Never saw of of those steam engines but did make a crystal radio from a coil wound on a toilet paper core a set of headphones and a small pot of crystal with a wire finger. It was my first radio and I spent many hours at night listening to it. Actually worked quite well. You could actually buy a crystal,headphones and instructions at the Boy Scout store. This was around 1943 when the war was on and it was exciting.

Christopher is keen on making furniture out of scraps of wood and metal he salvages from skips and recently he built an eight wheel cart. It keeps him occupied all day. Michael is also keen to make things but perhaps more stuff like cards and indoor things like his wire man he made from scraps of copper wire. Attachment: The Wire Man 0192.jpg (Downloaded 17 times)

Education also does not encourage extra-syllabus activity as this is dangerous or time consuming and requires a teacher to conduct a skill and risk assessment for each activity and this has to be lodged prior to the event and parental approval is also required for participation. We must have lived in such dangerous times prior to all this Health and Safety bullsh1t that it is a wonder that there are enough people on the planet of breeding age!!! Many organisations also dont want creative people as they can be both challenging to manage and to business processes as they find ways around the system.
