Shop Safety Video

[@Wilfoe]

My parents spoke fondly of Primitive Pete last night. I looked him up and found this. Thanks for uploading!

We watched this in shop back in the 80's. We had our own Primitive Pete in class.

I just told one of my kids not to be Primitive Pete. They looked at me oddly. So, I wondered if this old film was available on YT. Sure enough, here it is. How do I still remember this from shop class 40 years ago????

[@JimAllen-Persona]

Because you do. We all do. Its a rite of passage.

I just mentioned Primitive Pete to a friend and yes I remember that film from shop in the 80's and I'm proud to be one on occasions

[@chevick]

Me too... LOL!

👍👌👏 I just heard of Primitive Pete for the first time and instantly came here. This video is still very important and so true about the abuse of tools. Only two things might have changed: There are rubber mallets existing and most screwdrivers have plastic handles nowadays. These can even kind of explode in ones hand when hammered on them. Splinters can easily reach ones face/eyes or at least damage ones hand.

They made us watch this film in shop class in the 7th grade around fall of 1976.

Watched this at ARMY Aviation school back in 01.to this day I still crack up when I use a wrench as a makeshift hammer.

We watched Pete in the late 60’s, remember never use the air hose above the waist 😀

Who narrated these films?

[@salvatoresalvaggio2347]

Probably a guy with a thin mustache smoking lucky strikes
