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 .... .
