Shop Class: [1/9]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

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.

Kara walks into Shop yawning. Gods, why did it have to be so early? She gives a tired nod to John and listens to the assignment.

"Build a coffee maker?" Kara mutters to herself as she wanders over to the scrap heap and begins to look around. Picking up some bits of wire, a piece of wood, a dirty glass beaker and a funnel, she takes it back to her workbench.

She holds the funnel against the wood and wraps the wire around it to hold it on. Standing it upright, she places the glass jar underneath. However, something was missing. A way to heat the water. Not that she planed on drinking coffee made from this.

Kara bites her lip and returns to the scrap heap, digging around in it until she finds an old kettle. Pouring water into the kettle, she waits for it to boil. Looking at her funnel, she decides she's going to need some type of filter. Pulling off a sock, she slips it on to the bottom, wrapping wire around to hold it on. She never liked that sock anyway.

Filling the funnel with coffee grinds, she pours the boiling water into the funnel and watches as it slowly trickles through her sock in drips.

She is kind of impressed.

As is Mac. Though he's not going to be drinking anything from a part that just came off someone's foot.

Kara does get an A for the day for sacrificing her clothing.

"Good Job Thrace."
