If only I had a nickel for every time I burned my fingers with the “Thingmaker”

Yup. But the E-Z Bake oven makes the list. Was a wood-burner a toy?

Our next door neighbor sold fireworks and gave us a box of assorted firecracers, including botton rockets, I put one on the edge of the box and lit it. It fell into the box and sparks went everywhere. Several cheery bombs went off; the garage with a can of gasoline was five feet away.
God was looking out for me that day (He always has). I could have blown up half the neighborhood.

But you just sucked it up and went on making Creepy Crawlers, didn’t you.

Admit it, it helped make you the man you are today.

(Did you lose that little handle thingie that you pinched together and then stuck into the slot in the aluminum mold so you could put it in the Cooling Tray?)

I had a Creepy Crawlies Thing Maker, too. Also suffered many burns LOL. That and a Vacuum Form, which also caused burns and inhaled plastic fumes.
