James May's Man Lab
« on: October 31, 2010, 11:31:47 PM »
On earlier this evening and viewable on
iplayer
.

James deploys his trusty SAK to remove the fuse from a WWII bomb.... as you do ;)

I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

You also got a brief glimpse of his friend using a Charge (I think).   Not wholeheartedly convinced by the show, but good enough that I'll tune in again next week. :)

Can you remember what section?  I'll see if I can get a screen grab.

Agree with comment, worth seeing how it pans out.

I think it was during the train building montage, but I might be well off the mark.

That's the shot I was thinking off, but it's not a Leatherman, is it?

 :tu: Thanks for that I just watched it on Iplayer
Personally I thought it was a good little show
That's a little outside my skill set
But then again, that's never stopped me in the past  :D

Slightly disconcerting that he can't get the old wiring colours right though ::)  ::)

Though as I pointed out to my wife, most people are not confident wiring a plug as everything is moulded these days and that's a very good thing considering some of the hack jobs you see on old equipment!

Yup, I waited a few seconds to see if he'd correct himself and then, nothing. :D
