Yeah, you got that right Celtic! We can't give away the whole list, "if there is one" of made up tools and such. Would almost ruin this old Journeyman/apprentice tradition.

The storeman where I worked for BT said he once had apprentices sent to him for a can of tartan paint and an A.C. battery.

I took the blade out of someones roto split and put in a paper replica.

It was deserved as he 'borrowed' my spare without asking.

As an apprentice, I got even with the j-man by parking the PU truck too close to the porta-john door when he was in for his daily. He was released after break.

Last summer I worked for the railway company. the nostalgia department has many volunteers and not all of them are the brightest bulbs.
One of them saw us run a laptop inside a railway car without power. "How does that work?"
"The car's got big batteries!"
"What, a 220V AC battery???"
Guess he never heard of an inverter...

Does anyone have a good supply house that sells dehydrated water? I used to keep a can labeled this in my truck just to see who would ask about it. You would be amazed at the comments from it.

My Grandfather was a woodworker, he had square bits for drill press work. Norm Abram has them as well.
