I remember in welding class in high school the prank of choice was welding someones toolbox to the work bench

Worked at a truss plant. Old guy Barney, never broke a sweat, but always postioned his lunch box at the time clock so he could hit the road running. Put the yoke of a hydraulic cylinder in the box. He bout dislocated his shoulder.
He often had a greasy finger as he was in the habit of checking the pay phone and the vending machines for forgotten change. Teaspoon of grease goes a long way!

we use to sneak up behind someone welding and spray WD40 on the arc and watch them jump when it flamed up. I still will stick a piece of mastic pad on a fitters ground clamp.

I recall the metals teacher being gone once in a nearby town. While a sub was there, the kids welded all the overhead door rollers to the track..$$$$$$$$

I sent that picture to a friend who does fabrication/welding and has a problem retaining help.

Back in the college days, I was in class with a rather rotund young man. Usually sat in front of me in the class just before lunch. When we were dismissed for lunch, I dont think our star track sprinter could have beat him to the door. He routine was always the same; he would grab his Samsonite briefcase, slap on the desk, open it, throw his book & papers in close it and he was gone in a flash. As some of you may recall, 1 key fit all off the shelf Samsonite locks. I had a Samsonite key. So during class I was able to lock both locks on his briefcase. I think I was caught by the Prof during this task but he was amused and wanted to see the outcome too. BTW He was the last to leave the room that day, just behind the Prof.

I'm not a welder, but once worked on a carpenter crew for a while. You didn't want to take your shirt or jacket off if a certain other individual was around. If you did, you would find it nailed to the floor (or to the roof if you were shingling).
I think he once nailed someone's rubbers to the floor. Ruined them, of course.

We had a plant mechanic that would come over to the farm shop, and put graphite grease in hidden spots, so that we would have a mess to clean up. One day he laid his wrench down on a steel welding bench in our shop, the foreman was welding, reached over and welded it to the bench. No more grease tricks.

Rubbers with holes are not good

Years ago, when we were still punching a time clock, one of the old timers would set his wristwatch second hand to the exact same time as the time clock. As his second hand crossed the 12, the time clock would click the next minute and it would be quitting time, and he would punch out, and leave. For fun, a few times we would unplug the time clock for about 10 seconds and watch him punch out a minute early! because the clock did not click over to quitting time, as he had expected. Mark.
