Strangest Thing Done With A Tool/materials

nywoodwizard

This should be a good thread. Your tale or someone elses.
I cut up a pizza on my table saw.

I use wood shims as silverware when I forget to pack it.

constrkings

don't know if this is the strangest thing I've ever done but the most recent -- used a sawzall to cut open a coconut for my son.
and not quite the same but my wife will use the first screw she finds no matter what she needs it for. tapcons in drywall, drywall screws in wood, exterior inside, interior outside. and she knows the difference -- just likes to grab the first one she finds.

I hung a sheet of wallcovering once using a credit card, and trimmed it with a sharpened screwdriver. Not by choice I might add.

I cut sections off of rolls of frozen hamburger with my sawzall, of course it is not in random orbit mode, metal blade works best.

I have used 2 wires run to a 120v outlet to warm hot-dogs.Some carpenter friends turned me on to that.Can't count the objects I've used to pry something in a pinch.

Not really to odd (I think), I use the reciprocating saw to cut the dogs bones and rawhides.

not sure if this is what your looking for but...

I had a helper who cut a guitar out of a sheet of plywood. I looked down to call out some measurements and he was plywood guitar-in', kicking his legs up and everything. it was pretty funny.

dkillianjr

That would be funny... well unless of coarse I needed that sheet of plywood I prefer the tape measure guitar myself!


Hmm about the weirdest thing I have done is used peices of wood or shims for utensils. I did have a craving for smores one day, I made them in front of my keroseen heater, they weren't to bad either!

Dewalt highspeed drill with a wooden spoon in it when my wife needed a mixer in a pinch. Worked like a charm.

rservices

Carving pumpkins with my power tools, every year I drive my kids nuts. I use to use just my zip, but last year I went all out with my sawzall, and drill.

jcalvin

Sawzall for de-horning fall's trophies, actually saw a guy with a milled piece of oak for a piston in a VW bug, around here log home contractors get big milwalkee grinders and put a chuck on them for drilling big holes/breaking wrists.

Here is another that works really well. During the summer, just before lunch break, I would beat a dish shape into a chunk of valley tin to make a rigged solar cooker for my sammich. Set it in the sun and your sammich will be nice and hot in no time. I have ruebens and burritos all the time.

jcalvin

I keep tin foil in the truck. I wrap up my lunch, cram it in the engine, and head to work. Unwrap and enjoy, ignore the salmonella possibilties.

PS. make sure it is away from anything that moves unless you don't like to chew your food up.

I've used the string from my plumb-bob to cut PVC pipe inside a wall, I have used a porta band saw to cut steaks from frozen deer backstraps, and I regularly mix concrete with a Hole Hawg.

Caught one of my new hires using his concrete pencil to mark time shadows on the concrete in 15 minute intervals before I fired him.

nap

was at a factory where they have a water jet. Used to cut metal.
I asked what it can cut? The guy says, "it cuts a snickers bar real well. Don't even have to unwrap it"

malco, you might turn her on to:



she won't need the extension cord.

silvertree

Cut frozen venison sausage into slices with my 10" miter saw.
Damn saw smelled like sausage for a while.

Back in the day, I used a small pair of long nosed vise grips for a roach clip.
