Toxic Custard Workshop FilesHow to destroy your video

Step 10: The pick axe

Next was the pick axe. Josh just happened to have one in his car. I don't know if he'd got it especially for the occasion, or if he kept one in his car just in case, but no matter, it was there. 

I can't say I'm accustomed to using a pick axe. Even less so on video recorders. So the first attempt penetrated the case, but didn't go all the way through. The second time was much better, going right through the VCR. As you can imagine, it looked kind of bizarre with a pick axe stuck in it. I had a couple more bashes at it for good measure - we figured the holes would aid ventilation - then we started getting ready for the main event.

Conclusion: Get a proper swing at the VCR with the pick axe if you're trying to go all the way through.
