I know it didn't happen but I'm picturing that it straight up disintegrated except for that wheel and that other bit of debris.

No pictures of this one because it wasn't that interesting to look at, but earlier today one of our students destroyed the chuck on one of our drill presses by trying to drill a hole through a piece of wood without installing a drill bit. Yes, that's what I said. He tightened the chuck down all the way with no bit installed, so that the jaws came out and closed up into that blunt cone that they do, spun up the drill press, and then rammed the jaws into the surface of a 2" thick glued-up plywood block. Now the chuck no longer opens.

I think generally for friction drilling/flow drilling you need a blunt cone of tungsten carbide, and a material half as thick as the hole radius. Nice try, though.

Is this vocational school or high school? Given the liability issue (and the dumb poo poo we did as bored teenagers over 25 years ago) does shop class/small engine classes still exist?

Probably like half of the kids I teach have never used a drill or a saw before arriving here, and I bet some of them have never used a screwdriver. High schools have mostly eliminated shop classes these days, and organizations like the boy scouts where you might learn how to use basic tools have also been decimated. Every semester I blow people's minds by demonstrating that you can cut a STEEL ROD in half without even using power tools -- just a hacksaw!! No, they don't pay to replace it, though the director will have some words with the instructor who was supposed to be supervising the class. I wish I could tase them sometimes.

In HS I elected to not take shop or the mechanic class. Instead I took Engineering Tech and we had a CNC lathe, mill, router, robotic arm, plastic thermoforging machine/welder, and a rapid prototyper amongst other things. My grandfather was a HS shop teacher, after years of begging my parents they finally gave me one of the workbenches from his class and I have a radial arm saw sitting on top of it that I first used when I was like 6 years old. Out of my group of friends that are 30somethings like me, only one other one owns any tools beyond a hammer, multibit screwdriver, and the tape measure they barely know how to use.

Dragged my son out to the garage this weekend to help me build a bed for him. Sore and tired at the end of the day is probably bad for an 8 year old, but he had fun. This is the reason why I did it.

Coming from auto-mechanic land it boggled my mind how completely terrible people can be with tools in my college work lab. Here's a guy using a hacksaw to cut through 1/2" plywood. Here's a guy attempting to use a dremel as a router in plywood... with one of those ceramic grinding heads. Here's someone hammering a 1/2" diameter wood-thread bolt through a 4x4. Here's someone using a step drill to create a hole in a 2x4.

My wife used my hacksaw to cut branches off a little tree and complained that it was a piece of poo poo because of how long it took. Then she discovered my side cutters and used them for pruning her rose bushes... And left them out in the rain

Google reveals nothing, but you mean occasionally where it would curl where it met the wall? I thought that was just lovely installation.

I'm joking. I can't think of a situation other than installation or modification where you'd cut it.

Doing chef knife work with a paring knife is like doing drill press work with a hand drill. Harder, worse results, more hazardous. I love seeing the mindblown look on someones face when you show them how to use the right (and well cared for) tool for a job though. Warms my heart.

My wife is the opposite, any job requiring something to be cut requires the 9" chef's knife. I've tried correcting but it doesn't help so I do most of the food prep cutting and keep it sharp for when she uses it.

I have a MAC Santoku that I keep properly sharp. My wife won't use it because every time she does she accidentally cuts herself. Works for me! (I also do almost all of the cooking)
