to go in an old car.

18

Only on team THRUST where they use 2brazilloion rivets would that be old school :slight_smile:

19

I actually have a hand drill somewhere. It’s so ancient that it doesn’t have a guard over the gears, so I constantly pinch myself when I use it.
Good times…

This reminds me of a time when we asked somebody to cut us a piece of lexan to size. The coach didn’t realize that he’d left the safety key to the bandsaw tucked away in a cabinet, so we found the kid turning the wheel of the bandsaw by hand!
