Shop Class: 12/6

When the students enter the classroom they'll see that the familiar junkyard has been reinstated.

Sitting on the tables are some old coffee grinders.

"Your assignment today is to create a machine that will connect to this old coffee and grind the coffee. The machine can be powered by anything but an actual engine. Anything that powerful would destroy the coffee grinder. Feel free to use anything in the junkyard."

John wonders why they just weren't allowed to just crank the wheel. Seems stupid. Oh, well, time to get creative.

John took the wheel off the grinder and put a socket and air wrench on the end with a shut off valve about 10 feet away to modulate the amount of pressure.

It works, when turned to low.
