Shop Class: [1/9]
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.

Re: Assignment: [1/9]
"Coffee maker," Kawalsky talked to himself. It was easier when he talked stuff through. "Container and device to boil water, filter, something to receive the coffee. Right." He stared at the scrapyard for a while and then started to wander around, collecting things. He returned with three open tin cans (two smaller, one large), a thin wire mesh colander, a piece of flint, a very oily looking rod about the length of his hand, a piece of scrap metal and some stuffing from a car seat.
Kawalsky set the smaller can down on the ground and put some of the stuffing in it. He wiped the top half of the rod clean with his shirt and then settled in, oily end down, in the can. He grabbed some note paper from his bag, scrunched it up into a long cylinder shape and set it aside. He got the bigger can and poured the water into it. He put the coffee grounds into the thin wire mesh colander and set it aside.
Setting aside an area away from everything else, he started a small fire with the metal, flint and the rest of the seat stuffing. He used the notebook paper to transfer the fire to the larger can. He put out the open fire for safety reasons. The oil and stuffing inside the can kept the fire going in a controlled environment. Kawalsky put the can full of water on top and waited for it to boil.
Once it was boiled, Charlie set up the remaining tin can and put the colander with coffee grounds over it. He pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped it around one hand so he could pick up the boiling water. He poured the water into the colander. It filtered through into the final can.
