James May's Man Lab

[Neil]

On earlier this evening and viewable on iplayer.

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

[Gareth]

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.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Might have to watch that on the iplayer

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

[Neil]

Spotted a something but I'll leave any further trawling of the show to others

[Gareth]

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

[Neil]

Looks like a ... something

If its a LM I don't recognise it.

[Gareth]

Could be a Gerber?  maybe a Legend?  Or a indeed just a something.

[Reinier]

Here's another shot of that multitool



I liked the show by the way

[Jmora]

a gerber suspension?

just a guess

[Sparky415]

  Thanks for that I just watched it on Iplayer
Personally I thought it was a good little show

[Neil]

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!

That bit made me laugh

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

[Sparky415]

I was disappointed by was the finish on the concrete sink 
If he had used a vibrator it would have been a lot better
You can hold a hammer drill with something smooth in the chuck against the mold, this will settle the concrete and get the air out

Good tip that.

Home repair, toy trains, bomb disposal, and stalking.  I think Mr. May has a winner on his hands!

I found that idea when I was looking for something else on the internet 

Yes I rather like him and his show

I was going to post exactly that I enjoyed the show

[Turnstone]

I can't watch them  "Not available in your area" 

[Reinier]

Same here, but I watched it anyway

[Sparky415]

You have the wrong colour wiring

How?

[turbov21]

Motherf----n' Miracles! 

[Reinier]

Bump

There is also a Swiss Army Bike in the intro

[badwolf]

Thanks for bumping, wouldn't of known it was here, just watch it

[Neil]

I've not spotted and MTs in the first two episodes of the new series.  However I have enjoyed both episodes more than the ones from last series so will continue watching

[enki_ck]

Thanks for the bump. It seems like an amusing past time.

I learned that when I was about ten. Same time I learned how to patch a fuse too. (You know, the old ceramic ones with a thin wire in them)

I often wonder how I survived my childhood when I remember all the dangerous stuff I played with.
