Shop Class: [3/13]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the student enter into the classroom they'll see that it looks like a normal shop room, except for what appears to be some strangely decorated tools

Mac is sitting on the edge of his desk with a small grin on his face. "Since you guys should all be refreshed from your week off of classes, today I thought I'd give you the biggest challenge ever. Today you will build... a spice rack. When using the tools Ms. Gilmore-Danes made for us, please make sure you take the hat off the hammer first. It's only there to keep it warm. Apparently."

After spending much of the day before pretending to be a lobster, Nadia is still in a pretty silly mood.

The decorated tools? Set her off like nobody's business. Because hammers wearing hats are just WAY too cute for words.

It takes her some time before she can stop giggling long enough to actually get started on this "spice rack" project.

Since Xander's actually done this once already, when they did the 'make something useful for another student' class, he's pretty confident in his spice-rack-building abilities.

Of course possibly jumping from a 4-slot wire rack to a spinny wooden carousel that holds 48 jars is... a bit ambitious? But that's what he's trying for, at least. Not that he knows anyone who cooks enough to need 48 jars worth of spices.

He studies his hat-clad hammer for a second, snickering, before smacking himself in the forehead - with his hand, not the hammer. Duh. "Oops, forgot something - be right back."

A quick trip to the dorms and back later, there's a bag from a British novelty shop lying next to Xander's backpack. Just in case someone whose name rhymes with Yon Titan ever shows up to class...

Xander considers the hatted hammer again. "You know, cute? But I think it might need antennae to really complete the image." He hunts down some pipe cleaners and attaches them jauntily to the hat.

John comes into his class, yawning and looking slightly disheveled. The spice rack immediately perplexes him. The tools make him think of meadows and potpourri and Martha Stewart.

He stares at them. They stare back. His spice rack making abilities suck. So, when he nails four pieces of wood to one flat piece of wood to form something of a box, he starts to think the tools are mocking him or something. He discards that and just stares at the tools some more.

They're almost hypnotic with their glitter and prettiness. He listens to him and starts working. Finally, after some time, he finishes his spice rack. (http://www.mini-house.com/fred46.jpg)

Duo stares in semi-horror at the tools which are...wearing...things...and...glitter. There is also an unnatural amount of pink present that reminds him a bit too much of a specific Queen of Earth's limousine and he shudders. He then produces something that looks like a spice rack since he has a vague idea what they look like. It's a least something that will hold small containers of spices.

Ivanova was more than a little later for class and had the general appearance of having gotten dressed in a hurry. Probably on her way to class. Her cheeks were flushed and she was . . . glowing would be appropriate here. But not in the 'I'm going to ascend' sort of glowy, because that would be overdoing it.

She considered the challenge with a raised eyebrow. "A spice rack, hmm?"

Now here was something she could do. The end product was actually a fairly nice little rack. She considered doing some decorative scrollwork.

Sam eyed the tools with a bit of suspicion. "Hammers shouldn't be clothed. In fact, I'm going to say that hammers should be nudists and confident in their appearance. Form follows function, after all."

She took some pieces of wood and began building a spice rack, but she was a bit preoccupied and ended up putting one of the sets of door hinges on backwards, so it opened more like a locker than a cabinet. Oops.

Kawalsky showed up and silently made his spice rack. The only hint that he'd been up to anything nefarious over the weekend was the band-aid on his head and the fact that, when he was moving, he was moving very carefully and stiffly.

After eyeing the bizarrely outfitted tools warily for a few minutes, Stark set to working on a slightly crooked spice rack. A spice rack that seemed to have stolen half the glitter off the tools when he wasn't looking.

He was careful to replace all of the decorations on the tools when he was done. He did not, however, give in to the urge to draw a face on the hammer, even if it would have looked perfect with the hat.
