Would you believe we made wood patterns,(in woodwork), sand moulds and cast steel (from melted brake discs), to make our own vice. Turning the threads on the lathe, in-between welding up the geography teachers Datsun to scrape through it's next M.O.T. We were 13 years old.....Great days!

My first introduction to a lathe was for the whole class to line up and drill a hole in a piece of steel held in the chuck using a drill mounted in the tailstock, Very simple, what could go wrong, well as my surname begins with a 'W' the teacher was getting bored before my turn. The comedian before me new a bit about lathes so left it in reverse , me not knowing the controls, obeyed the simple instructions and started drilling, curiously the drill bit turned blue, not knowing any better I continued .... . My cards were marked from then on

Yep,

 

But not a lot of help when you forget to do it...and you are on stage in front of a load of spotty teenagers who all think they are Hank Marvin...even the girls!

 

Thank goodness for the Binson Echorec......that drum whirring round  oozing Italian magic.

 

Them there kids don't know they're born today...digital this...digital that.....multi tracking...cor

Better than sitting on top of Black Dunghill I suppose.

Ah, the fun one can have with Dartmoor Tors.

https://www.torsofdartmoor.co.uk/map.php

 

I now regret we didn't take a set of Yes albums with us to take a pic at the top of Yes Tor. Years later, when I met Rick Wakeman, it would have been such a delightfully nerdy groupy kind of thing to have given him a copy of the picture.

 

But never ever ask Dartmoor sheep for directions - they can't be trusted.
