Create a makeshift soldering iron using a bent up nail for the tip, the broken pipe section welded on using the zippo lighter, some copper wiring and the milk carton to cover the pipe. Run the wires out of the end of the carton, and cover them. Use a power cord you cannibalized from the computer's power cord.
*DING!*
You race up to your lounge, sweep a piece of paper up and a pen and rush back to your Garage. Writing and drawing at a furious pace, you create the blueprints for a home made soldering iron...
KNOWLEDGE: Makeshift soldering iron (1 bent nail, 1 pipe section, heat source, copper wiring and a easy to mold container.)
(Weld pipe onto bent nail, using what ever heat source you have available. Run wires down length of iron and then connect one end to a cannibalized power cord)
You frown. Doing this without insulated gloves or boots will be interesting. You push the nail onto the edge of pipe and get your zippo out. You light it with a quick flick and hold it under the nail and pipe....
One hour later..."Finally!" you yell. You though your arm was going to fall off but you finally managed to mold them together! You gently place the combination on the ground to cool...
Half an hour later...Feeling safe enough to pick it up, you reach down and touch it. Nice and cool. You sweep it up into your left hand and with the other, you slip the carton over the pipe. You then feed some copper wire through the carton, with the only touchable copper being the very end and 10 CM worth on the other end. You might need to get that covered. Gently placing it down, you run over to the pile of cords. As you do, you finally hear the radio die out ((I forgot about that damn thing)). Darn. Your gona need to get some new batteries or do some modifications to it. You pick a suitable looking cable from the pile and start to tinker with the cables, making them join...
Half an hour later...It all looks good to you but your hardly an A grade electrician. You managed to just 'solder' them together, lightly melting the wires together. All looks good... Time to test it. Placing the "Soldering iron" on the ground, you pull the cord over to a power point and plug it in. With a deep breath, you flip the switch on the point. A huge wave of sparks fly off the iron as it warms up, filling the room up like its Guy Fawkes. You decide to get in a little closer to look at it. It appears the sparks are coming from the unprotected wires hitting the pipe. No surprise there. You manage to get a quick peek at the nail end. Yup, its heating. Good stuff. Looks like your going to need insulated gloves to use this "thing" safely. But hey, its a start. You take a quick peek at your watch. Its 8:20
KNOWLEDGE: VERY basic knowledge of metal crafting
NEW: Horribly crafted, makeshift soldering iron.
LOST: One bent nail, pipe section, empty milk container
CHANGED: Basic knowledge of electrical wiring.
CHANGED: Zippo (65/100)OOC: Would you look at the time... CAR HUNTING TIME.
You decide it might be a good idea to find if these keys are worth anything. You walk out onto the street and have a closer look at them. There a 'Hondzwa TM' set of keys. From what you remember.... Theres no houses around here for awhile. You decide to jog down to the place you found them at.
Once you get there, you take a quick peek around nothing sticks out.... WAIT! Whats that behind the skip! You jog as fast as your fitness lets you and stop on the corner of the skip, breathing hard. Behind it is faded dark red station wagon. On the front is the proud emblem on Hondzwa TM. You slowly walk over to the car, put the key in the door and turn it. SUCCESS! Just stopping yourself from screaming with joy, you jump in and turn the key in the ignition.
Crrrrrrrk.... Crrrrrrk...... Crrrrrrk..... Crrrrrk..... Vrrrrcrrrrrk....Dam it. Its no great surprise to you but its still a bummer. You jump out of the car and take a quick look at its tires. They look intact. Coming up with a quick plan, you let the hand break go, jump behind and
HEAVE!. The car starts to roll gently downwards towards the road and your house. You jump in the seat and find the breaks are nice and weak. Great. You manage to coast the car down to the little paved area in front of your house. Damn. You knew you should of got a proper garage.
