It reached just the right fuel-air ratio to ignite from the motor brush sparks.
It's CCTV, so no sound.

As there should be. A real workshop is always a bit cluttered looking.

2022-05-19 15:32:49 +0000 UTCPhotonicinduction needs to test lubricating a shredder with Nulon's "Start Ya Bastard." Clive can do it as well, but it that kind of a bang is more of a photon thing.

2022-05-16 22:37:58 +0000 UTCI thought leaving the now burny box of paper alone was a bad move.

2022-05-16 21:38:16 +0000 UTCPlus all the paper shreds make for lovely surface area to accelerate combustion after the flash!

2022-05-16 21:32:17 +0000 UTCMolly dry lube is great for stuff like that. It never turns into a sticky mess.

2022-05-16 21:25:34 +0000 UTCWD40 is not meant for lubricating shredders. You should use shredder oil or spray instead. Always follow the shredder manufacturer’s instructions.
