    Nice one. I was wondering about older saftey posters that i used to see. Like the one that was a photo of a detached finger with ring attached and about a meter of vains and sinue attacted still. Yuk. Do they still have them in workshops and schools?

    Wow.... a lot of those machines were well maintained, and even though by modern OHS standards there were a few things that were a 'bit suss' everything was clean and tidy, and the shiny bare metal surfaces and in particular, the way the drill press quill sprang back when the guy took his hand off the lever, could make a grown man cry...

    I will temper this burst of nostalgia with the reality that there were rat-hole workshops then as there are now, and the makers of this film chose only the tidiest of workshops to film in.

    Even if they could modernize this film for the lazy youth of today (there are exceptions and I apologize if I offended) I doubt whether there would be enough machine shops in which they could find a job, let alone an apprenticeship or career.
