#1: GCSE science project that got out of hand. I'd decided to study what effects the critical angle of sand piles*. One factor was the size of grains. However commercial granulated sugar wasn't uniform enough for me, so I got distracted and started mucking about with a loud speaker, an frequency generator, and a strobe.
#2. He had the last working forge in Hampshire apparently. And spent most of his time making railings for the council :( Glad to here someone's still doing it.
*OMG, the article that inspired that project is free online now!

Bizarrely my final year project was a follow up from the previous student's work in sandpiles.
