I sent my current apprentice to the store a while ago to fetch back a metric shifter and a long weight (Wait)

Re: Apprentice Stories
Some of the stories I hear from OH how a company he subbies to treat their joinery apprentice is shocking - how they havent been caught and dragged through the courts I dont know!!
some of the clean ones: screwed him down to a table in the bait cabin through his clothes; pulled down his trousers and white washed his arse; tied him to lamposts; got hold of his mobile and outed him to his parents and friends etc etc.

The mildest was having a broomstick shoved through the arms of his shirt; the worst was being fastened to a wall with an electric nailgun.
Nowadays he's a strapping bloke with fists like a pair of Sunday hams; you wouldn't want to mess with him - and nobody does!
