Industrial Arts, Tuesday
"Sorry for missing out last week," Kaidan said. The Danger Shop had been set up the same way it had the last few times around, but now there were cans and brushes sitting everywhere. "Hopefully you got a chance to keep working on your project last week anyway. And as a result, I'm extending the partnering deadline - you have until the end of the class to come to me and declare a partner. Anyone who hasn't got one is going to get one assigned next week."
There. That ought to do it.
"Anyway, you should be getting somewhere with your woodworking project," he continued, "And since this is our last week doing that, I figured it was time to talk about finishes. Basically, you're not done when everything's in the right place and the right shape, you've got to make it look - and keep - the part. If you don't, you might not just wind up with an ugly project, but it's also going to wear and tear a lot easier."
"First part of the process is sanding," he continued. "You can do it by hand or by using tools, though this class, we're just going to do it by hand. Sanding means smoothing over the wood, making sure it looks good and won't give you splinters. Once you're done sanding, you can get to the finish. They come in a lot of different styles and colors. I've provided some here, so you can go wild."
... Well, for some value of the term 'go wild'.
"Here's some tips on doing the finishing right," he said, walking past handing out some leaflets. "It's important to pick the right finish. Depending on what you pick, you're going to make your project water-resistant, wear-resistant, chemical-resistant. You can influence the electrical conductivity and the surface friction. Think hard about what you're gonna do before you tackle it."
He stopped at the front of the class. "Get to work," he said, "Next week you can show off."

Cade had multiple piercings and tattoos. "Restrained" wasn't really his style.

Helpful, Cade.

And by 'functional' we meant he'd included all kinds of places to keep spanners, spare circuitry, and other tools within reach, but there wasn't an ounce of aesthetic consideration that had gone into the design. Look, it suited his purposes.

Rapunzel frowned for a moment, then took a deep breath and decided to just go for it.
"Do you, um, already have a partner?"
Re: Sign Up Your Team!
Cade wasn't remotely friendly.
Re: Sign Up Your Team!
"Um, I don't either. Would you like to be partners, then?"
Pleasesayyes!

She stuck out her hand, the movement abrupt, as if she'd just thought about it. "It's nice to meet you!" You know, officially.
Re: Sign Up Your Team!
Because no one had ever noticed that before!
Re: Sign Up Your Team!
"And you have, um... Lots of muscles?"
Good job, Rapunzel.

She grinned again, most of the shyness gone from her expression. "Thank you for agreeing to be my partner!" In case she didn't mention it earlier.
Re: Sign Up Your Team!
Working with a pretty girl was never a hardship.
