Screwed Over By A Machine

We had lathing today. I guess the simplest definition of lathing is stripping metal.. Anyway, it is one of the toughest modules so far. The process is pretty simple once you've gotten the basics; adjusting, supporting and the actual lathing. The problem that most of us face?

THE FRIGGIN' LATHING MACHINE ITSELF!

Shits that happened while Ben was lathing:
- The machine started making weird sounds.
- The coolant tube came loose.
- The screw holding down the cutter couldn't be tightened.
- The measurement dial was screwed up, hence overcutting.
- The motor suddenly stopped working.

That's what you get for working with a machine that was around even before you were born. You know what the worse part is? My group was the last to finish!

Being last sucks.
