As the students enter into the Danger ~~Room~~ Shop, they'll see that it has been transformed into a scrapyard, filled with various mechanical machines, scrap metal etc.

A section of the Junkyard has been put aside for the typical tools you would find in a metal/wood shop.

"Morning Kids. Before we do anything else, we will go over The Rules of the Danger Shop."

After the rules have been gone over, Mac then does Roll Call to make sure everyone is there. Then Mac walks everyone through the safety percautions and techniques to use any of the shop tools.

When that is complete, Mac rolls out a cart that has ground coffee and various types of coffee filters.

Today we are going to build a coffee machine.

To do this you must:
1. Fashion a container and device to boil water
2. Fashion a device to filter water through the coffee grounds
3. Fashion a device to receive the coffee

Notes: There are no Coffee Brewers or Percolators in the Junk Yard. I know. I fixed them. If you find a device that will heat the coffee (hotplate etc), chances are it is broken and you must take the time to fix it. Shop equipment cannot be used as functioning part of the coffee maker. Only to build it.

"Just like your model cars," he mutters to himself even though it's so not and there's stuff all over the place.

First up, heating element. Fine, right. Maybe there's some gasoline and matches around here somewhere. Open flames might not be good though. So, scratch that idea.

Heading into the scrap pile, John's able to dig out a scrap piece of metal, an old off white siphon, and an old oil pan.

John figures the siphon will be good to filter things and the oil pan can catch the coffee. The heating will be a bit more difficult. No matches to heat the underside. A light bulb used as a heating lamp might do. Finally, John decides on something else. He retrieves another oil pan and fills it with boiling water. Then he covers the oild pan with the scrap piece of metal to heat so the metal heats. Then he siphons the dumps water and coffee grounds into the siphon and holds it over the other oil pan he's using to capture the coffee.

The coffee is a really ugly shade of brown.

Mac looks at the coffee and shrugs. The point was to make the coffee. Not necessarily drink it.

"Good job, Crichton."

"There's no taste test involved, right? If so," John says and might grin deviously, "I think the TA should do it."

"Sam? I need you to grade Crichton's assignment!" Mac yells out with a wry grin.

Mac adds a plus to John's grade. "I like the way you think Crichton."

"Thank you, sir." John grins down a the mess coffee. "I hope Sam feels the same way about me. I mean, hey, it's coffee. Bound to, at the very least, wake her up."

"I hate you, Crichton," Sam called from across the room, where she was working on her own machine.

John grins and jiggles his oil pan o' coffee at Sam. "It might be good! C'mon, show some of that TA fortitude!"

Mac might be making chicken noises under his breath. One can't be sure.

Sam didn't hear the chicken noises and resumed working.
