when i did it the key went through a crowded classroom & straight through the hollow walls (both sides) including a corridor & ended up in the physics lab ;D

metalwork was also good for making throwing stars too! we were like the playground Ninjas LOL ;D

thats always worth a laugh ;D
we did a welding course on the YTS & turned the biggest Arc welder you've ever seen up to full current while the guy who was using it was on his tea break.....................

well when he got back & struck up an arc you should have seen it!
it was like he was waving a light sabre around! he blew the piece he was making straight through the hole he'd just burnt in his thick metal bench :o

the sound & the light off it was amazing!& he came out literally shaking with freshly soiled Keks a few moments later, he caught us for it though as we were laughing so much we couldn't breathe so escape was impossible ;D

they were some funny times :D

the white light coming from his welding booth was so bright it looked like he was being abducted by aliens ;D

LOL we had a good idea in the plumbing class at school, put a bottle in to the furnace to see if it would explode, it would have if the tutor hadn`t of caught us first, how he laughed as he tore up my hard earned merit marks for the whole year  :(

i work in the motor trade now & the favourite thing for us to make used tobe Acetylene bombs :o
you use to fill up a rubber glove as gig as you could get it with a mix of oxygen & acetylene from the welding bottles, then stick a short length of masking tape on it as a fuse, light it & run........

Fook me we nearly blew the roof off a couple of times ;D
