Kids making lathes

[motto (RIP)]

You're absolutely right Mike, I certainly wouldn't fit in there at all. it's way too academic now.
When I was attending FTC, Footscray and Maribyrnong were still heavily industrialised. The ordnance and ammunition factories were still substantial entities and you could often hear the machine guns test firing a mile or so away.
One of the highlights was a visit to the ammunition factory where we were strictly forbidden to take any samples but all walked out with jangling pockets. It's no wonder they wouldn't let us near the filling room or the live ammo.
Apologies for hijacking your thread, it jogged some memories.
