that last picture guarantees a short
Maybe it was arranged by the same folks who photographed this:

It’s not near anything else yet.
What a gem. There is no better way to hold a soldering iron
Goggles on. Safety first!
Well it is an easy way to get some 2nd or 3rd degree burns on their hands, right?
(Many decades back, I took woodshop in middle school. The band saw became off limits because of the number of kids who got their fingers cut … or cut off.)
Hopefully they’re just doing a craft project with that zip cord.
That’s definitely one way to do it.
But that sounds about right when you give kids power tools lol. I remember back in school they had welding class and there were a few kids who swore they didn’t need any eye protection or helmet. Wonder what those guys ended up doing
We had work tables with holes in them to anchor different tools - the teacher had to constantly remind kids not to stick their fingers in them bc they would get stuck and a few were lost over the years.
Also, back in the day (before my time), they would have indoor archery as part of gym - the arrows with the nice sharp metal tips - lots of them were stuck in the gym ceiling.
doesn’t need to be - will pop as soon as it’s plugged in
Yeah sorry. I couldn’t tell what kind of wire it was at first. The cord keeps them separated for a reason!
Maybe they did the same thing to the other end of the wire. Cut off the plug and then twisted the two wires together to create a single wire…
What hot hands!
