Shop Prank!

[Lawrence Brown]

Hey, while everyone else is gone to WIA, let's all rearrange Marc's shop!

[protectedvoid]

I have family out in Phoenix. Anyone have his shop address?

[Lawrence Brown]

He's keeping that a secret. He's actually in Area 51 where they faked the moon landings.

Huh. I thought Area 51 was where they stored that alien space craft that Will Smith flew to destroy the mother ship some years ago. Man...who knew?

[Lawrence Brown]

Well, you never see Will Smith and Marc at the same time, do ya? *nudge nudge*

Good Point.

[PaulMarcel]

Ideas?! I can't think of a good prank to do on a shop that is completely safe. Rearranging would be fun and a hell of a workout with all that gold. I don't think he has his shop setup in the proper "work triangle" so maybe if we set that up, it would mess with his mind muahahaha (btw, I'm kidding about that; inside joke )

[DALSAW]

We could change out all of his Festool stuff for Black & Decker.

[PaulMarcel]

Excellent idea, Aaron! Or actually put Harbor Freight power tools in the Systainers. I'm not sure if a representative of Festool would come over to beat me senseless for doing that. I'll keep the green n blues safe, I SWEAR!

Could get a bumper sticker made "Honk If You Love MDF".

Switch out all the tape measures for Metric measures?!

Has to be something more.

[DALSAW]

Oh, go to Ikea, get something then get it halfway assembled and put it on his bench and then scatter all of the parts around it. Then place the assembly manual on top of it.

[PaulMarcel]

Okay, Aaron is officially evil

Would need to assemble whatever it is with a built-in rack so it can't sit straight. Ikea has enough class to not have that plastic '70s "oak" veneer, but that would be tight.

I know in his old shop, he sprayed a few times inside and it left shadows of the projects on the garage floor. Maybe make a body outline on the floor out of overspray shadow a bit like you'd see in a murder/mystery show. Ha ha, with the shadow of a pneumatic nailer by the head

[DALSAW]

Just a little bit evil. I get a lot of practice at work.

I don't know. If they faked the landings then why are his blinds always closed. Do you really think that is the sun trying to pop through

[TomP]

Switch Nicole with someone else and swap the dogs with small french poodles

[Lawrence Brown]

Or we just rotate the whole interior of the shop 90 degrees.

Or... we could go in and "finish" all the projects he's currently working on. I just KNOW he wants hot pink dye on that thing he's making. He wouldn't mind that at all, would he?!

find someone extremely good with an airbrush and make a cardboard saw blade and install it in his table saw

[cody.sheridan-2008]

I have an idea! It goes like this, replace all of his power tools with hand tools that do the same thing, but making sure they are low quality tools! Then leave a note explaning if he doesn't build another of his amazing pieces he will not get his precious festools (what is the plural of festool?) back!!!! The only problem here is it may kill him and we would then not have anymore of his fantastic videos, blog posts ect ect ect ect ect.

Now how do we get admin access to delete this thread before he gets back . I've got it! We make the thing he has to build for Nicole!

What are your thoughts on this plan?

[cody.sheridan-2008]

Switch Nicole with someone else and swap the dogs with cats

Sorry for the extra post but I had to fix yours

[TomP]

No problem, better yet We could go in and glue his hand tools to the work bench

The shadow on the garage floor is a pretty good one. I think it would be best to keep the prank limited to the shop. Swapping Nicole and the dogs might send him over the edge.

[Bobby Slack]

This entire thread is so funny LMAO. I don't have anything to add. You guys really made my morning ... coffee brake.

[Lawrence Brown]

Yes, but then we would never get it done because we'd first have to have a discussion about the proper glue for the job and what to do about the squeeze-out and what kind of clamps to use

This is Marc we are talking about there must be a video he has released on "how to stick Marc's hand tools to his workbench, what glue and clamps to use and how to fix the squeeze out!" now it will probably take a few weeks just to go through his videos and find this one!

Have we figured out where he lives yet?

This better get on Wood Talk Online Radio it's just too funny!

Well, we know from prior videos that he prefers Titebond II. And, we know that he's a fan of General Finishes - so at least we know what kind of glue, and what durable finish he prefers. We also have seen him refer to using his cauls time and again, so, I think our best bet would be to line the tools up in a completely disorganized array, and use his cauls and F clamps to secure the tools to the workbench with the Titebond II. Then, all that would be left to use the HVLP system to spray the lacquer -- Oooh...let's use Rock Hard!
