I was on welding forum and guys where discussing why things are called what they are called. So I gave them my story of one of my apprentices.
"My apprentice 7 or 8 years ago called me a liar. I explained to him that he just used up his one and only I get to call the boss a name to his face. I continued to explain to him that next time I send him after paste on metal shrink he better go get it. I don't want that spray on stuff. He argued that there was no such thing a metal shrink paste. I grabbed a jar of never seize. I had him try to put the a 0.9995" pin in a 1.0000" hole it just wouldn't fit. Then I use the magic metal shrink paste and the pin went right in. His jaw almost hit the floor. I explained that it bonded with the base metal and allowed it to shrink 0.0001" per inch of circumference. So a 1.0000" inch pin would shrink 0.000314".
He still calls it metal shrink and the guys can't believe that I never set him straight.
Yea I know I shouldn't have been that way."
I am sure that there are a some good storied out there so lets have em.
